    I read what you wrote but was giving you the benefit of the doubt. Just to be clear, you’re saying that you’d prefer drunk drivers in cars versus bikes because you’re more concerned about the drunk driver’s safety than people they might run into/over?

    My speculation is that lowering the drinking age should result in fewer deaths overall for this very reason. I don’t want drunk drivers to die either but if I had to choose I’d prefer the drunk drivers to die over the person that they hit. I also reject your premise that crashing into something with your bike is more dangerous than crashing into something with a car, seatbelt or not. Speed is a pretty big factor and while drunk biking is surely dangerous it’s a lot less likely to crash at higher speeds.






  • Oh that’s fun. Read through it and it’s a long winded regurgitating of what you already tried to pull off without success. It avoids actually answering the question of why your god isn’t powerful enough to eradicate evil while preserving humans and free will. Then still claims your god is all powerful. Can’t have both no matter how many Bible verses you quote or paragraphs you write while not answering the question.

    The great part of this article is that it gets even more morally bankrupt than you have been. After lots of exposition about how it’s ok that evil exists cuz reasons and God is mysterious etc, it goes on to say:

    1. The ends justify the means. It’s ok that a good and all powerful god sits back with some popcorn and allows all this suffering to happen because some day when he gets around to it, he will rapture everyone who believes and continue to torture everyone who doesn’t. Catholicism is truly evil for being ok with this and has no place in a moral society.

    2. The old, just trust bro. This is the one that is always the actual answer. It’s always at the end because of how flimsy it is but it’s always there because it’s really obvious that god does not exist. Plugging your ears and saying I don’t care really loud over and over is the only way to keep believing. “Yeah we know it’s completely idiotic to believe this stuff but believing things that make no sense is actually a virtue! We call it faith instead of being gullible because that sounds better.”












  • So you can’t explain any of the contradictions and your cult is a scam. Got it! This is the point in the conversation where you’ve realized that your belief system is a lie but since you’ve been forced to believe from a young age you just keep saying non sequiturs so you don’t have to admit that god might not be real. I promise that if you can let reality in you will feel a lot better. When you realize there’s not some invisible scumbag reading all your thoughts and constantly judging you for them, you’ll be able to love yourself and others. You’ll realize that religion actually makes it harder to be good.

    the physical

    What else is there? Be prepared with actual evidence. Vibes don’t count and “muh faith” is a cop out fyi.

    he is an powerful and all good

    You just keep saying over and over again that an all powerful and all good being created evil and allows it to exist. Such a being could instantly remove all evil without destroying anything. If a being with this power does not do that then they are not good. If they are good but cannot remove evil then they are not all powerful. You can’t have both no matter how many times you say something that completely contradicts itself.

    he loves us

    Loves us enough to torture us for eternity if we happened to not believe some crap that makes absolutely no sense, contradicts itself constantly, and was written by 2000 - 60000 year old men who thought that the sun goes around the earth and disease was caused by being smote for bad deeds due to ignorance about reality. Not their fault but still. Strange how religion continues to get smaller the more truth we learn about reality. Mount Olympus used to house gods until someone climbed it. Yahweh was the god of the sky until we invented the telescope. They just keep getting less and less powerful.
