atheism = self defeating.
first may we define our terms.
the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.
Care to point one out
You avoid every difficult question. You have listened to hours of Wm L Craig videos and formed your arguments in a bubble. Every word you write is either WLC or S. Meyer. You bounce all over the place using copy-paste as if you have written it yourself and never provide links. You ignore every argument of substance.
You never converse or attempt to understand anything others are saying.

Bollocks.
Christians worship an omnipotent god who is the epitome of love.
Natural disasters prove they are deluded.
Claiming that it is a mystery is nothing but dishonesty.

So the idea of an all powerful God who allows bad things is not alien to the Bible.
The bible is the motherload of dumbass sayings and contradictions.
Natural disasters proves that an omnipotent and loving god does not exist.

The bible provides on answers only dogma.
1. He is all powerful.
2. He is perfect in love.
3. We can't always understand why God acts as he does.
This is not an answer. It is an appeal to admit a blatant contradiction. No chance.
Designing a world that inevitably blows up and randomly kills millions of its inhabitants is not something an all-powerful and loving god would do.
Either he is a bad designer or a sadist.
Either way he is not the god of christian theism.

To construct even one short protein molecule of 150 amino acids by chance within the prebiotic soup
You are decades out of date. Nobody thinks life began in a prebiotic soup.
You have never read a book on evolution in your life have you?
DNA provides incontrovertible proof that all of life evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years.
PS - If you must copy-paste have the honesty to provide a link to the source.

"But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?"
Paul said a lot of stupid things. Maybe he trembled in god's presence. Doesn't mean we have to be so gullible.
Their conception of God often included the idea that his qualities are difficult to reconcile
Yes they talked a lot of self-contradictory bollocks. Surely you noticed that when you read the bible? We are all a lot wiser than anybody who contributed to the bible.
... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.
Not my conclusions Fishy the plain testimony of scripture.
The bible says eating the unbled flesh of an animal found already dead resulted only in being unclean until the evening.
You have all your work ahead of you.

Killing an animal and eating its blood is a crime.
Any Israelite or any foreigner residing among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out the blood and cover it with earth, because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.” - Lev.17:13,14
Finding a dead animal and eating its unbled flesh is not a crime.
Anyone, whether native-born or foreigner, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then they will be clean. - Lev.17:15
Please explain the difference Fishy and reconcile it with Deut 14. Don't just keep repeating the same phrase out of context.

There is nothing in that video that addresses my point. The guy that witters on about earthquakes is an ignorant buffoon.

This is not a bold claim.
