How to counter a stupid illustration in the Bible Teach Book
by NVR2L8 inthe bible teach book uses the example of a math teacher who is challenged by a student who disagrees on how to resolve a math problem.
the teacher then lets him attempt to prove his point knowing that he can only fail.
the object of the exercise is to show the rest of the students that the teacher is right - that there is only one way to resolve the math problem....this is likened to jehovah letting satan exercise his power over the world so that the entire universe can witness his failure and that only jehovah's ways lead to happiness.... instead of maths, what if the teacher taught chemistry and a student would want to prove that the teacher is wrong when he says that certains chemicals can't be mixed without causing an explosion that would wipeout the school...would any sane, responsible, loving teacher allow such a student to experiment and wipeout the whole class just so the teacher can prove he was right?

why would God hardened the heart of Pharaoh
I know this is going to sound crazy, but it's because YHWH had lost to Pharaoh in a game of Monopoly 2 weeks prior (Pharaoh scored Mayfair early on and the game was pretty much over after that. God lost $50 and a case of Stella, and was not a happy camper). Basically the whole 'Heart Hardening' incident was God just pranking Pharaoh, trying to get his own back. In the Bible there are plenty of examples of God's wicked sense of humour - take the Bear and the 42 children. So YHWH's prank was pretty run-of-the-mill, to be honest.
This whole theory is evidenced by how YHWH directly interacts with his home-boy Moses. God got Moses involved, and although he was a cry-baby at first, he was really into it by the 5th plague. Moses was just a 'front' so Pharaoh didn't catch on during the early stages.

Y'all are forgeting the wonders of FLIGHT!!
I'd be an eagle - majestic, soaring, with the wind in my feathers. . .
Until I get cocky and die tragically in a game of chicken with a 18-wheeler.

EVERYONE IS AN ATHEIST
by nicolaou init's the starting point for each of our journeys even if many move away from it.
some return while others never do though even these remain 'atheists' towards a strangers god.
eventually we end up in the same absence of belief and knowledge as when we began.. the journey is what makes a life and if yours contains a belief in god that's fine - so long as it causes no harm.

EVERYONE IS A THEIST
by botchtowersociety insince everything comes from god, it's the starting point for each of our journeys even if many move away from it.
some return while others never do though even these remain 'theists' towards a deeply held conviction.
eventually we all die and meet our maker and end up in the presence of belief and knowledge as when we began.. the journey is what makes a life and if yours contains a lack of belief in god that's fine - so long as it causes no harm.
