What does an atheist...

RE: What does an atheist...

It is a lot more complex than that, for example if it was intentional murder i would never forgive them and see no reason why i should, if it was manslaughter, meaning unintentional loss of life then i could forgive them. If it was negligence then i don't know where i would stand, i may or may not be able to forgive them - but it would depend on the fine details.

Quote:I believe God heps everyone, it's whether the individual can accept that help is what's in question. I can never truly know what God's love is because it is unknowable, maybe it is indifferent. difference supposes choice and eludes to accepting he's sentient which I can neither prove nor is it relevant.

God helps everyone? How so?

Quote:You're going to have to go deeper into this and relate it to cause and effect for me I need time to ingest and rest.

Take Radioactive decay for a good example. Radioactive decay is the known uncaused effect in the universe, that is to say it has no cause, only a completely random process that at any time could take place causing the nucleus of an atom to decay emitting ionized particles and radiation - These completely random events accumulated over time disrupt the usual flow of cause and effect by means of obstruction. It would most likely be possible without Radioactive decay and other types of quantum indeterminacy to rerun the big bang over and over and obtain the exact same result each time, but with a truly random process you can never expect the same results and while it seems likely that the universe would be very similar each time you ran it, certain atomic interactions or even entire chains of interactions would be prevented - or caused - by this random decay leading to a differences between what would otherwise be exact replica universes. It should be noted that while you can not ever predict when a single atom will decay you can take large groups of atoms and have a remarkably accurate predicted average.
