Don't talk to me about going to other countries and doing my best to stop slavery, and rape, and all this stuff when your god is supposed to be omnipresent and omnipotent. Meaning he is literally watching these people suffer for things beyond their control, and doing nothing.
Did I say you were, no, you were the one who brought the human factor in with the parents and child, now you're going to have to deal with this aspect you brought into the conversation. It doesn't matter where you live in the world, sex slave trade with children is rampant every where. Stop blaming God, you do not believe He exist, it's up to those who believe religion is responsible for slavery to save the day, it's a human thing to do, right. The atheist here for the most part claim the moral high ground over Christians and God, yet you are showing you fail miserably by allowing something as terrible as this to go on. Do you believe God and Christians are running child sex slavery, this actually takes a breed of people who believe children as any humans are nothing more than animals, to be used as they please.
Quote:If you want to judge me for not donating to charities, or traveling the world, and all that stuff, that's fine. Maybe I'm not doing as much as I could. However, I did not supposedly create all those people. I do not demand that people worship me on pain of death or abandonment. Maybe I would be a better person if I gave some of my time and money to charities to help mitigate it little by little.
I'm not judging you, all I've do here is apply your requirements on you, or are you exempt from your own standards and requirements. Religion has nothing to do with this, it takes people who have lowered themselves to the level of animals to do such terrible acts.
Does giving money and time really mean anything unless one's heart is actually convicted, convicted to help stop it. If one's heart isn't convicted then what does that say about that person.
Quote:My point is this problem wouldn't exist if your god was real, and genuinely wanted it to stop. You're trying to paint me as a hypocrite. You think I'm less than your god, but I'm actually better by virtue that I can be proven to exist and don't kill or command the killing of people who put things in their lives before me. I don't feel the need to be the center of everyone's lives. That's how benevolent people think.
God wants it stopped, that's why you, me and all that care were created, this is a man made problem, God wants us to realize this and step up and fix this thing. Could God just kill all these evil people, yes, and then some would condemn Him for doing so, free will is our responsibility, to act is our choice, to care is our moral responsibility, unless we are more like those predators than we are human beings. For God to act and put this atrocity away would be to reveal Himself to man leaving no choice to anyone and that could bring terrible consequences to many.
I'm not trying to make you a hypocrite, that's not my intention, that's a though that you have brought to this conversation, not me.
I think all, no I know all people are far less than God, if we weren't he wouldn't be God.
You think that some of these children when they are used up and a burden to these animals are not dying, really. I don't think you could possibly be so naive. So with this reality, who is it that's condemning these children to death, the completely unmoral animals that couldn't care less, or those who claim the moral high ground, wouldn't that be the ones who believe in a morality. Without doing anything are you, whether it's a bother or what ever reason can be thought of, condemning those little ones to death because you're putting your life before there's. I am applying this to everyone who reads this, not just you. If anyone denies there responsibility they are can have no right to condemn God or anyone else!

When enough people care and decided to do something, they lift themselves above those who do this kind of terrible thing. Until then, are they any more moral than the animals that sell children for sex.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
