>He thinks that reading a fucking book is going to fundamentally change who he is

Books are perfectly capable of inspiring people to radically change the way they live. For example, pic related.

[ERROR]

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them

1. god exists, therefore theistic
2. god is active, therefor non-deistic
3. christ was god, therefore christian
4. sola scriptura is intellectually untenable, therefore orthodox or catholic
5. primacy of peter, therefore catholic.

was my line of reasoning.

What is the nature of God, /lit/? What is his place in human society?

And I expect something a little more sophisticated out of you guys than the /b/ level "God can't exist because it's illogical!" crap.
