@ThaG that is a very typical cop out for many atheists to use against God. Would God allow evil, of course he created it. For those that believe in omnipotent authority, here's something rhetorical. Could the creator of all things not allow certain things to happen if it is his will? Things like these are the natural process of life as you would put it ThaG. Just like how I get sick and people die, it's a natural process right? So since August of Last year until June, I had an illness that could have killed me. Did I buckle at the knees, did I whine, did I blame God? No, I was the one to blame for my illness and the natural process of Life.

Like I've said time and time and again, it's a give and take. People will find "their way" while others will probably never find theirs. As ironic as that sounds I don't see how you can blame God.
then I can only say this:

It's all good Bro. :cool:

You're not always going to get people from the opposite side on your side, but the fact that there are others out there that already are or will be is good enough.

god created Evil?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Why? So he came play the game of life with his toy soldiers and see who would choose his side? Well no, becuase according to the B-I-B-L-E God knows all, sees all, etc......so he already knows what side you will choose and where you will end up! Right?

So why would he create evil other than to make our lives a living hell?
Why would he allow someone to be born like the babies above?
Why would he allow people to be born with both a dick and a pussy?

In your bible it states we are all made in "his" image? Seems to me God doesnt even know his own image!

Do you see how much sense this DOESNT make Stockton? Are you really understanding your own logic here?

Probably God himself:ermm:

You know he's omnipotent:ermm: , there's nothing impossible for him, even if it contradicts the laws of logic:confused:

This is where all arguments of believers fall apart - you can not explain the world by invoking something that requires explanation itself

But they conveniently fail to realize this..

Just like how he knew that allowing your father to be blind you'd still put the blame on him even though you strongly believe he doesn't exist. LOL

I can remember so many times I've explained this, I guess you have a vague memory.

Anyways right on to those that believe in the power of prayer/faith.

NO! EVERYTIME I HAVE PRAYED, SHIT TURNS OUT FUCKED UP... I ONCE HAD A DREAM WHERE I SEEN MY FRIEND IN HIS CASKET... I WOKE UP AND WAS LIKE WHAT THE FUCK... SO I PRAYED FOR HIM AND MY FAMILY... WHAT HAPPENS HE DIED IN A CAR CRASH A FEW WEEKS LATER... RIP TO RAYMUNDO GARCIA AND ROSEMARY JASSO
I have to agree in a sense with what your saying..

I believe in god but everytime i prayed god never answered my sincere prayers..I prayed for my grandma in PR to get better and she died and part of me died when she did..that whole month i was drinking like you would'nt believe because i could'nt believe it. She always made me feel safe and was always making something..I miss her so damm much it hurts till this day..

I think my fathers health is a reflection of how he DID NOT take care of himself!

what im about to say isnt about God or religion, but about humanity.
since time is cyclic, all that we need to do to remember who we are and how life was back then(talkin about ancient humanity, before any recorded history), is to keep moving forward.

like notice the changes that are happening and going to happen. Those having to do with religion, freedom, equality and diversity, the wanting to care for the earth, and so on.

i had too many things listed in my mind but these where only ones can remember now.
Give me a couple hours or so and ill edit this post with more changes

yes. But Prayer is not like a Christmas wish list like most people would like. You're not going to be guaranteed to get what you ask for. I think It's more about connecting to God.
A lot of shit hasn't gone my way lately, but I'm not going to lose faith. I just pray to God to help me out in my troulbed times, and to direct me, guide me, and keep me safe.

But see...this goes right back to where I am standing on your beliefs.

How can you prove Santa Clause doesnt have personal relationships?
How did you come to realize Santa Clause isnt real?
What, he was only real when you were little and now that you are an older person you "know better"?

There is NO ACTUAL EVIDENCE santa clause exist, thus, he does not exist.

WE ALL KNOW THIS.

So why is it so hard for you to understand why Santa Clause, easter bunny, Jesus, Satan, Lepercaun (sp?), tooth Fairy, etc.....are all in the same EXACT boat.

with the exception that Jesus was a real person....

get 80% of america to believe in santa and give testamonys on how he changed their lifes, spoke to them, gave them visions, and answered their prayers, and well argue that he is alike with god


i see what you are saying though due to the fact you havent witnessed any of this first hand, and i cant honestly blame you. heres another thing to think about, i dont necessarily believe in the god that christians mostly describe, i honestly dont know what god is or anything, but i know, that with so many religions revolving around one creator, there is some creator up there, the best word i have to call that being is god. ive seen faith put into this god, and miracles happen. thats all i can tell you. i can type all day and will never convince you, cause you never find "god" untill you look for him/her/it.

So basically whatever is going to happen is going to happen whether you pray for it or not. So then what is the "power of prayer?"

Persistance in faith, the fact that you believe the power of goodness and God under all circumstances. The fact you will not buckle, the fact you can remain standing while others fall. Basically endurance of your faith.
