How can you guys keep asking me the same question yet expect a different answer.

Because we are constantly hoping that you are able to reclaim your moral compass, and give up your immoral religion.

Quote:9 million or 9 billion starving babies in Africa is not a God problem it is a man problem especially when this country and others like it in the west are paying it's farmers NOT to plant crops in order to keep corn wheat soy ect prices at a stable profitable rate. God has tasked the wealthy to feed the poor, Now if there is a world wide famine and everyone is starving then it becomes a God problem. As it is He has simply entrusted one group with resources and the infrastructure to distribute the wealth. and granted even you 'good people' have taken up that mandate to a degree. If people starve in this time of plenty it is not God who starves them sport. it's people like you who bitches about starving babies and  but otherwise does nothing to alleviate the suffering. Cause if they did they'd know what makes this current group of people 'difficult' to help. Which even a maligned self righteous prick could see this again would not be a God thing but a man made barrier.


Okay, for arguments sake, I'll temporarily concede that the mass starvations are a man made problem. That still would not let your god off the hook for non man made problems that are out of our control. Like the Indonesian tsunami or the Japanese tsunami.

Quote:The Indonesian tsunami of 2004 took 250,000 people of all ages, and your god sits back and lets that many children under 5 die every 1.5 weeks.

Quote:Are you stupid or sumthin?
Death is not our end, but our birth into eternity. Only those who have no eternal future see death as an evil or bad thing. So why would I could it against God that one or Everyone dies in this life? Death is your scarry evil measure not mine.

Ah, so this life is just a place where we wipe our feet for 7 or 8 decades while waiting for the real thing to begin. Makes one wonder why we have this life at all? Doesn't make you wonder, of course, I mean it makes someone with a bit if critical thinking skills and rationality wonder.

Yes, when people die before they would need to, it is immoral for humans to let it happen. If their life is shortened by a tsunami, when a god could have prevented it, then that god is immoral.

Quote:That you believe that your your god is good by making sure your loan went through and you got your property, yet sits back and lets children die in vast numbers without doing a thing, just shows how your religion has caused you to lose your moral compass.

Quote:I would rather see those children die than live and suffer and then (Because they are indeed muslim) be taught that lazy people like you sat on mountains of food, and the farmers were even PAID NOT grow crops so as to keep the price high, then turn and fight us as ISIS or something worse.

You have no idea how much money and time I donate.

I have never claimed that human behavior hasn't made the situation worse.

Quote:That's the thing between us sport I don't see us all as basically 'good' and even though children are innocent by any measure they do not remain children. they quickly (10 to 13) in those areas are use to fight very real and adult conflicts.

So, it is okay for all of the innocent children to die of starvation, because some of them may end up to be soldiers?

Quote:So if an all loving God (To Children as they know no sin) can scoop them up and take them home or plug them into families that can better take care of them... then yes I'm for death over life of starvation and then indoctrination... It's almost like you guys aren't programmed to think past the word children or childhood, let alone have any common sense programmed for what the over all Good of a given bad situation wold be.

Too bad a god with the attributes that you believe yours has, would be able, if he was moral, to mitigate the bad situation. Not sure how you think this helps defending your immoral god.  

Quote:A god that would act like this, deserves to be fought against by every moral man and woman on the planet.

[/quote]Your right. If 'morality' makes you greater than God I think God/God's people should fight against the sinful stain of 'morality.'/quote]

I can tell you, I am more moral than the god that is depicted in the Bible.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
