EvC Forum: God caused or uncaused?

Well, we certainly know that our species has a characteristic of inventing Gods

Hard not to when we are created in God's image and are therfore hard-wired for logical thinking

Inventing Gods is logical thinking? OK....

Rob writes:

Laugh all you want. It's easy to laugh. And it's also easy to find a contradiction. It does no good to say it is not logical. You must sustain the argument with 'evidence' of how and why it is not logical. It doesn't have to be emperical. It only needs to be coherent.

I invite you to put the God of the bible on trial and find a contradiction...

Surely you must be joking thinking that the Bible is consistent. One doesn't need empirical evidence just the source itself, it is internally contradicting.

Show how commandments to

Love your Neighbor and your enemies

Is consistent or coherent with Godly commands such as:

"Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor."

And the dozens of other genocidal commandments through out the OT.

Or how are these statements consistent

"For God is not the author of confusion"

and

"let us go down and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech" or "God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise" or "God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie"

Or is God merciful to all?

"The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works"

and

"And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them"

The only way these statement and philosophies (and many more) could possibly be consistent is if you are under some strong delusion

Which now that I think about it may explain a few things.
