All we can see is an unbelievably tiny glimpse of a tiny part of it. Saying "well God cant exist because if He did He would do this and wouldnt do that, and it doesn't make sense that He'd do things this way, or allow that other thing to happen." I mean, how would we know? We can't see the big picture. How can we know what would or would not make sense?


This is what I'll never understand. How do you get from the recognition of our own inadequacy to see and know everything -> to the position of knowing that there is something you call God which can do so? There would seem to be lots of room between seeing and knowing more than we can to all, omni- everything? How can any human being know that? Of course you can all agree that the God you all worship is the ultimate, know-everything, mega/omni-most being of beings if you like. But it will always beg the question: how do you know any such thing exists? Well, you don't .. but you've decided to have faith on it.

I don't think xtians are any where near humble enough in the claims you make.

There are several reasons why I believe God exists, which I've talked about on these forums before. I could be wrong, of course, but I am of the strong opinion that He does exist.

What I was saying is that I think it's silly to say "A good God doesn't exist because if He did exist He would do this and that, and the world wouldn't be this way, etc".... because its like, how do we know things aren't as they should be because they make sense in the big picture when we're only experiencing a tiny piece of it?

Not believing in God is understandable. I just don't think what i describe above is a sensible argument against the possibility of a good God.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
