So you think the jump from a flea awareness to human awareness is a lot bigger than the jump from human awareness to omniscience? We are self aware, that is fine, but omniscience is physically impossible to us, even more so than self awareness is impossible to a flea.

I don't know what it has to do with anything that you don't offer salvation to fleas.

Vulturesrow's objection makes perfect sense. No need to shoot down everything people say just because they are religious and you aren't.

How meaningless the idea of being created in God's image if all they meant is that we both have gall bladders.

Yes and how even more meaningless to say god is good if we have no idea what it means to be good. It just reduces to god is.

I buy that and he tells me that damning non-believers is very bad.

If you just mean stuff written in a book then you have no way of knowing what a good god wants you to do.
