(June 17, 2015 at 8:48 pm)Spacetime Wrote:Theorectically if a person is a good Christian and true believer he wouldn't expect his favorite ethnocentric deity to feed starving children. He would take steps to feed the starving children himself as stated in the fairy tale. If you know there's a need and if you don't take steps to fill that need how can you expect mercy from your deity when you never followed his commandments about feeding and clothing the needy as stated in Matthew 25:42-46?
One last point; one week ago, I reached out to probably one of the most learned men in the field of theology in the United States, hoping he would respond so that I could ask him to explain theodicy to me like a 3rd grader. Just 1 hour ago, I got his reply. I hadn't yet asked him to present his argument for his views on theodicy, but he replied and the opportunity is there. Part of me wants to abandon it, and another part of me wants to ask him outright... "Why does our personal God sit idle when children smaller than my own are starving to death? Why, when we know He can, did God not write down the ultimate guide to human understanding? If his insight is so infinite why, then, did he leave us a book that compounds the complexities of the practice of worshiping Him." The latter part of me is screaming, "too late, motherf*cker... if you had it, you would have presented it on YouTube."
