There are some SICK people in this world

Never question god, just drink his kool aid and donate money to your favorite TV preacher.

Damn straight, the dinosaurs were still here up until 6,000 years ago, god just put the bones farther down the soil to test our faith!
 
God didn't save my people, guess we weren't good enough.
It has nothing to do with being "good enough." It has everything to do with sin and evil in the world, and the things that man does to man. The Jews weren't massacred because they were bad--they were massacred because Hitler was bad.

And the fact that God doesn't always intervene is certainly not evidence that he doesn't exist. God didn't "save" me from being in a terrible car wreck years ago, and he didn't "save" me from breaking my arm when I was 7, either. Pain and suffering are part of life on earth, and always have been.
 
I think it's great that you are religious and i respect you for it, but i have no use for god in my life, and i guess i will burn if i am wrong, oh well.
 
So, does this incident get him a free pass when his class reads "Oedipus Rex"?
 
You only burn if you have nerve endings...Right? Or can a whispy hologram beings (like you saw in Beetlejuice) burn as well?

"Earth is ruled by Satan"

Now I've heard it all
 
The world is full of pain and suffering, no doubt about it. But that's because this is a fallen world, ruled by Satan. All of the suffering inflicted on the innocent--through war, disease, famine, natural disaster, etc.--is part of his plan, not God's. In God's plan, we're going to be leaving this earth someday for a better place, where there will be no more death and dying.

Why hasn't this happened yet? I don't know. I agree that there's been way too much suffering and death, and it's high time we got out of here, but God's timetable is different from mine. I suspect that it all has to play out in its own time, for God's own purposes, before the end comes. Until then, those who believe are promised a place with God in heaven, where the former things are passed away, and all is new again.

i was born hindu, can i be saved?

Yes. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Hindus are saved, and a lot of "Christians" are not. I think salvation is a personal matter between you and God. Only God knows your heart, and I believe that the righteous can be found among all religions.

You don't think it might explain why there is such evil in men's hearts, and why atrocious inhuman things are done everyday on the face of this earth?

Yes, that's it exactly. We have no control over what we do, it's all because of Satan. :crazy:
 
God almighty (self-proclaimed?) is supposedly the strongest force in the Universe yet he can't stop the "inhuman' things and/or the 'devil' himself.

"It's gods will", "it's all apart of gods master plan" is when the line between the devil and god fades.

Ponder that.
 
I apologize in advance because this is a horrible story but the title of the thread made me think of this... I know, it's highly inappropriate to this serious subject but:

Of course we have control over what we do, but some of us (i.e. Hitler and Stalin and Ted Bundy and all the child molesters out there) make some pretty evil choices. What puts those kinds of evil thoughts into men's heads? Surely not God.

So you actually think Satan picks a person at random and goes, "I wonder what will happen if I put this thought in his head? This should be good for a couple of laughs..."

God is God, and he can do anything he wants. But his perfect world became corrupted by sin, and all the horrible events that we are discussing have followed from that. God never wanted it this way, but we have chosen sin over righteousness, and one thing follows another, just as natural consequences flow from all of our choices and actions.

Nope. I think we are living in a sinful world, and it corrupts everything. There is greed and lust and cruelty and all kinds of selfishness as a result of sin, and we all suffer because of it. We see sin all around us, and it becomes part of us if we let it.

So god created this world, he can do anything, he never wanted it to be this way but he can't do anything about it?!?

Yes, he CAN do something about it, and he is going to. That's what His Second Coming is all about!
 
I thought about becoming a Christian, but I decided to become a Jedi instead. The force is more powerful.... and they get light sabers.

When is that suppose to happen again? I want to make sure I schedule the time off from work for it.

Uh, the Jedi aren't real. You do know that, don't you? :)

MILF.

But strictly in a non-incestuous kind of way.
