Is God A Figment of My Self-Imposed Morality?
This article is a classic example of argument by outrage. Or argument by "what cruelty"!. Or argument by the imposition of my moral standards.
Well, whatever it is, Desolate Paladin, who complains (or asks, apparently) that God is a "Sadistic Monster". Nevermind where his concept of sadism and monstrosity comes from (The Bible? Heh.), but in his attempt to show that the Biblical God is flawed, Paladin desolates himself by presupposing the God of the Bible (with his Hell and Punishment) without counting in His Holiness and Justice.
This is hardly an internal critique, for once Paladin establishes the God of the Bible (whom he abhors), he then procedes to critique it using his flimsy standards of morality.
I left a "I don't take you seriously comment" at his post, and my response (this post notwithstanding) reflects the level of his attempt at showing God to be a sadistic monster.
You've got to do better than that, Mr. Paladin.
