Do you hate it when people say god ain't responsible for evil?
Here's a little scenario of me being god:
If I were omnipotent, i certainly wouldn't allow famines, holocausts and wars to happen, otherwise i wouldn't be benevolent. Well, anyways, since i'm so omnipotent, why not leave it up to humans to solve these problems? Oh sure i'll just sacrifice tons of poor souls to suffer for those incompetent little creatures to finally get around to saving them in several nevers. They've been doing such a fine job of it, so why not?
And of course, it doesnt matter if they die :) since life on earth doesn't matter! It's heaven you dear christians are goin' to. Those North Koreans dyin' by the truckload from executions/starvation would just go to hell too since they don't believe in me. Or even heard of me for that matter.
WHAT? Discontinue all the funds that go to religion? What for??? Sonny Christ, of course building monuments and chapels to worship me is far more important than helping the cancer-ridden and starvin' africans! And btw, a part of those funds do go to the salvation army! like.. err... 5%?
Besides, these churches are fundamentally pivotal to the running of the world. It's hardly armchair ratiocination that providing people seeking pusillanimous solace and self-reassurance in the purported heaven/after life is far more important than the people who are about to lose their lives!
As for gay people, it must've have been one of my very omnipotent and omniscient oversights that they even exist! All men are children of mine. They were born with variations, and have been living hell on earth, so i must allow my fellow disciples to be misled into denying them any modicum of happiness and then send them all to hell in err... hell. Hey, omnipotent people make mistakes too, so i'm not to blame for those variations, so let satan have gay barbeque.
Alright, mates, ima sign off for now. What? it's 2011 ALREADY? I've gotta get ready to kill everyone on earth next year! toodles.
(And duh, I don't believe in the alleged apocalypse, in fact, i predicted a ripe crop of apocalypse-related material prior to 2008, before i discovered the magical internet)
There's plenty more which i could cough up. But i'm pretty sick(cool, a pun) and tired of this. . Now tell me por favor, why aint god responsible for evil? Theists, please do answer me, i have been offensive to your fairy god mother, now it's your turn to return the favour in kind.
Here's some stuff you can bash me for:
I'm Chinese(no squinty eyes though)
I'm GAY (oh joy)
I'm atheist(duh)
I'm a sixteen year old air head(we all are)
Good lord.... I just realized that i made a wall of text. Oops
Yeah i don't have squinty eyes. Which i'm glad for.
And being gay isn't a choice. sigh.
Dear halfadoltz, did you even answer my question? besides giving silly facts from the nursery book you call the bible
To fried shoelaces, hmm, appetizing. Anyways, if god really is omnipotent, couldn't he just kill off satan and be done with it? and ain't satan a fallen angel? Heaven's supposed to be a realm where no sin exists. For an angel to commit a sin is a complete paradox
Obviously everyone was sixteen once, a toddler could tell me as much. It's hardly an argument that 80 year old seniors should sit at the kiddie table coz they were once 5
So it turns out that i'm not omnipotent? Oh well, though i sorta enjoyed being all-powerful.
Moans. I expected a real debate. But these replies(which aren't very numerous) are plain lame. Guess i got this question up on an intelligent-theist dry spell.
Well, eve got tricked by a snake. She's supposed to be totally gullible, being in eden and all. What sorta omniscient god wouldn't see the snake coming. Besides, it hardly seems fair that adam, and the entire human race has to suffer for the mistake(which is the equivalent of a toddler being goaded into eating some sweets from a stranger). Isn't that a bit against christian teachings? Anyways, i like how god made eve from adam's rib. Probably means that adam's the prototype and eve is the improved version
