I do love life, and I do live a fulfilling one. But that doesn't mean that I am unable to point out the flaws in this world if pressed to do so by a person who believes its reasonable to conclude that it was divinely created. Your response to my criticism did not address my point. Instead, you redirected my criticism in an attempt to make me appear as a negative nancy. I think you know perfectly well that my criticism was not a description of my everyday outlook, it was directly in response to your previous question and it was perfectly suited. Would you like to apologize and go for a re-do?Quote:I see. Just the earth then? So, you live on this planet, you see how this place is an inherent death trap for us (radiation, viruses/disease, tidal disasters, earth quakes, shortage of natural resources etc.), and you dont see any problematic implications this for a belief that this place is the handy work of a loving and omniscient deity with us in mind at the focal point?
You guys talk about how the world is a cesspool, but then talk about how great your lives are as atheists. It never ceases to amaze me. You speak as if it's us christians who are not experiencing the fullness of life here because of our belief in God. Yes, I think that God can make a world like this, then accompany us on our journey here, and then take us home to him. We can have peace in this world.
