Deciding what is right and wrong depends on the person.
Quote:God made the gruesome deaths and sad events a reality. Allowing for them to happen will make us question the limits of power and control he has.While you may choose to believe this, it's definitely not something that every believer believes in, nor is it a logical necessity of god, nor does this have to be true for there to be a god.
Quote:Believers who think he isn't responsible, just directed a slap to the concept of creation.I'm not sure why you would choose to believe that..but for many, a god that is not responsible for grizzly murders is, at least on that count, a just god. In any case, a "weak" god...is still a god.
A God who isn't responsible is a weak God.
Quote:But creating it and putting a huge mark of warning over it, is so different from making it happen.Okay?
Quote:Colt made guns. But it's serial killers who shot the child; not Colt.Sure, but in the case of many peoples beliefs, god isn't colt, in the analogy, so it's just not relevant to their god concept. God didn't make the guns, or shoot the people. There's certainly no requirement that god made the guns or shoot people in order to be a god..and just as before, none of what you've said has to be true for there to be a god. If a god exists, the just god of many peoples beliefs, who is not responsible for murders, who neither makes the guns nor shoots people...or even a "weak" god might exist.
Quote:Logically; it's wrong to think he is the cause. But at the same time; he created it; put it in his test; warned people from it.You'll have to unwind your own tangle on that one though, wouldn't you agree? Since it's your unique belief in some personal god that you're discussing? It's just not a problem for anyone who doesn't believe in the kind of god you believe in, and it's certainly not a problem for god, if a god exists.
