I think you are missing my point Dive.
I am well aware that sonhouse is an atheist, but when I read his posts, asking "where is God", he has a point.
For example: did the free will of Hitler outrank God's love for His people?
The common answer given is that God will sit back, in silence, while "the final solution" unfolded. Why? Because Hitler's free will was more important than the lives of millions of Jews?

Thank you Suzianne.
I'm not of course an authority on Christianity, nor have i ever claimed to be. My degree was 20 years ago and although i maintain an interest in the subject, i've lost most of the in depth knowledge I once had. (Though it does lie in some dusty boxes in the cellar).
Believe I have brought up my theology degree 3 times in the ...[text shortened]... fOne shares my lack of authority when it comes to Christianity, which of course is self evident.
Of course GoaD takes a cheap shot at chaney3 in trying to make it sound like he doesn't bring it up. GoaD claims that INVARIABLY it is chaney3 who mentions it.
The reality is that GoaD trots it out quite a bit. Here are 3 examples from just the past 2 MONTHS.
Note that it's to 3 people other than chaney3.
Also, note that with Nicksten he prefaces it with "As I have mentioned before..." and with sonship he prefaces it with "Again...", to make sure they understand that he's brought it up before.

Should we compare theology degrees?

Isn't GoaD a modest little thing. Of course, one would think that given the above, he wouldn't be trotting out his degree so often.
He claims that he's never claimed to be an authority, yet he repeatedly trots out his degree in attempt to confer authority on what he's saying.
Somehow he chose to lie about how often he does trot it out and his claim of authority. Imagine that.

Time well spent.
For one, as I already pointed out, in the earliest of the occasions that I cited, GoaD prefaces it with "As I have mentioned before...". Clearly GaoD is telling them that he has brought it up before.
Anticipating that GoaD would likely make yet another blatantly false claim, I didn't post all the examples I had found. Here's a couple more:

If GoaD remains true to form, the buffoonery will continue.

What part of an atheist having a degree in theology threatens you so much? Is it because you can't simply dismiss my arguments as ill considered?
The buffoonery will only recommence with the arrival of your next post. (I would delve into your own posting history but it is so crammed with vitriol and unpleasantness that it would ruin my evening).

Please link me to a solitary soul who has ever indicated they listen to what you have to say.

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeThe valid point here.
How we stand in awe at your copy and pasting skills.
Clearly we have identified the subject of your own degree.
Ghost has a degree in theology. Ghost is an atheist.
Ghost claims to have been an atheist 'before' studying theolgy and the Bible.
I disagree!!!
Ghost had an open mind during his studies. What happened?
Ghost disagreed with Bible sense.
If Ghost is a 'true atheist' because of Bible study, he should admit it. Why?
Because Ghost has repeatedly stated that he 'wants' to believe in God.
Maybe his God will not be the God of the Bible, but that may also be the opinion of many.
Originally posted by chaney3Disagree all you like sir. Not only was I an atheist before my studies, I was an atheist before starting primary school (Around the same time I stopped believing in Santa and the Hulk).

Although interested to learn about various religions, I didn't put my atheism in the refrigerator.
