Gods plan is flawed as is the concept of god itself!

The difference is, mine is based on a logical observation and comparison of reality as compared to other peoples 'interpretations' of reality. I'm not saying you should believe me. That would suggest I'm trying to tell you what to believe. I'm saying that you should observe the world around you, then compare it to what I said. Smile

I do observe the world around me, which is why I find the notion of a deity who is "all-powerful, all-knowing and all-loving" to be impossible. A walk through the cancer ward of a children's hospital is enough to convince me of this.

Quote:You can have anything you want, but not if you pray for things you don't already have.

A blind person prays for sight. He remains blind. Kind of shoots down your statement.

Quote:Everything a person desires is actually within themself already. Usually by praying, they discover hey had it all along, and only lack it because they refuse to acknowledge it.

Sort of like how atheists deny having faith.

There are two types of faith; reasonable faith and blind faith. I have faith that, when I'm flying, the pilot will land the plane safely. This is reasonable faith because it is based on my knowledge that planes seldom crash and I know that pilots must be highly trained and experienced. Now, if some random guy was plucked from the passenger list, tossed behind the wheel and told to land the plane, I would have NO faith in him. If I did, that would be BLIND faith because there is no good reason I should expect him to be able to land the plane. Belief in a deity is completely blind because it is based on nothing. You can't compare the two.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
