Evidence God Exists: Part II

[tavarish]

So because it made more sense to you, that made it true?

For me, yes.

Awesome. At least you acknowledge that the basis of your belief is logically invalid.

Creationists also make this case - it's harder to study a field and learn about many intricacies of a subject than to just believe a guy talking about a holy book and say Magicmandunit.

It's also easier to say "There is nothing to this world here that I can't study with my human tools and my human mind" than to observe the world and say "Maybe there are things my human mind is just not big enough to comprehend."

And who's proposing that? Did anyone in this thread even hint at something so monumentally vapid?

And this, I'm afraid, comes from a very ingrained inability to accept or pin responsibility on yourself or those around you. God is loving and perfect, you don't seem to comprehend this. He created this world and He filled it with His children, and He gave His children options to take. The choices themselves are up to us.

Yes - you have a choice to believe in him or burn for eternity. Praise the all loving God who makes us sinful by nature and guilty from birth.

A loving diety that created the entire universe? He would know better than you do, actually. He would know what lessons the child could learn from that disease or that problem, and would not interfere when nature took it's natural course and strickened the child. No, God did not 'give' the child cancer, the child was just subjected to natural laws and ended up with cancer. Deal with the cards your dealt.

Either God intervenes or he doesn't. Make up your fucking mind. If he has the power to do so, why doesn't he do it? He sent his son to suffer for a day and die, but he allows us to suffer for years for the possibility of learning a life lesson? What kind of sadistic shit is that? That's like a person kidnapping a 10 year old girl and locking her in a basement for 10 years to teach her the importance of family. It makes no fucking sense.

Again, I know you don't believe, but think about it. If an all-powerful, perfectly loving God existed, He would know better than you. And He would be waiting for those thousands dead with open arms when their mortal bodies are shed and their souls go to Him. It is the sweetest kind of redemption for such a tragic end that I can think of.

Unfortunately, most of those people didn't accept Jesus into their hearts before they died. Woops! Off to hell they go. They might have a good view of how their children left behind are fighting for the scraps of food thrown to them by the vicious gangs that now run the streets, and eventually die from a combination of starvation and opportunistic infection from some archaic disease cured by medical science decades ago. God is great!

As for those homeless? They are lucky they still have a life to live and to breathe, so that they may have the opportunity to enjoy themselves in whatever way possible. You seem to forget there's an entire universe out there away from our societal constructs. Who's to say a man can't leave a disaster area all on his own and find a new home, somewhere far off, more at one with nature?

You know, like Buddha...?

What the fuck? Do you understand how poverty works? People aren't homeless because they just don't want to be anything in life, there are MANY more factors in it than that. You can want many things in life, but not all opportunities present themselves in all situations. There are many instances where a person is literally trapped with zero options.

Do you even know what a Buddha is?

Again, see the first answer about cancer.

Which was preachy bullshit. Next time don't try to justify kids getting cancer with "God's lesson plan".

I disagree whole-heartedly. It is man and nature which makes no sense sometimes.

Killing kids cause their parents didn't paint lamb's blood on their door makes perfect sense.
