So my sister is mentally challenged so that the work of god might be displayed? Displayed that he can make people mentally challenged? My sister can’t even grasp the things you are talking about

Sorry Peep, it is true, not just a belief. The evidence is in Scripture and all around you.
You BELIEVE it to be true. Doesn’t make it a fact.
An example of a fact is gravity.
It’s evidence because someone wrote it in a book? I bet CNN and WaPo are like gospel to you too.

God asked Abraham to sacrifice his own son. God knew Daniel was going into the Lion’s den. God knew in advance his only son would die a horrible death to save you and me
All extremely shitty things to do to someone.
While we are on the “Jesus” subject. Why in the frick would “god” need to send his “son” to be sacrificed to him to save us from him? That whole fricking story is absurd. Also, what was the “sacrifice” that Jesus really gave? How is it a “sacrifice” when you are raised from the dead 3 days later and ascend into heaven to be the next most powerful being in existence next to god? That’s not a sacrifice that’s a bad weekend.

I will tell you that in my situation, I am raising a daughter with Down Syndrome and disabilities separate from that which are all pretty big challenges. I would say that my relationship with her has taught me an incredible amount about my faith and God's love for me, as well. I don't think God chose to give her disabilities as a challenge or test for me and my wife or for my daughter, but there is no doubt that we have seen his grace, love, and provision for us through the past 11 years as we've dealt with everything that raising a disabled child brings with it. Again, though, I'm not saying others have to believe what I believe. I think there needs to be a lot more space for that here, though, where people of different viewpoints on faith and God and scripture can just say "Well, this is what I believe, and it's okay if you believe something different."

Your grandpa is a smart man. I’d take it one step further and ask “if god has no control over things that happen on earth, then why call it a god”.
Or the far more frightening thought. There is a god but it’s malevolent.
God IS in control, in that there is nothing that happens unless He allows it. People get angry with the very God whom they claim doesn't exist, because He doesn't stop them from doing evil things, or just dumb things.
Isn't that convenient for folks to do? You shake your fist at the very idea of God, but then you expect Him to live your life for you? He didn't put us here to be pawns in some cosmic game of chess. He only intervenes when we ask Him to help us, and then He will only do what He knows is best for us in the long run. Our minds are finite and cannot comprehend the foresight of Almighty God.
Understand this, my friend. God did not bring sin into this world. We did. And there is a price to be paid for that, otherwise He would not be a just God. But our suffering on Earth need only be temporary. If God hated us, we'd already be dead, with no hope for salvation. And we'd be deserving of such a fate. But He sent His Son to die for us, so that our sins could be forgiven and washed away, and we can live an eternal life with Him.
If you only see your eternity as the tiny blip on the radar that is your natural life, then you will miss out on everything that God has prepared for you, and you'll find that your existence after death is far worse than anything you could ever imagine. That does not have to happen to you. But it's your choice, and God will not make it for you. I pray you make the right choice.

Ugh. The dude is a kid. He picked a school. Great. It’s not proof of anything either way. It’s a kid just doing the best he can. Damn. Give him a break. He probably says what he’s pretty much is told to say at this point anyway and is probably going to frick it up about half the time...because he’s a kid.

I think you replied to the wrong person. I said nothing about Starks. It's hard to understand what his statement means, and I don't really know what to think of it.
Having illegal firearms is not a random kid mistake, however. It's a bit more serious. I hope he indeed learns from it.

Donte Starks releases another statement
Dude needs to get someone to edit that shite next time
Posted on 2/7/20 at 7:51 am to GeauxCali
What he doesn't seem to get is that LSU can go find 10 Donte Starks to fill out the roster.
Everyone is expendable.
Hopefully he gets away from the bad crowd he seems to be hanging out with, maybe that's easier said than done.

Hey y'all, if we can't handle Donte Starks at his worst, then we don't deserve him at his best.

Proof that god makes trees is required. Citation for your experimentations that prove this is required.

That’s a lovely story but the fact remains that you or anyone else have yet to demonstrate that a god exists. Religion (all of them, not just Christianity) has failed to meet its burden of proof.
