Blob, would you conclude that it's not possible for a doctor to join the army and go to war? I mean, a doctor is supposed to save lives, but he's also killing people...using your logic, such a thing isn't possible.

Insults and calling me a liar. Is that all you have for me?

No. A doctor does not claim to be all healing.

And that is where the incoherency of god comes in - the "all"nesses. He could judge some and pardon others as you heplfully point out, but that renders him part-just and part-merciful.

No it doesn't. He is still all-just and all-merciful. You'd be right if there were some people who didn't have to worry about hell because He isn't going to judge them. But that's not so, and you're wrong.

Slob and liar, yes. You give us the impression you are correct on all terms. You clearly don't understand God, as if I would expect that from an atheist (who really is an agnostic in your case). Bow down before Blob, the ultimate authority on everything.

KMart.

If everyone is judged then he is all-just, I agree, but at the cost of being not at all merciful.

Good grief you seem to ignore so much. It's not one or the other. It's both. One does not remove the other. God, being just, must punish people for their sin, and God being merciful gives man a way out of his sin-ever heard of Jesus?

You'd want a creepy God before you'd believe. You want a good God who winks and nods at everyone's sins in His creepy mercy.

So his mercy does not extend to those who do not accept Jesus - it is limited.

The problem with these rationalisations is it's like laying an oversized carpet - as soon as you push down on one lump another pops ups elsewhere.

No, God's mercy is not limited-in His mercy He extends salvation to everyone-everyone, though, does not accept it.

And, Blob, I'm not giving you the benefit of the doubt-explain where you get your rationalism? I don't think atheists have the ability to say anything and call it rational. Fallacy of stolen argument-you're trying to prove Christianity wrong by assuming its true. :P

Announcer: Now please welcome Blob (real name ***)

Blob: Hello my fellow humans. I am here today to tell you the truth, the truth in what I know as fact, some may be shocked and offended whilst others may be praising me. I am here to tell you as the world's only hyper extremist scientist, that everything you have believed is a lie. We have evolved from cells in only one area on the entire planet, there is absolutely no God whatsoever even though I can't prove it, I know the everything of everythings. If you would like, you may call me god, the Blob god. I possess all knowledge. The Bible, created by early uninformed humans, has many problems, although tons say there isn't. I am here to give an account explanation for EVERYTHING, because I am Blob the god. Now, I would like to start at the beginning...

*Audience is horribly board, listening to non-sense for a mere 12 hours brought up by previous atheists*

Blob: In conclusion, I am right, you are wrong, I am smart, you are dumb, I know everything, you know nothing. As I said again, you may call me Blob the god.

Audience member: *shouts* More like Blob the Slob!

Blob: What? No, you are misinformed, I really do know everything.

Audience: Get off the stage you unfactual and soundly absurd individual, you possess nothing new!

Blob: Fine, I am still right, you will see one day, Muwhaahaha!

*75 years pass*

Broadcast: *Anchorwoman* The man named Blob the god that 75 years ago announced that one day we would see he is right is now a myth. His "facts" were mere myths.

Broadcast: *Anchorman* Yeah, what a nimwit, he couldn't see past his own illogical unfactual assumptions.

Blob, you continually say you're not an atheist because you hold out that you could possibly be wrong. But why is it that you're so sure you're right here and now? You're contradicting yourself.

I'll just have to hope he's in an all-merciful mood not an all-just one when I meet him.
where you get your rationalism?
My rationality and irrationality come from the same place as yours - the human mind.

I am not assuming it is true - I am saying if it were true then such and such.

Because reality is that which when you stop believing it, it doesn't go away. I could think "I am not here" but here I stay.

You're such a little twit for such an old person.

First, the mind is non-material, which means you're contradicting yourself, and second, no, your mind is the not source of rationality.

Yes you are-you are accepting assumptions that only Christianity can give you, meaning you assume it's true.

Your point? You haven't explained your inconsistencies.
