Quote:Natural disasters are not evil in themselves.
Good and evil are only concepts.
Quote:Death occurs due to our sin, it's a punishment because we all sin.
Death is the end of biological function. Tis not a punishment. It's called "nature".
Quote:God has a hope that I will do the right thing, if you want to call that a plan.
There is no evidence to suggest that god exists. Also further note, existance of all we know is not evidence for his existance.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

All great and valid points Ace but to argue with this one you have to bring yourself down to a moronic level and assume his bible is true. He sounds like a drone to me, do you think he is a borg?

After reading a few of his posts. I think it's safe to say he has created his own little bubble. Where everything was "created" and has some purpose to it.
Sheer lack of education. When people don't know how or why, they always jump right back to god for the answer.

Not necessarily... sometimes we just take the answer as unknown and leave it at that
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word

Very true.
Kinda like the sexual positions I have in my mind. Not sure if there possible. So don't know till I try it.

I agree, but that's not the point. I don't think anything is innately evil, not people, or hurricanes, disease, etc... It's a term we use to describe acts that are harmful to people, and is not necessarily caused by people making bad decisions.
If you don't believe me, consult a dictionary.

God allows it to rain on the righteous and the unrighteous conversely he also allows the sun to shine on the righteous and unrighteous.
So a child born in Africa who, through no choice of his own, dies from hunger because there just isn't enough food for people.
You think that child deserves that? From your words above, that's exactly what you're saying.

You'd probably wouldn't want to know. I'm a very naughty bugger. If only you saw my dailymotion account favourites.
*hint* (type in Ace Otana to find me account) *End of hint*
Now because this is going way off topic...
The piper, can you provide actual evidence for your god? What you consider evidence is not evidence. So I shall await your responce.

These last few posts all he has done is quote the bible in a subtle way. He is just putting some bible phrases into his own words. That is what sheeple do when they don't have a mind of their own.

I have a question...Does anyone actually read those bible verses? Personally they are touching me on a very spiritual level.
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: ....I love to laugh. Hi.
Grandmother: Hi.
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: Guess what? You are a GMILF. That is a grandmother I'd like to fuck
