That's the one part of my post which I couldn't articulate. You have to deal with the rest. I assume that you think that according to the bible, it is okay for a person who doesn't believe in God to judge him.
​
I must laugh at that conclusion, considering what it says about sin, and mankind.
​
Perhaps you may allow us unbelivers (aka unmikes) to question your belief system (or not as the case may be).
​
Does it make you feel important to speak for God (or in your evident case god)?

Re: To Start This Topic Out....
My purpose is to understand through dialectic reasoning, it is not to be provided some absolute 'truth' from 'on high' from someone who does not provide the appropriate credentials to speak for any given deity. If you can't cut it, then all I can say is good luck.

At this stage we have reached already, alas, an impass.
​
I can not longer respond because my main purpose was to respond to Phat. Ad hominem allusions about me are not the topic. Also, it seems to be that people can't respond to my actual reasoning, but again question me.
​
it is easy to dish it out - but harder to take it. I will no longer debate people who only question, but cannot answer.
​
I question your allegiance to Biblical literalism, despite science. Any 'absolute' morality, and your self-proclaimed speaking for any deity. The real question is can you handle it?
