You can't just say, if there is a god, THEN those deaths are terrible, which seems to be your mantra.
Those deaths were terrible, ...[text shortened]... ng all land life was already dead too?
How can you even BEGIN to believe such utter nonsense?
I beg to differ why would one death be worse than another once done dead is dead!
Life is where it matters not death, being tortured is terrible I agree, still that is human on
human suffering.
So you get upset at what humans do to one another and get pissed at God for that!?
I think the way we treat one another is important, it is the only thing that we do that
"should" be done properly to each other. That "should" screams out when evil is done
and we see it for what it is. It isn't my world view that accepts that as normal it is yours.
There is no "should" if there isn't a "should" that belongs to every human! Even if they
reject it they would still be bound by it with God. We know we are screwing up so we
have to make up excuses on why we treat each other badly, we give ourselves some
type of justification when we know we are NOT acting out as we are supposed to.
A godless world, there isn't single standard that we are all bound to! Instead what comes
does so by those who are in power, check out the middle east at the moment. ISIS is in
control of parts of the world and they are applying what they think is right. Some where
else some other group of people will comes along and do what they think is right, and that
is just the way it is with humans.
The fact that some agree and others do not would be the norm and our treating one
another badly is just acting out as humans do. The way the world works lions eat deer,
they rip them apart and eat them alive it is what lions do. People do what to one another
they are the ones preforming the list of acts you find evil do they not?
I swallow the scriptures hook line and sinker *correct* and I have no trouble admitting it.
Life on this planet is short and it ends for all of us at some time. What we do to others is
more important than what is done to us. I believe exactly what Jesus said, that we have
to forgive all or we cannot be forgiven.
The laws in genetics as in all things come from a source who holds the whole of the
universe together by the power of His Word. I have no doubt that God who spoke it
into reality can screw with it to do what He wants for His own reasons.
You are left with the facts we behave badly because we are what we are. A godless
universe just means the mirror you look into leaves you nothing to hide behind because
our nature has us doing these rapes, murders, and so on because that is who we are.
Some don't, but still our nature is what it is.
I like that God gives us an out to change into something better. For me that is better that
the crap you push out there that this is all caused by a lucky turn of events without a plan,
purpose, or design.
