You, sir or madam, are a god/goddess. Clearly the atheists are all wrong.  (March 7, 2014 at 11:57 pm)Esquilax Wrote:(March 7, 2014 at 10:51 pm)Miss Meng Wrote: Oh, come off it.

I bet you're the same kind of uptight person that has an issue with this kind of job competency. ![[Image: j0yzdi.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i60.tinypic.com%2Fj0yzdi.jpg) As long as we know what he meant we should be able to muddle through.

It's a problem because you only live this life once, and instead of picking fault with it, you should enjoy and relish it. I thought that much was obvious. ~ Miss Meng Avoids an urge to pick some fluff off her dress. Picky.

That'd be a much easier prospect without all the aches, pains, and fatalities that come along with the faults in our bodies, that an intelligent designer could easily have fixed. That's sort of the point.

We're about right.  ~ Miss Meng Watches Esquilax with a patient smile.

Meng, have you even read my op?
I agree that nothing is perfect, but some of these design flaws..... a 5 year old could design a better system. Don't you think that an all powerful, all knowing god could create a respiratory and digestive system that wouldn't result in thousands of people choking to death every year? And if he could, then why didn't he? The only conclusion I can think of is: he likes to see people die, which makes him evil. Or he can do nothing to stop it, which makes him impotent.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech |
