Why should a man second-guess a god?


Whose second guessing a god. I'm second guessing your absurd claims that there is a god. When said god shows up at my door, then I can second guess his inane actions, but until then, I'm simply second guessing the claim that any god exists at all.


I'm not making any claim that there are gods. I, too, am an atheist. I'm only making a conditional statement that if there are gods, it would not be the place of men to second-guess them. I wasn't commenting on the truth value of my statement's antecedent, just pointing out an inconsistency in rapala's reasoning.


Because another god seems to be offering a better deal. I think that the point of the quote is that one should not care about the unjust good. Why would I want to be "welcomed" by a god that does not care about my pursuit of good life but only about devotion?


If a god exists and created us, not second guessing him with the brain he gave us is to deny his essence.

Either it's exactly what we should be doing, god's a complete idiot, or he doesn't exist.

Regardless, not much concerning ourselves with.


Because we can.
