Psychopaths

Post #1

Post by Purple Knight »

If there's a God that determines right and wrong, why the flaming shipwreck did he give some people their own Jiminy Cricket and not others?

Sometimes I just want a magic bug that gives me the right answer. When it seems like nobody else has to think about it, and they certainly don't have to explain it to me, sometimes I don't want to have to think about it either.

Is there a good reason some people missed out?

Bible tells God is the creator of earth, plants, animals and humans. viewtopic.php?p=1011414#1011414
As I said, 'no verifiable evidence' -- just tales in an ancient book.

Actually, it was Leprechauns that created earth, plants, animals (including humans).

Don't believe me? "I have a book that says so".

Basically, you are now saying Brahma is no one. That kind of contradiction ruins your otherwise entertaining attempt.

There is nothing entertaining about a foreign god taking credit for Brahma, the Creator's handiwork.

Brahma most certain is someone. Every time you see a living being you are viewing evidence of Brahma. This just shows that no matter how much evidence skeptics are given, they will deny the true creator, Brahma, the Creator.

I have this book that says so.

It also says that if we believe the book we will find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that Leprechauns created. Only <shudder> skeptics would doubt the book (but they are going to hell anyway, so it doesn't matter).

I have no verifiable evidence that the book is true and accurate -- just as god-worshipers have no verifiable evidence that the tales in their favorite book are true and accurate.

But you just said that no one has created him and that he has created himself, which is contradiction and means he is no one. Maybe you should ask help from your god in this, because you are not really going strongly now.

Yes, the Big Book of Leprechaun (BBL) is the revealed and inspired word of the creator Leprechaun. I know the BBL is true because of the self-authenticating witness of the invisible Leprechaun avatar.

Not at all. Brahma works in mysterious ways. With Brahma, all things are possible. Brahma exits as a result of his own creative power. He is indeed the great Creator.
