That's the impression you've been giving me. [that G-d is a beast that serves me]

I am truly sorry if I have done anything to give that impression to you. Please share with me how I gave you that impression.

Been there, done that, nobody showed. Got over it. Moved on.

And now, the heart of the matter. G-d did not meet your expectations. Just a question, if G-d is who the Bible says He is, then why should you demand He meet your expectations. Isn't it more reasonable that He should demand you meet His?

Think about it.

Shalom.

P.S. All current scholarship is that Luke was actually Luke, and one of the best historians of ancient times there ever was.

You assert that your alleged god is an existant being. To that, I answer, "Trot him out!"

And now, the heart of the matter. G-d did not meet your expectations.

Nope, the claims of an existant god do not meet my expectations. Thjere are over 4000 gods alleged to exist at various points in human history and by various priests etc.. Not one of the claims can meet my requirements. You assert a god exists. In logical discourse, the claimant with the initial positive assertion is under the burden of proof. Trot out your alleged god or the debate is over.

Just a question, if G-d is who the Bible says He is, then why should you demand He meet your expectations. Isn't it more reasonable that He should demand you meet His?

This is just another spin on Pascal's wager which is a fallacious argument. The same could be said of any of the other 4000 alleged gods. I don't demand your alleged god meet my expectations, I require you to back up your assertions about your alleged god with independently verifiable evidence. You cannot, the debate is over.

Think about it.

I have given the matter a great deal of thought, hence I am an atheist.

Produce the manuscript penned by Luke.
