well, god creates horrific terminal diseases and gives them to little kids all the time. if a pedophile gave a little kid HIV we'd call him evil.
its all part of the plan though

muslims are even more dogmatic than the moron evangelists you see running around. i'd prefer having less of all religious frick tards tbh. no mosques, no churches, no temples.. sounds like a nice place to live.
it's easily the best tool to control people that was ever created

I would spend time to respond to this, but then I remembered you're one of the board's morons so I won't bother except say you don't know what you're talking about.

Thats kinda dumb. What do you not accept..that people are free to make their own decisions? Who makes your decisions for you? Are they all good, and if not do you blame others?

No it isn't. It's certainly convenient that your god is omnipotent and omnipresent...until he isn't.

"Accept" has nothing to do with it. We certainly make our own decisions. The difference between us is that I don't need to explain away my reasons or defend the actions of a mythical being.

Wait, are you saying he's not responsible for the 20% of recognized pregnancies that end in miscarriage, or the 50% of unrecognized ones that end in spontaneous abortion?

I think it's ridiculous to associate a Godhead with human agency and purpose, but that's just me. Those who doubt the existence of a deity due to human suffering are just a little too anthropocentric, IMO.

These questions are nonsensical in response to my post.

Only if done based on that alone...

There are plenty of reasonable things to cause doubt, I just don't think that's one of them. It's a very lazy dismissal.

Sorry, I thought I was posting in Parmen's other thread, "Life begins at conception."

It's certainly something that can, and should be considered.

At least in terms of Christian theology (and, to my knowledge, Buddhist as well), human suffering is very explainable, and does not contradict other understandings. Personally, my biggest doubts are from the scale of the universe and other likely intelligent species, but that only negates humanity's role, not the existence of something extra-universal.

It doesn't need to be a contradiction. There are plenty of contradictions available elsewhere in Christianity.
I'm speaking to the widespread interpretations most have of their god. Those don't reconcile with the reality of a fundamental view of Christianity. The hypocrisy is easy to point out, and it should be. Often.

That lacks any kind of insight and context. Being omnipotent and omnipresent does not equal omni-controlling. Free will. Thats the whole point and responsibility.
