Does it mean god caused the flood? Floods are things natural in this world and Floods can occur because of humans who dont maintain a dam correctly am i right? So who would be to blame the man who owns the dam or the man who built it? I wonder.123625
Theoretically speaking, God knew that the dam would break, right? He let it happen when he could help. Why doesn't he help more? Sure, we praise him excessively when miracles happen, but when a disaster happens, you can't blame him? Why do we praise him then? Can't we take the credit since we also take the blame as well?

[QUOTE="Elraptor"][QUOTE="123625"]Can you call god evil for giving us free will? For giving us the ability to choose whether we beleive in him or not? Is it evil to give free will? Just cause some one does something bad doesnt make god evil it makes the person who did it bad. 123625

It probably does make that person bad, but even so, God too may be held responsible. After all, an omnipotent God could snuff out evil. The fact that free will is impossible in the absence of evil does not automatically exculpate God. Besides, to make that claim is to suggest that free will is more desirable than absolute good. Is that what you're saying?

You saying you dont want free will?

He gave us free will. Great, thanks. Now could he stop with all the bad stuff, like floods and such?

God doesn't do that, SIN does. man does it. Why don't you step up and take RESPONSIBILITY for ur sin. and stop blame god for ur sin.

Sin can't control the weather (as it is not a conscious being), God can. And has. And has killed innocents for the crimes of others.

Who are you to say all of the people were innocent? Innocent means guiltless. Plus its weather god can control if he wants to, but that doesnt mean he controls it all the time, does it? You seem to forget all the good weather can bring.

I'm pretty sure that the many infants he undoubtedly killed in a certain flood were all guiltless.

Does it mean god caused the flood? Floods are things natural in this world and Floods can occur because of humans who dont maintain a dam correctly am i right? So who would be to blame the man who owns the dam or the man who built it? I wonder.

I doubt any dam can cause a flood that covers the whole world leaving only the tip of Mt. Everest exposed.

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="123625"]Read my earlier comment.123625

Which one explains why he doesn't spread the killing around?

You were saying about the africans and why they are suffering ive answered it. And i hate to see when people blame god for killing i really do. Its not his fault its the person who killed.

You said it was our fault for not helping the Africans. So why is he killing them and not us?

Explain to me how HE Directly is killing the people?

He's not, but explain why a good person with the power to stop such tragedies doesn't do so.

Man does not create floods because of sin or at all. That really doesn't make sense at all.

So your saying god needs to come down and fix all our problems because we are weak human beings? If god comes down for all the big problems he would in turn have to come down for all the little problems no?

And the many infants in the tenth plague, I'm willing to bet.

God is not evil. Its mans fault, that we are in our state *Garden of Eden* Look people say that God knew we would eat the fruit, but God works in mysterious ways. Personally I think people who lived on Earth and went to heaven have it better then if Adam and Eve did not eat the fruit.

They see God stopping murder and think, "hmm, murder is impossible, I won't bother". They'd also see that God actually does things too, which would shock most people, because as far as I can tell, he just sits back and enjoys the show.

Because they have free will and its their choice. They can do whatever they want with there money. And if the rich person gave away money to one thing would he not be expected to give away money to all disasters?

Which person is the most evil... the person who kills someone... or the person who sees the murder and doesn't do anything to stop it?

The person who muders though will get punished they dont get off scott free. So by your saying God should come down and stop murder where ever it happens am i right? Then how in the world would people learn?

I'm sure people would notice that right before a crime is committed, the person about to commit the crime gets electrocuted. It will be an even better way of learning since the punishment is instantaneous and the victim is unharmed.

this reminds me of descartes. he thought to himself, what if there is an all powerful deity that is evil? maybe he just likes watching us stumble around suffering and killing each other for his own amusement? however, if he is omnipotent, then he wouldnt need to be entertained. this would be a form of weakness and is, therefore, not conistent with an omnipotent being.

God loves all. People die and kill because God gave us FREE WILL. Free will to create life and take it. Free will lets us do whatever on earth we want to do....but we will have to pay the consequences in the end. Free will is the most wonderful gift God gave us next to life....but it can be used to create the most god awful horrors as well.

God gave me my sin, actually. He invented everything and thus invented sin. Also, why is he picking on the Africans? Can't he spread the killing around to those who deserve it?

thats the devil telling you all this. so I'm know thre truth and I have told you the truth. its time for you to wake up. god have never kill anyone. man has.In africa, they do not worship god, (I'm not talking all of them)

If you sin you block urself from god. but when you ask for forgiveness god will listen and bless you.

So say you pray to god but you have sinned before you prayed, god will not listen, you must ask forgiveness and god will bless you. read the bible. Stop letting the devil block ur mind. god loves us all. All that is bad is because of sin.

What about children who get molested or murdered? God knows the murderer/molester will commit those atrocities, why doesn't he stop them before the child is put through something like that?

Also, some of the quote chains are getting very long. You guys should start trimming them before you get moderated.

He must enjoy it since I'm not a smoking pile of ash in my college dorm room, nor is the man who is about to shoot or stab or infect someone... That only leads me to one conclusion... God enjoys evil. If we can see the judgement of God wouldn't that be a more effective learning tool than watching God's creation destroy each other for his amusement?

He's not, but explain why a good person with the power to stop such tragedies doesn't do so.

Because they have free will and its their choice. They can do whatever they want with there money. And if the rich person gave away money to one thing would he not be expected to give away money to all disasters?

So God will stop letting totally innocent people die when we have perfect worldwide communism?

There goes the term Innocent who exactly is defined as innocent in gods eyes i ask you?

Everyone deep down believes in God. Or see him through his beautiful nature or something, also the people in Noahs preflood time were really evil. Like Sodom and Gommorah. I don't know if it was evil like that all the time.

They see God stopping murder and think, "hmm, murder is impossible, I won't bother". They'd also see that God actually does things too, which would shock most people, because as far as I can tell, he just sits back and enjoys the show.

You really think he enjoys watching his creations mock him? and do you think he enjoys watching us murder? People who murder will eventually get punished for their crimes either in this life or the next. God shouldnt need to come down from heaven and stop us each time we make a mistake. how would we learn?

He should do. He knew this'd happen. It's his own show that he created at the very beginning and now he's watching it all unfold, knowing what'll happen at every moment. If he actually did things, we'd see notice and believe in what he says.

He's evil then. Allowing people to die just because the don't believe in something that required such a huge amount of faith is completely evil. Also, God does kill. He killed everyone but Noah in a flood.

wow, I'll pray for you. the devil is talking thu ur mouth. you are spitting out lies. I'm done with this. I have told you the truth. its time for you to live by it. I can do no more then tell you the truth. good night

If you sin you block urself from god. but when you ask for forgiveness god will listen and bless you.

So say you pray to god but you have sinned before you prayed, god will not listen, you must ask forgiveness and god will bless you. read the bible. Stop letting the devil block ur mind. god loves us all. All that is bad is because of sin.

Umm that we look like God? God is not evil, evil is not a quality from God. Meh___Guy
if one had power to save the lives of millions of humans and did nothing, wouldn't that be considered evil? We called Hitler a monster for ending the lives of just 16million. Imagine if someone could prevent all death and suffering but didn't. That gets my vote for evil ******* of the year.

And if we are created in God's image, what does that say about him?

Umm that we look like God? God is not evil, evil is not a quality from God.

But God created the snake that tempted Eve.

Well lucifer wasn't always bad, I mean he fell away from God too. He did not created lucifer to be evil. Also God died on the cross for us, I mean he suffered more then us anyways. *well maybe some humans died in a worse way I don't know* But I think Jesus probably died in a worse way, especially emotionally.

[QUOTE="LoG-Sacrament"]this reminds me of descartes. he thought to himself, what if there is an all powerful deity that is evil? maybe he just likes watching us stumble around suffering and killing each other for his own amusement? however, if he is omnipotent, then he wouldnt need to be entertained. this would be a form of weakness and is, therefore, not conistent with an omnipotent being. MattUD1
Don't forget Marcion, a Roman heretic.

i read your prior post and more on wiki about marcion and none of it seemed to address my post. care to explain(wiki usually isnt the most in depth source)?

There is no point in learning a lesson if it's too late to apply it.

what you just said:|, like i have no words to argue that comment its just.... So what your saying is that we should not do anything and not learn anything?

There goes the term Innocent who exactly is defined as innocent in gods eyes i ask you?123625
No one I guess. Apparently, we're all bad from the moment we're born, forever to live in a state of fear, knowing that almost everything we do will require us to grovel before him in the hope of not burning in hell for all eternity.

What makes you think he doesn't do "things" anyway? For all you know, you could be dead right now if God hadn't saved your life from a random event. What was the random event? You will never know.

No, I'm saying he should be enjoying it because he intended it. He gave me free will, and I'm using it. Was I not supposed to? Just tell me why he does absolutely nothing. We'd all start listening if he started doing things.

Yes, but I think that he allowed it, but didn't make it happen. I mean I think its better off living a hard life for God then going to heaven, your relationship with him should be much closer.

Don't forget Marcion, a Roman heretic.

i read your prior post and more on wiki about marcion and none of it seemed to address my post. care to explain(wiki usually isnt the most in depth source)?

I'll actually quote from a book that explains it better than I can...

"Eighteen hundred years ago in the city of Rome, an influential Christian heretic named Marcon took a look at the world around him and drew a conclusion: The god who created our cosmos couldn't possibly be good. The universe was shot through with appalling threads - violence, slaughter, sickness, and pain. These evils were the Creator's handiwork. Surely he must be some perversely sadistic force, one who should be banished from influence over the minds of men (1)" The (1) indicates a note and in the note there are multiple references.

I will admit the book doesn't go into detail about how God can't be omni-whatever... just that the Creator is inherently evil.
