If a Single God Exists and Is Responsible For Creating Our World, This God Is a Jerk

your Response: You're passing the buck to "man" in regard to these bad things that are occurring by saying "man" chose for this to happen. In your view "man" acknowledged God's promise of harmful consequences and yet still told God to bring it on. My Response: true Your Response: However, you're forgetting that God created "man" and chose for "man" to have this power. Also, God had the foresight to know the harm that would come about as a consequence. So, God must have planned for this harm to come about and used "man" as an intermediary. What's this God doing purposefully putting itself in a bind and being forced to bring about harm? I defined God as infallible, all knowing, and all powerful so if the event you're talking about took place, then God must have gone into it with the plan of having "man" create harm. Now God is not only a jerk, but a sneaky jerk at that. My Response: He did not force man to sin.....he knew that they would but he gave them the option. He gave man the ability to choose between right and wrong. We still have that today.. It's not just the Garden of Eden. God had two options, 1. create man so they would be FORCED to worship him (which would make him a jerk), or 2. Give man freedom to make his own dicisions and face the consequences. What would you have him do? Adam and Eve made a pact with the devil....shouldn't God punish them for that? After he gave them paradise... Your Response: This God is infallible, all knowing, and all powerful so it could have created a safer water system had it chose to. Also, world/Earth water system creating is not my trade. This God is qualified in designing the Earth's water system and I'm sure if it weren't for the fact that this God was a jerk, the Earth's water system would be much safer. Also, this goes against your earlier statement that "God created a perfect world" because evidently God purposefully put in these flaws as a way to cause harm. Are these water system problems a result of the sin from "man" as well? Did the sin from "man" restructure the Earth's water system in a dangerous way different than God initially created? If so, God is still responsible for being a jerk for the same reasoning I have laid out in my paragraph above. My Response: Your just calling God names now.... the flood changed every water system on the planet, due to sin.... And again God gave us choices, he lets us run our lives. do you want him to protect us from everything while we sin?? Your Response: First off, and once again, God could have designed a much safer water system instead of being a jerk and making it so dangerous. Further, water has so many benefits that it affords us. That's like putting a treat next to a landmine and blaming the victim for not being more careful. The earth is riddled with such landmines. This jerk God plays some sick games. My Response: you can kill yourself walking down the street....floods don't always kill, you just need to be in a safe place. And don't forget the devil is playing games on earth as well. Your Response: Ad Hominid Alert!!! What does this have to do with the validity of my claim? My Response: It has to do with the absurdity of your claim. You're whole argument is just you insulting God over and over again, That obviously stems from something. Your Response: ~~~ Proof by Contraposition ~~~ Premise: If this God were not a jerk, we'd expect to see an absence of nasty things in this world. My Response: Wrong, the devil does nasty things Your Response: Contrapositive: If there are nasty things in this world, then this God is a jerk. My Response: Wrong again, see devil Your Response Conclusion: There are nasty things in this world; therefore, this God is a jerk. My Response: Because of the existance of satan you cannot make this claim. Your response: I notice you are insisting that the premise in this section is not valid, but I am consistently showing to you that it is by the argument in the former section. Come up with more cases when you think you're invalidating this premise and I will falsify every one of them. My Response: Satan....go for it.
