Christianity and morals

RE: Christianity and morals
(June 3, 2013 at 4:20 pm)meak Wrote: Only because the questions are light and you can find some reference for it. Just a fun exercise: Try explaining these questions without saying the words "Gods Plan" or "Faith"...
1-Why did Jesus never write anything?
2-Why do bad things happen to good people who are super-religious?
3-How old was Mary when she had Jesus?
4-If human's were made in God's image, then does God have any of the following: nose, teeth, lungs, nipples, penis? And what would he use them for? What color is his skin?
5-Do the mentally ill have free will and why did God make them that way?
6-Why was not a single mention or word EVER written about Jesus by anyone who was alive at any time during Jesus' supposed life-time?
7-Why does God like some people in Oklahoma and not others?

1- Why would He need to when the gospels were going to be written not too long after?

2- We live in a fallen world. Not to mention, trials make us stronger (James 1) whether you are religious or not, you should know that. At its base, you are appealing to the PoE. Which, of course, is not a very good argument.

3- Why does it matter?

4- This is a silly question. Humans being made in God's image has nothing to do with physical attributes. God is immaterial.

5- I don't know. I'm not omniscient (yes, "I don't know" is a proper answer).

6- An argument from silence is not a very good argument. You have to explain away: the gospels, mentions of Jesus by Josephus, Tactitus and other secular historians from the late 1st century, why Christian communities started to spread like wildfire from AD 33-50 (if Jesus wasn't a real man, and the gospels weren't written yet, then this seems highly unlikely), why the disciples would die for a myth, Paul's writings (especially 1 Corinth 15), and historical circumstances contemporaneous with Jesus’ public ministry... Just to name a few.

7- You are begging the question. The Bible makes it clear that we are all loved equally by God.

Never used the words "God's plan" or "faith." I win.

All generalizations are false.
