> > Hy: you are simply assuming, to make a point here on the agnostic web site, that the angry, jealous, vindictive, dictatorial God of the Bible actually exists just as described therein, and now that that's firmly established--because "the Bible tells us so," we suppose--they who question it prove thereby that they are ignorant hypocrites laboring under silly notions. 
> -Let's put this in perspective. YOU started a thread talking about the OT God. YOU call him "angry, jealous, vindictive, dictatorial God of the Bible". YOU question why he killed people, and use that against him. That was a conversation YOU started. I simply responded to YOUR thread based on the criteria that YOU put into motion. -If YOU are going to start a thread about the Biblical God, why should I not respond using biblical sources? If YOU are going to criticize the Bible, why should I not question your knowledge of the bible based on the statements that you make? -If I were to start a thread on evolution and misused, misstated, or misrepresented the theory or relative science regarding it, you would point out my ignorance and attempt to educate me, as David, DHW, and others on this site have before about various topics. -You assume that God does not exist. DHW assumes nothing. David assumes that science provides the path to god, but assumes no deistic personality. I assume that the Bible offers some insight into god, as does as science. We all make assumptions. We are all ignorant. This entire website is devoted to speculation on things that we are ignorant of based on things that we do know.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
