We all done with this moron yet?

I like the fact it’s offended by the slutty picture. And by eating meat. Let the hilarity commence.

One moron hammering in the massive headache of two, I suspect.

Shit happens, then you die. The trick is to make the most of it while you can because there's no good reason to believe there's anything more. Wasting your life dreaming about a fantasy world of gumdrops and unicorns after death is just sad.

Quote:Why would a god make it thus?
93% of the world believes in God. See for yourself 73 cited scholarly sources. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism

Actually that article does not say that.
It is also utterly ridiculous to assume that Muslims worship the same gods as Christians do.

This one seems to be a bit untethered to the truth.
Goodnight

But that process does not meet YOUR definition, now does it. Woops. 
A "process" takes time. 
How can there be a process when space-time does not exist yet. 

Theology claims God exists in a "timeless" environment, yet constantly defies that by ascribing temporal acts to your god. It's meaningless tripe.  
Intelligence and consciousness REQUIRE time to function. If your god has ALWAYS been conscious and intelligent where did the environment come from in which it MUST operate ? It couldn't have created it, if it needs it. 

Oh well. 
Just another below-standard troll. 
When will they send in a good one ? 
We had one, (only one) once on TTA.

Science validly attempts to discover the "how" (ie what the process WAS), (not why) of how things came to be in their present state.
No one gives a shit about "why". Science wants to know "how".
I think there's a Clue Store somewhere. Perhaps you could buy one there.

OMG. There *is* a Clue Store.
Maybe there's hope for her.

....... nah ...... never mind.

No force of nature cares in the slightest about anything. Species that don't evolve sufficient survival mechanisms go extinct. I'm sorry that you can't face existence without your security blanket but the universe can be a cold, harsh place. Grow the fuck up.

Been a whole bunch of that on the boards today.  Folks putting entirely too much stock in their own existential dread.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What explanation do you have for pain and suffering in the world?

The obvious explanation is that it's not all about individuals.
Individualism arose in the West (as a concept) at a specific time.
It can be traced. Since you can't even read an article and get what it's talking about correct,
I suspect you have very little education.

Evolution is not about individuals. It's about species survival.
In that context, pain and suffering is what it is.
The universe doesn't give a rip about individuals.

In tribal cultures, individuals also don't matter. Which is why in the Bible, personal immortality did not exist until after the
rise of individualism. In tribal cultures, only the tribe matters ... not individuals.

Religion / theism has no answer to the problem of theodicy.

No force of nature cares in the slightest about anything.  Species that don't evolve sufficient survival mechanisms go extinct.  I'm sorry that you can't face existence without your security blanket but the universe can be a cold, harsh place.  Grow the fuck up.
Why would we have a sex drive and want to procreate? Just for no reason?
