Faith is a measure of irrationality

[ronedee]

What's stopping God from helping them? Why put the responsibility on puny humans instead of on an almighty being like God?

It's more fundamental than even that. If God decided to work just through humans, fair enough. What grinds my gears is when it's assumed that God will intervene directly in SOME prayers, the ones which we make for Love or a new ipad, but not others. He'll bring us good things, but not them.

It's the Inconsistency.

You're not factoring in the people that don't want His help!

You have to step back and "try" to understand. But you also need some real desire to actually know, and understand.

So, why would God want to answer them if they don't care? Where is His desire to proof something here?

I can't tell you how many times here... that the debate has come down to whether an atheist really wanted to know God, or not. Most times its not! Because they hate Him, for all the bad things that happened in "my life." One person here actually told me that she stopped believing when her mother died of cancer. News alert: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Is that what God hinges on? Someone dying of cancer? A baby straving in Africa? We have the power to eradicate all the troubles in the world.... but its easier to sit back and blame God! The One who gave us life to begin with.... the One who promises us eternal life, in a place we can't ever imagine! And to be like Him!

No! He is just supposed to hand us everything! Spoon feed us for eternity! Where is the give and take? The worthiness? The FAITH?

I'll let you in on something.... Until you proclaim your Faith in Him, you won't move a step towards understanding what He is all about. And no amount of "me", or anyone else trying to explain "our" experiences to you will do anything more than frustrate you!

You can discredit God in all the good things in my life.... but you (ALL) look as foolish to me as I look to you.
