He's a faux-pseudointellectual - whereas I'm just a fuax-intellectual, mostly, I can get a bit pseudo when I overstep my bounds but this doesn't happen as often as with helly.

That "spark" that you allude to killed a man, according to the story.
That's quite a capacitor, if that's what you think it was.

Returning to this, it's specifically worth mentioning that some religions consider "gods" and "aliens" alike to be demons or fallen angels, with a few of the "gods" being Satan himself.

Zeus, Thor, and the Incan gods are the first to come to mind, and are particularly fascinating in lieu of the following Bible verse:

I am a Gnostic Christian but do not believe in the flying sugar daddy type of God.
This is close.

This is the goal of Gnostic Christians.

This is a decent method of getting to that goal.

Personally I don't believe in God... sometimes (I only believe in god while gambling).But believing in God... is a nice thing in itself. Not stupid or cowardly. It is having faith in something that you have no evidence of actually knowing... okay it is a little stupid. But holding that faith is quite admirable.
God being egotistical? Well being God... he can kind of afford to. I mean he can back it up. He just won't defend himself because he isn't a 14 year-old girl on facebook.
If he can and does not, how do you know he can. Oh ya. Faith.
Faith vs Reason
Faith is a way for you to quit using your "God given" power of Reason and Logic, so you will believe doctrines that moral men reject as immoral.
The God of the OT says...“Come now, and let us reason together,” [Isaiah 1:18]
How can you reason with God when you throw away reason?
Religions, especially Christianity reply.
“Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.”
“Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.”
Martin Luther “
This puts the rest of us in a position where reasoning with theist becomes impossible.
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
Jonathan Swift
Literalism is an evil practice that hides the true messages of myths. You cannot show our friends that they are wrong through their faith colored glasses. Their faith also plugs their ears.

Moral fact: God doesn't owe you or anyone else eternal life.
Fun fact: God saying how great he is, isn't egotism or pride, it's actually a fact that he's bigger than all of us.
It's also a fact that we owe him our lives and thus really ought to pay up.
Use a knife then.
Enjoy the education that Rudolf Steiner gives you in this clip.

Did you follow that Steiner link just above.
If so, you will know that me insulting God is just insuring that unless someone refutes my judgement, what I am doing is training myself never to be as big of a prick as he is shown to be inn scriptures as well as making sure I never sit back and suffer lies being told about my character and morals.
Seems to me that that is what a good God would do. Do you agree?

so you want God to debate with you about His character? or you're just training yourself of blasphemy?

When you can answer a straight question, we might chat.
The fact that you do not answer show that you know you cannot answer it in a worthy fashion.
Your religion has hurt your ability to think just as it has corrupted your morals.

He was probably assuming gods were personal being, if that's the case, aliens would fit the description.
If you go by the line of thought they never existed in any fashion or form, they can't be dead by obvious reasons.
I'm nitpicking either way 😛

Can something fictitious be dead? Casper the ghost is dead. 🙂

you twist the Scriptures... you didn't even lay out a decent premise to deserve a decent response to begin with... you just say "God is evil" - and dared anyone to refute it... again, please compose yourself...
you cannot even convince anyone that your religious affiliation is THE truth... you denounce God as evil, you reject religion, and you twist Bible verses to conform with your twisted interpretation...

Better whatever I do than accept that a genocidal son murdering God is somehow good like you do.
Imagine you have two children. One of your children does something wrong – say it curses, or throws a temper tantrum, or something like that. In fact, say it does this on a regular basis, and you continually forgive your child, but it never seems to change.
Now suppose one day you’ve had enough, you need to do something different. You still wish to forgive your child, but nothing has worked. Do you go to your second child, your good child, and punish it to atone for the sins of the first?
In fact, if you ever saw a parent on the street punish one of their children for the actions of their other child, how would you react? Would you support their decision, or would you be offended? Because God punished Jesus -- his good child -- for the sins of his other children.
Interestingly, some historical royal families would beat their slaves when their own children did wrong – you should not, after all, ever beat a prince. The question is: what kind of lesson does that teach the child who actually did the harm? Does it teach them to be a better person, to stop doing harm, or does it teach them both that they won't themselves be punished, and also that punishing other people is normal? I know that's not a lesson I would want to teach my children, and I suspect it's not a lesson most Christians would want to teach theirs. So why does God?
For me, that’s at least one significant reason I find Jesus’ atonement of our sin to be morally repugnant – of course, that’s assuming Jesus ever existed; that original sin actually exists; that God actually exists; etc.

God didn't punish Jesus... God sent Jesus to save people, and Jesus sacrificed Himself to cleanse the world from sin... you really have a twisted logic when it comes to the Scriptures...
God and Jesus exists...
and there is no original sin...
that's what the Bible says... stop misinterpreting the Bible deliberately...
