As for why he mustn't allow for these things to happen? Well, if he want's to be a believable guy, he's going to have to do much, much better than leave the scene of the crime for over 2000 years and leave everyone else to defend him and his nonsense. If he really is the god he's cracked up to be, then he will come forward and eradicate those things which are harmful. If he really is a loving god, then he will come back and back up all the "loving" claims made on his behalf. He will show his face and not try to use his many minions to do his work.(March 31, 2015 at 2:26 pm)Judi Lynn Wrote: The belief system is intentionally designed so that "god" can be fickle. If you believe in this sort of thing, then ultimately, at the moment of your demise, your god can either decide whether or not you are in or out. You could have done everything right in your life and then had one slip up at the ripe old age of 89 and that ONE, singular incident banishes you to the arm pits of hell, forever. Yep, not a cray system I'll ever believe in.
I always come back to this: If god is THAT powerful then there should be 100% total happiness on earth. No starvation, no murders, no genocide, no wars, no earthquakes, no mudslides, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, no extinction of any kind of animals, no disease, no cancers. No, there wouldn't and shouldn't be any sort of misery here. But alas.... I digress.
That's your opinion, but why must that be true? Why must God not allow these things to happen?
