OK Christians. your chance. Convince me of God.

Why does he sometimes make that 'birth' excessively painful and demeaning, when suffering is not a necessary part of dying?

Quote:]Again and Again. 'Morality' is a crap standard of man's own self righteousness. It means nothing unless one lives in a very specific soceity in at very specific time. a few hundred miles one way or another or a decade or so sooner or later and morality changes.

I agree entirely, 'morality' is a crap standard of man's own self-righteousness... and God isn't good enough to meet it.

Quote:I was a Child who suffered a great deal and as an adult would not change or trade one instance of suffering for everything I want now. 'Suffering' is also a matter of perspective. To those who endure great suffering, it is just life or the acceptance of death. It is to those who see it and do nothing that can not abid 'others' inactivity in the face of it. It seems one's conscience can only abid one persons complacncy, but not anothers.

Suffer all you want then, for your God. Leave me, and my loved ones, out of it.

Quote:Funny that you say that. For God says something similar. "Judge not lest ye be judge according to the same measure you have used on others." In that passage Christ directs this warning about judging your neighbor, but I am sure the standard applies to your judgement of God. For instance if you can not abid a God who see a needs, but fails to help some suffering kid, (iyo) then how can God abid you for ignoring that same Kid? After all He put the need of that Child on your heart and placed you in a position to do something (even though you may have convnced yourself that you can do nothing)

I would save a kid if I had the capacity and proximity to do it. I would never choose not to. I suspect most would not.

God allegedly has the ability to do this (and everything else) but frequently, willfully, refuses to do it.

Quote:Can you measure up to your own 'morality?' The same morality you presume to judge God against?

Of course, I don't.

But, unlike Yahweh, I don't presume to be perfect.
