#465 | Greg claims STR would not exist were it not for donations from “strategic partners”. Why would this be so given Greg also claims to worship an actual omnipotent God? How does this need for human wealth follow? Are the consequences we would expect were there an actual omnipotent God reflected in this?
#409 | How could the Gospel’s promise of a divine protection greater than the protection given sparrows and lilies have been limited to the disciples when the sparrow/lilies argument is of a universal context? Is this promise not clearly falsified by the current suffering of Christians? (Matthew 6:28)
Can apologists rewrite this passage into anything that resembles an actual promise to Christians?
#347 | Why is the power of an indwelling Holy Spirit manifest (at best) marginally above the powers of normal humans VS close to the power of an omnipotent God? Why this apparent historical decline in God’s power with increased proximity to the tools of scrutiny?
#345 | Why would we ever believe someone who claims to be representing a universe-creating God when they also ask for money? Of all possible divine acts, isn’t financially providing for true spokespersons without asking for audience dollars one of the most trivial to perform?
#185 | Greg responds “The Bible is 66 books long. Does the questioner expect God to convey all that information?” What is the problem here? Why would this be the least bit problematic for God? If God is in the room with me, why not simply talk to me?
#131 | Since it is no more difficult for God to immediately heal the trauma from a 30-story fall than from a 30-inch fall, is he careful not to immediately heal 30-story-fall injuries to avoid having his existence too clearly discernible from his non-existence?
#125 | If both are equally possible in view of God’s omnipotence, and miracles are given to demonstrate God’s power, why do alleged resurrections today feature people 1) a mere few hours dubiously dead, rather than 2) a few months indisputably dead?
#108 | How can it be epistemically honest to dismiss an expectation of the type of evidence we would normally expect of an omnipotent, omnipresent and loving God such as an immediate and direct visual and audible interaction with the claim “God’s ways are not our ways“?
#058 | Why do miracle claims cluster on the border of what is physically possible rather than being spread across the entire space of possibility for an omnipotent God? Why no resurrections of those dead for 3 months? Why no survival of those missing a heart or brain?
#057 | Why do miracles claims clump around the debatable threshold between what is physically possible and not possible? An actual omnipotent God can raise all 300 victims of a plane crash years later, but today a “miracle” is more a sole survivor in a crash. Explanation?
#026 | Rank the odds of a thinking agent behind a… (1) 1,000,000^2 km beach w/ 1 stack of 7 pebbles (2) 1^2 meter beach w/ 1 stack of 7 pebbles (3) 1,000,000^2 km beach w/ all pebbles stacked 7 high What configuration of the universe should we most expect were there a God focused on humans?
#010 | Am I wrong to assume that, if there were the actual God of the Universe living inside you, there would be unequivocal dramatic effects far surpassing what is found in false faiths? What are the statistically demonstrable functions of the Holy Spirit within Christians?
