No I did not misunderstand. You are saying god created ebola because man sinned. Why does god want to punish innocents now because of a sin long ago? The answer is god is not punishing anyone. Ebola, a life form, evolved on its own. It happens to be dangerous to everyone whether sins have been committed or not.
If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

Collected scientifically or not, the premise still stands, just because it's popular doesn't mean it is true. If there are 7 billion theists on Earth and 1 billion atheists, doesn't mean either one is true. 1 billion disbelievers won't make a real god disappear and 7 billion believers won't make a nonexistent god appear.
06 Apr '15 21:01Originally posted by KellyJayHow about the idea that diseases are opportunistic and will find a way to worm their way into life forms of all kinds. Mentioning ebola as some kind of retribution is about as lame as you can get. So now diseases in general are from the hand of some kind of insanely jealous god. Great. Remind me again why I dislike religion?
You don't believe in cause and effect?
06 Apr '15 23:17Originally posted by sonhouseYou need to understand that it was humans that betrayed God by cooperating with Satan and his fallen angels. It was not God that brought on death and disease. A curse by God is the pronouncement of what outcome will result from our sins. It does not mean God caused them. We caused them, including ebola, as a natural result of our actions.

I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
07 Apr '15 00:54Originally posted by sonhouseHow about that, if diseases are just opportunistic then why call it evil? Evil
