Ignoring god's prophets - like Muhammad, J. Smith and many others - and their teachings is your will. So have fun in islamic hell - or whatever - in case you bet on the wrong bullsh*t. You'll be lucky if LDS are the right religion - they don't believe in hell. You'll just wait in some sort of "limbo", until the mormons posthumously baptize you. As they do...

Is god limited by laws of physics, or something? If your god can't create an infinitely perfect world - he's BY DEFINITION not omnipotent.

Who sets the limitations, by which your - allegedly omnipotent - god is bound? Wouldn't that be the REAL god? Are you a slave to the celestial Number Two (at best)?

And in case you're wondering - your references from a book of fiction, created by primitive goat-f*ckers thousands of years ago, don't count as arguments and only impress people already indoctrinated. As far as I'm concerned - and I suspect I'm not the only one - you might as well be quoting Aesop's fables...

  The Christian church is trying to help people who need clean water, it's why we were put here. What are you doing for them ?

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.

Christians are cleaning up after God's mess huh?

Maybe they should tell "God" to go fuck his nonexistent self, and then they can still do charity out of simple compassion alone.

GC, the point is if God exists he is allowing this shit, and is therefore a cunt.

  It's not me with a problem, I know my destination in God's eternity. If you know yours and it's not what mine is you need to sit down and find out what's going to happen to you.

 Then you're saying it's fine with you for God to control your entire life, no freedom, no decisions, just be a puppet dancing to another's tune.

Are you saying that this is what Heaven and Earth would have been like if Satan and Adam and Eve never "fell"?

No I was never saying that.

RE: Epicurus riddle.
Holy shit, if anyone thinks this is the best of all possible worlds, they must have no imagination. I did a thread before how my imagination is apparently more powerful than God. And assuming he gave it to me knowing I could imagine a far better world very easily, and knowing it was beyond his power to ever deliver it, implies unbelievable cruelty.

Any way you cut it, God is a limp dick or a big nob. Apologetics just makes him seem worse and worse. You're trying to sell me a vacuum cleaner by explaining that it's actually a good thing that is blows not sucks.
