Something about religion?

Why do many people insist on saying something like "oh, well if God wouldnt want there to be killing he wouldnt have invented guns." Its just stupid talk. i mean, wouldnt someone as intellectual as God would wanna put all these test to see who the weak minded people are? i think so. what do you think?

    People made guns. God did not.

    First of all, James 1:17 says this 17Every good gift and every perfect ([a]free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse]. Satan is the one who perverts and twists things. Guns in and of themselves are not bad..if used to catch prey--however, some how, it was perverted and used to kill other people. Satan is the one who causes turmoil and destruction. He tries to destroy everything God has ordained. I mean..I believe comments like that are based on some error. These people don't really know the Word of God and who God is. I hope this helps.

    I think the people you hear are small minded and making excuses. God did not make people kill one another. It's mankinds choice. And not a good one, either.

    It is stupid talk. I think you need some other friends to hang out with.

    It's a common argument of atheists to claim that if there were a God there wouldn't be so much suffering and injustice in the world. I believe, as you do, that this life is a test, meant to see how we will respond and behave on our own free will. He cannot take away that free will, even if somebody wants to murder. We are meant to learn from our experiences, both good and bad, and better ourselves as we progress through life.

    I think that if God really did plan all this stuff out as Christians believe, he'd have no need for tests because he's already fixed the game. It'd be like he's watching a movie he's already seen.

    God dont care anymore since he sinned like the rest of us, he dont exist. He dont listen when someone prays and he is a coward when it comes to someone who would like to confront him. The bible is a book made by the rich generations to keep slaves in line, and like all religion christianity is a fake.

    i agree with you...when God created man he gave us choice and a mind to use at our own will...choice and mind to invent nuclear bombs..so instead of blaming God for guns, blame the guy that came up with the idea of guns

    I agree, besides he doesn't want a bunch of mind numbed robots running around without the freedom to believe in him. I don't want my son to believe in me just because I force him to. I give him the room to make his mistakes and God gives me the room also. I make them, suffer the consequences, and he forgives them. Works for me....

    I definitely agree with you, I think it's completely stupid when people say stuff like that.
