Christian hymn of creation

If you need to ask the reason for the appearance of a rainbow, after 300 years of continuous progress in physics, then you need to get out a LOT more ...

Did the hymn mention tides? How about magnets? How the fuck do they work?

God’s a complete cunt, basically.

No, he's not. Your brother's death was caused by a just God for any number of easily justifiable reasons. For instance, he may have begun to develop stirrings of gayness, a disease that is completely curable, but your brother wilfully resisted the cure. Hence the punishment. As for your god fearing, heartbroken parents, they may have used unseemly words in the past - or worse, blasphemed - without seeking God's redemption for those sins. Hence the punishment. See? God is just, and he never makes a mistake.

Ah, I see now. It was all our fault. Thanks for clearing that up. Sorry about that, God. Please carry on with your rainbow manufacturing.

Yes. I am ever so glad you've finally understood the interlocked concepts of free will and original sin. As for the rainbow, its creation is explained in the Bible. God created it as a reminder to himself, for in his infinite wisdom he recognised that he needed reminders, to not ever flood the entire earth again.

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

(Genesis 9:9-16)

It seems a somewhat over-elaborate way of reminding himself about something. Surely a Post-It note on his fridge door would have served the purpose?

And a rainbow? Far be it from me to suggest that God is gay but, you know?

Just saying.

You are making the classic error of confusing the agent with the mechanism :naughty:

. The reflection/refraction of light through water molecules may be the material cause of how rainbows appear, but the divine agent as efficient cause is the one who sets up the conditions and physical parameters that allow the phenomenon to exist. You might want to ask, "Who made light and who made hydrogen and oxygen atoms"? Ultimately, everything natural has been made by a supernatural creator.

We know that many genetic diseases are caused by mistakes in the DNA copying process. God created a good but not perfect/optimal world. God is not to blame if we smoke ourselves silly and get lung cancer.We are the ones to blame.

LucidFlight · **#33** by **LucidFlight** » Nov 24, 2018 3:23 pm

Now that we've established who made atoms, can we get an update on the why? My understanding is that atoms are needed for rainbows.

He fucked up my DNA and gave me auto-immune issues. Fuck him. Some omnipotent creator, eh? More like incompetent wanker.

Then god is to blame for creating a not perfect/optimal world.

Wortfish wrote:God is not to blame if we smoke ourselves silly and get lung cancer.We are the ones to blame.

God created the world as not perfect/optimal therefore as the creator of this world, everything is indeed god's fault. If he'd created it perfect/optimal, then this stuff wouldn't happen.

Also there are many forms of cancer and they can occur without a person smoking. Therefore, still god's fault.

Or at least it would be god' fault, if god were shown to exist. A feat yet to be achieved by any number of fuckwitted theists.

There's a pretty stark difference between them: we've got evidence out the nose for the mechanism, but not a shred for your alleged agent. I'm pretty sure Cali is aware of that, are you?

The reflection/refraction of light through water molecules may be the material cause of how rainbows appear, but the divine agent as efficient cause is the one who sets up the conditions and physical parameters that allow the phenomenon to exist.

There is nothing efficient about multiplying unnecessary entities.

You might want to ask, "Who made light and who made hydrogen and oxygen atoms"? Ultimately, everything natural has been made by a supernatural creator.

I wouldn't want to ask that, because the question makes the unfounded assumption that there is a who. I'd rather just wait for you to present evidence for your claim, watch you fail, then point and laugh.

Or kidney disease, which killed my brother? The OP and his imaginary loving god can both go and fuck themselves with a rusty crucifix.
