>black people are actually Jew
Oh no... oh no no no... THOSE lunatics got to him?! The
Black Hebrew Israelites?! I thought it was just general, weirdo, conspiracy theory anti-semites. You know, poa.st users. I never suspected the other fuckers.

Firstly, I said I wouldn't show him respect. I think worship would be on an even higher step than that. But I can treat them as synonymous for now.
Secondly, there's a difference between "I wouldn't respect/worship him" and "he doesn't deserve to be worshiped". The first stems from my personal subjective opinion of god, the second is an objective statement. Whether the Christian god is objectively worthy of worship or not, is beyond my ability to judge. But again, I'll treat these 2 statements as synonymous for now.
I still disagree that me thinking he's unworthy of my respect/worship is proof of me fearing his potential existence. Considering how powerful god is claimed to be, if there was even an inkling of me thinking god could exist, wouldn't it be logical for me to respect him? Isn't that what the basis of Pascal's wager is?

So you're ok with people here over-analyzing my words, and coming to conclusions about what I feel/think, but priests analyzing the scriptures for close to two thousands years, to better understand the god they believe in, and coming to conclusions of their own, is too much for you.
Ok then. Pride is not a sin. I rescind any such allegations.
@Xenophon @hrast @book
Ok, I think I understood you better now. I guess that should hold true, I'm just not sure how you'd disprove his non-existance. Something like that would surely be worthy of something akin to a Nobel prize. Good luck in that endeavour. I shall await to read about you in the newspaper.
@Xenophon @hrast @book
You say math disproves the existence of no god, but don't state how, so there really is nothing for me to add here. If your claim is true, I'm sure a scientific paper will become available for me to read in due time on the matter, as this would be one of the most important discoveries of mankind.
>over-analyzing
Over what? What did I go over?
>and coming to conclusions about what I feel/think,
Why wouldn't it be okay to come to conclusions about what you feel/think based on what you say to us?
>but priests analyzing the scriptures for close to two thousands years, to better understand the god they believe in, and coming to conclusions of their own, is too much for you.
You could not reference those traditions if you tried.
