Article Excerpt:

A few week ago, I edited and reposted old posts examining two statements sometimes used as rebuttals in theological discussions about God. The two statements are

    * You’re making God the author of sin.
    * You can’t put God in a box like that.

There’s one more post in the series and now I’ve redone it, too.

What is the third argument? I call it the green eggs and ham argument. It goes something like this: “I could not worship a God who would _____.” Another version of this same objection is, “The God I worship would not _____.” Either statement is completed with whatever it is the other person in the discussion has been saying God does. What this rebuttal does is suggest that what the other person has been saying about God is in error because a God who acts that way would be unworthy of worship.
