>Good and evil are not complementary essences
Separate they cease to exist through loss of identification.
Even christian Gnosticism isn't exempt from the problem of evil.

>It doesn't follow at all that an amoral God approves of all morals any more if follows that he disapproves of all morals. Such things as approval and disapproval hide value-judgements that an absolute being could not possibly share in.

I've already explained this in the thread, morals are finite sets of actions, power is the capacity to act and actions are proof of that power, an all powerful god is a god that enacts all actions thus and as a consequence all moralities. There is only 1 value judgement a creator god makes: to create. An absolutely moral god is without relativistic morals therefore relativistically amoral, unlike everything sentient in this world.
Your god is not amoral because there is a heaven and hell system in place, a bible and endless legions of denominations wielding huge amounts of wealth to proselytize. Your a fucking moron if you genuinely think your god is amoral because an amoral god would have never specified what is moral and what is immoral.

>Objectivity isn't truth, truth is being objective. Knowledge is power, so might makes right. You sound like some next-level esoteric SJW when you talk about truth.

Yes, a capacity for action is not proven until it is demonstrated, immanence of beING and doING.
Yes, knowledge is power, if you can't admit that then you're a liar.
Yes, might makes right, acting makes actions...can't get more obvious than.
What does esotericism have to do with supporting social justice?

>Finally you're just strawmanning like a baby; I never said that God was morally relativistic, but you took my words and flipped them on their head to make it seem like I had said the opposite of what I did.

i know you never said it and that's the problem, your god is morally relativistic because he acts according to his whims, the infinite power amoral god i speak of is a pantheistic one.

>In short, if I am deceitful, you are on another level of deceit that makes me look amateurish.

No i'm just presuming your deceitful because i can't experience the cognitive dissonance chrisitans go through when trying to expain the problem of evil.

Merely a response to modern Christians repeating ancient nonsensical answers.

I think this is the closest thing, besides a seizure, that humans can come to a 404 error
