There cannot be a benevolent, omnipotent god. If there was, then why is there suffering? Why would an innocent child suffer? We cannot have Free Will if god is omnipotent as god would know that we won't believe in god. If the bible is the word of an omnipotent god, then why would it be bastardized so often throughout history?

How about these: 1 Timothy 2:9, 11-12. 14-15 1 Timothy 5:23 Acts 3:23 Acts 16:31 Romans 11:7-10, 25 Romans 1:31-32

2 Kings 2:23-24 - explain it

Ahh the old Pascal's wager. Add Homer's addendum "what if god isn't worth worshiping?" Here is a better "commandment" written by Marcus Aurelius in the 2nd century CE “Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

Christianity (as well as Judaism and Islam) are creations by man to control ignorant man.

According to the bible, god's #1 rule is that humans must worship god. The other nine are different depending upon which chapter you get them from. IF god is all knowing, then why must god's rules state that we must worship god or suffer?

We have only Five Possible Choices for a deity: 1. No Existence 2. A Deity Exists and is Evil 3. A Deity Exists and is Incompetent 4. A Deity Exists and is Irrelevant 5. A Deity Exists and is Some Combination of 2-4 And should it be 2-5 then it does not merit being worshiped.

yawn

man created A god to try to explain the things that early man had no understanding of. This is not God. There is no God.

You do not KNOW that there is not a multiverse. There is no evidence that proves it does or does not. Much like with god. There is no proof that god exists or does not exist. I thought jesus was god, so he was the father of himself...
