Per my earlier post, I don't see that God gets off the hook that easily. But I also don't see any point in arguing such issues.

I don't mind being a friend of the devil, Mike.
You went from being a hyper-rational atheist, to espousing Calvinist theology with a twist; pure resentment toward the Creator; Our Father, Who art in Heaven.

Now now. I don't actually espouse Calvinism or resent our Dear Father. I'd have to believe the omnipotent omniscient sky daddy exists to do either. But since you hold that He exists, I see Calvinism as an issue for you, and I indeed hold that it's this God that would need forgiveness.
But am I reading you right? Are you calling me a devil? If so, I am very sorry for being too provoking, this is recreational disputation for me.

Our disputation is recreational for me, as well.
I clearly stated that Calvinism is a non-issue for my belief system. The idea that God needs forgiveness, is the Cause Belli of a war fought in Heaven.
It doesn't bother me that you treat it lightly. This is how the devil makes 'himself' disappear. If you are merely human, as I am, then you're doing an excellent job advocating for the devil.

I'm glad that makes sense to you. To me, it's gibberish.

Remember the political slur about 'Godless Communists' ?
Now we have 'Godlessness' every where.
The Book of Revelation says this would happen, right before the Battle of Armageddon.
We're going to have to fight that, even though no one believes in Jack or shit.

My continuation of this discussion can be found here, to avoid continuing this blatant topic drift in the political thread....

Back to the Trump Era.
He managed to get a security fence around the White House before the BLM marchers approached. Pushed them back while waving a Christian Bible (upside down).
Then he managed to over-run the White House with violence when he lost the 2020 election.
What next ?

He will start his own "Occupy White House" movement by asking the Congress to rename the WH to Trump House.
Rename President's Day to Trump Day.
Commission a $1,000,000 note with his own image of course.
