The Judeo-Christian God has Poor Communication Skills

Thanks for passing on last round and waiting so that we can finish the debate. I really appreciate it. I was away visiting family and stuff, but I'm back now. By the way, you called me she hahaha. I'm a guy lol.God communicating himself to us is very important to God, and our life depends on God communicating himself to us. So, God should be extremely clear when communicating with us. The standard of communication God has to meet is quite high. My opponent asserts that our life depends on communicating with God, and communicating effectivly is one of God's top priorities. If God did not care if we knew about him, that may explain why the message of God is so confusing. However, since God cares very very much that we know about him and our life depends on it , God's message should be extremely clear. God has poor communication skillsMy opponent argues that God communicates well, "The real misinterpretations come from men and not God.[7] God has given the true word. Men have took from it and added to it, This is the real cause of confusion." he says. The only reason one could blame men is if humans were completely incapable of understanding God. Since it is important to God that we know him, God would not create people completly incapable of understanding him. God would not value an impossible task. Notice a contradiction my opponent makes. He says "The real misinterpretations come from men and not God.[7] God has given the true word. Men have took from it and added to it, This is the real cause of confusion." Yet later when talking about religious texts my opponent claims "Though is it naive to think a incorruptible God who gave us His word will let that Word become corrupt by common man." My opponent claims that misinterpretations of men caused confusion and that God will not allow men to corrupt his message to cause confusion. This is a complete contradiction.Succesful communication can be measured as to how well people understand the message. Just in Christianity there are 41,000 different demoninations, and nearly every single person has a different personal view of God [1]. Many people try very hard to understand God. God fails at clearly communicating his message God communicates poorly through prophets My opponent argues that the Bible says which prophet is real and which is not. "You know who is a prophet by reading and studying the Bible for selves. This will enable you to recognize who is of God and who is not." My opponent claims, Jesus is the real prophet because the Bible says so. So, God's communication through prophets is contingent on the God communicating well through the Bible. There are many religious texts and no clear way to differentiate them and find the "real" one. ( I will later go deeper into religious texts) God communicates poorly through divine feelings My opponent argues that miracles were shown to writers of the Bible to confirm their divine feelings. "God used miracles in the Bible. He confirmed the His presence to those through whom He displayed the miracles." Again this is contigent on the Bible, which i will show was poorly communicated later.My opponent only justifies the divine feelings felt by those who wrote the Bible. To divine feelings felt by anyone else ever, my opponent says "As I said before to know you are having revelation from God is to stay in his word and do his will." I think he says that people just "know" they are divine feelings. My argument in round 2 stands. It is impossible to tell which "feelings"are from God or from ones own mind.God communicates poor through religious texts My opponent argues that God would not let men cause misunderstanding by mistranslating religious texts. "Though is it naive to think a incorruptible God who gave us His word will let that Word become corrupt by common man." this contradicts his previous claim that misunderstanding is caused by men and not God. My opponent said"The real misinterpretations come from men and not God.[7] God has given the true word. Men have took from it and added to it, This is the real cause of confusion." My opponent argues both that men cannot cause misunderstanding and that men are the cause of misunderstanding. He can't have it both ways.My opponent says that "divine feelings" effectivly show which religious text is correct. He says "To know which word is right is to have God first and through Him, His word will speak to you."My opponent argues that "divine feelings" show that the Bible is correct and the Bible shows that the "divine feelings" are God. This is circular faulty reasoning. There is no way of knowing which religious text should be followed and religious texts require interpretation because they are not clearlt communicated. My argument in round 2 stands.ConclusionI have shown that the Judeo-Christian God has poor communication skills. Just in Chistianity, there are over 41,000 different denominations. There are also many different denominations of the Jewish and Muslim faiths. Nearly every single person has a different view of God. It is very very important too God that we know about him and the life of Humans depend on it( my opponent asserts this). So, because of the vast importance of this message, God ought be extremely clear when communicating to humans. I have shown that God does not communicate clear enough. He has poor communication skills.My opponent argues poorly. He contradicts himself and uses circular reasoning. He claims that God is clear and men cause confusion. He also claims that God will not allow men to corrupt his message. My opponent argues that "divine feelings" effectivly show that the Bible is correct, and the "divine feelings" are correct because the Bible says so. All of his counter arguments have been debunked. Should be an easy vote for pro.[1]http://christianity.about.com...
