Darkmatter2525 on how deists co-opt the word “God” for Yahweh

Darkmatter2525:  People abuse the word “God” in conversation. If people used a proper name instead of saying “God” then it wouldn’t be assumed everyone is talking about their personal version. “I don’t believe in Zeus” doesn’t sound so strange to them. Neither would “I don’t believe in Yahweh

Apologists get a lot of mileage by pretending that they’re arguing for deism, because they co-opted the word “God” as the name for their deity. That’s wrong. He’s Yahweh. He’s a specific character who evolved in stories told throughout history, same as all the other deities.
Atheist U: This is one of the reasons I’m always careful to refer to it as “your Claimed Version of a god.” (CVoag)
Darkmatter2525:

Specifically apologists fall back onto arguing for deism, just a nebulous god of which we know nothing about, but this isn’t true. We can’t pretend like we know nothing of their “god” because of all the claims about Him, and it is through those claims that we disprove Him.

God’s morality at Soddom

 

Ah yes, always disheartening to see someone derive moral value from a libelous story wherein the only man the Lord deemed worthy enough to live was a man who offered up his daughters to be gang raped, and who subsequently impregnated them himself. Bravo, sir.

Jesus showed disciples miracles, but shrugs in modern times

Its ironic how Jesus showed miracles to his disciples to make them believe in god, but want us to believe him just like that.

 

Lol, see picture.

Six Feet Under: Death to The Rapture

 

Just your Sunday reminder that many (most?) Christian Zionists don’t support Israel because they like Jews, but because they think it will bring about the return of Jesus and the end of the world, when everyone but themselves, including Jews, will be sent to Hell.
