A question about the love of god
#1
A question about the love of god
For those of you that kids here, do you tell them about germs that can make you sick? NY mother certainly did and I suspect all responsible parents do. Since most parents do this because they love their children and what the best for them and god apparently thinks of us as his children how come he failed to tell us germs that cause diseases?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

There is meaning in the infliction of vile diarrhea upon the wicked if it is attributed to God doing it for cause rather than a random microbe.

Kind of a lemons to lemonade situation for the ruling elite.

Here we go again, playing on emotions of people about children.

where do we have to believe a "child" life is more or less important to the rest of us. Infarct, I would that's stupid because the first to die are the very young and old. So what does this god tell them? Get over yourself?

No genius Im referring to the fact that before the discovery of germ theory a large portion of children didn't live to the age of 2 and that all god had to do to alleviate this was tell us something that every decent parent tells a 2 year old. Basic fucking reasoning. Now please highlight where I said the lives of children are more important.

How do you know He didn't?

Don't see it in the Bible. Don't notice any other religion that did. Maybe he whispered it to a select few?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Wow. The point went so far over your head, the wind of it's passing didn't even muss your hair.

And they failed to tell anyone else. The got the bits about jeebus cursing the fig tree and kept the later addition about jeebus saying "let he who is without sin" but the important shit that actually helps people live better. Nope. Forgot to pass that along. Dodgy

Wow for someone that is fond of quoting luke I'd thought you. Would know that Jesus said demons caused disease.

RE: A question about the love of god
We'll think about it if I explained something very complex and in great detail to you and it was the first time you heard anything of the subject, how much of it could you relay in such away as to retain the technical points being discussed?

Then you would have to ask to whom was God speaking to? Was he to ignore 4000 years of human history, for the sake of the few hundred years of people?

What makes more sense? A detailed description that impacts the last generations of warnings and laws that everyone could benefit from?
