"The reason is not known to me, but I would say that the element of coercion to get someone or something to love you devalues the worth of love itself."
Be an arse-kisser to a 'loving' deity or be roasted for eternity? And that's not coercion?
Kinda Q.E.D.'d yourself* there, dearie. And you wonder why Atheism's star is in the ascendant?!
Free offer! God's Unconditional* Love!
*- Terms and Conditions apply.
'Irony'. I suggest you read Judges 1:19 in your Bible, dearie. It's very pertinent as to why so many aren't 'believers' like you today. The phrase 'Contradiction in terms' exists for a reason.
And it's Reason (and logic) which dictates that if a supposed 'omipresent 'God' couldn't see Iron Chariots even existing in the first place, never mind used to drive out opposing forces, then your 'God' isn't what he claims to be, therefore he's a contradiction to himself, ergo, he doesn't exist. Q.E. and D., bitch.
Also, ergo Atheism. And why it's more than infinitely superior to fundie religion. In every way.
*- And the Bible does too (emphasis added):
Isaiah 45:7: 'I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.'
So actually, Lucifer has absolutely fuck all to do with all evil that exists in the world. Thanks for admitting what I (and so many others) have been saying: Satan is actually the good guy in all of this.
Great advertisement for Satanism, fundies.
@Dr. Shrinker
As per what this cuntbrain fundie says (along with the whole concept of theirs being a 'God of Love'):
"but I would say that the element of coercion to get someone or something to love you devalues the worth of love itself."
'Love'. You keep using that word, fundies. I do not think it means what you think it means.
