I suppose, but there is a difference between argumentation of the constructive sort and argumentation of the bashing sort. A topic like this is not so much about gaining theological insight as it is about sheer antagonistic feelings towards theology. I don't believe Seismosaur's fanatical criticism of the subject has anything to do with him wanting to understand the subject. If you ask me, I think he just likes harassing the religious for its own sake, which is pathetic.

I just want to note for the record that there has only been one actual answer to the question in this thread.

I know the question in the initial post came across as insulting because of the way it was asked, but that has been covered plenty already. It is still a legitimate question in intellectual terms. So it would be interesting to see more answers.

Because the issue of rudeness has become the main topic, I want to shift the conversation to the intended issue. I'll put it this way...

Explain here why you are passionately attached to the debated idea of an omnipotent deity. Some of us would really like to understand.

Honestly, what difference does it make? There have been countless threads asking the same question countless different ways and not one of them has satisfied anyone who supposedly wants answers to these burning questions.

What difference does it make what difference it makes?

Please help with the effort to steer this thread to the main topic. If you think the thread sucks, then let that be a reason for you not to post in it.

Still waiting for an answer, Seismosaur.

Explain why you are fanatically attached to the idea of meaningless existence.
