or at least the christian one. Why would he create the universe in all of its complexity, just to tell some cave people how to live? it doesnt make sense.
another one:
could god, being all powerful, create a stone so heavy he couldnt lift it?
why does an all good and all powerful god let people suffer?
post any other questions you have about god, or even try to answer one of these
thoughtfull questions.
ReplyDeleteThe very fact that we can see stars at night proves that the universe is billions of years older than the bible states it is.
ReplyDeletegood work here :)
ReplyDeleteSweet post man
ReplyDeletethere's always the classic problem of evil. Most people believe god is all knowing, all powerful, and all good. Being all knowing, he knows all evils that can be committed. Being all powerful, he has the ability to stop them. Being benevolent, he wants only good to happen. How then does evil exist?
ReplyDeletegreat post from you... check out my newest post :)
ReplyDeleteMeh religion not my favorite topic following
ReplyDeleteThere is no God, and religion is evil. Just saying. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting ideas.
ReplyDeletethats really something to think about
ReplyDeleteIt's almost like God is a man-made concept.
ReplyDeleteThese are all good philosophical questions about God that no one really has an answer to and just to question him. Not that I believe in him or anything, I support you actually.
ReplyDeleteQuestions like this ultimately is what led me to disbelieve in an all powerful god, and question the existencevery strongly. I think God is simply the desire for justice on ones name, considering the many gods that take many forms. Leaves questions no?
ReplyDeletei love chris hitchens little speech on this.
ReplyDeleteHes out there, people just dont notice
ReplyDeleteI'll have a go at it.
ReplyDelete"Why would he create the universe in all of its complexity, just to tell some cave people how to live? it doesnt make sense."
--> Probably because he was bored and wanted something to do. Also, I don't recall any cave people being told how to live in the Bible.
"could god, being all powerful, create a stone so heavy he couldnt lift it?"
--> Weight is mass multiplied by gravity. Creating an object that is inherently heavy doesn't make sense. Besides that, with enough force, one could lift any object.
"why does an all good and all powerful god let people suffer?"
--> Suffering is an inherent part of the human condition. Without suffering, joy would have no value to us. God is neither good nor bad, he does not play sides. A christian might tell you that all suffering is the direct result of the sins of Man.
God is seemingly extraordinarily sadistic at times in the Bible and is ashamed of Man as a whole. We're basically a disgrace to him.
because god is a fucker. compare the deaths he causes compared to satan in the bible. youll see
ReplyDeletei dont beleive there is a god, actually
ReplyDeleteif jesus was a jew, and jews don't believe in jesus, then dose jesus not believe in himself?
ReplyDeleteinteresting questions, and not ones I claim to have any sort of answer to, but I really like Moltmann's "Crucified God" which discusses where God is in human suffering...definitely a hard subject to try to deal with
ReplyDeleteI think of god as a big nerd running his physics simulator and watching what happens and shit...
ReplyDeleteWaste of space, God doesn't exist!
ReplyDeleteSimple answer: There is no God, therefore any questions involving his limitations and motives are invalid. Supporting ;)
ReplyDeletehe's bored
ReplyDeleteagnostic atheist here. I do not believe that a god exists, but I do not claim to have knowledge that one doesn't exist.
ReplyDelete"could god, being all powerful, create a stone so heavy he couldnt lift it?"
-ALSO STOP USING THIS QUESTION. IT IS A LOADED QUESTION. IT IS NOT A REAL ARGUMENT. (again, this coming from an atheist)
It all seems to contradict itself.
ReplyDeleteDeep, much
ReplyDeletethat's pretty deep stuff
ReplyDeletevery interesting, cant wait for more :D
ReplyDeleteI'll have a picture that I will post on my personal blog later on sometime....it'll explain a few things for you and get on persons perspective.
ReplyDeleteIf god solved all our problems, life would have no point.
ReplyDeleteyour last comment on my blog was a good idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading my tech posts! I have more to come!
ReplyDeleteGod can't be both all powerfull and all good at the same time...
ReplyDeleteIf he was all powerfull he wouldn't allow evil to exist, unless he's not all good
"Without relegion there would be no wars"
ReplyDeleteI believe Gandhi said that, correct me if I am wrong.
I think the easiest way to explain it is with an analogy. Think of everything as the beginning of a basketball game, the universe, planets, people, EVERYTHING. And when human life began, it was like the tip off, and God was the ref who threw the ball up and from there it was up to us to do as we wished. Everyone limits themselves to what their particular religion says they can do, but they forget that God has given them the power of free thought and action, if God didn't want us to do those things he would have not made us in an image that allowed us to do so.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion God in the christian sense isn't real.
ReplyDeleteNope,god does not exist.
