Godless Engineer

Every time an atheist raises the Euthyphro Dilemma, the apologist move is the same: 'Well, God forbids murder because it's actually wrong.'

Cool. You just lost the argument.

If wrongness exists independently of God and He is merely the one reporting on it, then God isn't the source of morality. He's a middleman. A cosmic ethics librarian. Divine Command Theory just retired itself.

You can have a God who defines morality (horn 1) or you can have objective morality (horn 2). You cannot have both.

Which horn did your pastor pick? Tag a theology major, let's see them untangle this.

A working pastor in Kentucky sat down for an HBO documentary and told the camera, on the record, that if the Bible said 2 + 2 = 5, he would believe it and spend the rest of his life trying to work out how.

That is not a parody. That is not a mythicist's strawman. That is Pastor Peter LaRuffa of Grace Fellowship Church, on HBO's Questioning Darwin, 2014. The man is out here admitting that basic arithmetic loses to scripture every time.

What's the wildest thing a pastor told you to believe as a kid? Tag someone who grew up in this.

Nothing says "get the hell out of my temple" quite like Jesus flipping tables on a Tuesday afternoon. But if a doctor walked into their OR and found people running a poker game next to the anesthesia cart, this energy would be 100% justified.

The real question is: who had the audacity to set up a card table in the first place?

What is the wildest thing you have ever seen someone do where they absolutely should not have been doing it? Tag someone who would gamble in an operating room.
