What constitutes "sentience"?

[Kidlicious]

I think he's saying that whatever God does is good because God is very powerful. But that sounds stupid when you say it plainly, so you need to dress it up in lots of poetic language for it to make sense.

Why is it hard for you to understand that power is justice?

I think Socrates had trouble understanding that too

I am thankful that you believe in a god who will punish you for committing rape and murder

[Kidlicious]

Jesus paid the price.

[loinburger]

That was possibly the worst response you could have given

loin: I'm glad that your belief in god will help prevent you from acting like an immoral ****bag

Let's say you're a dictator of a central european country and you believe God wants you to kill off a minority group. Do you:
