"The gods can either take away evil from the world and will not, or, being willing to do so, cannot; or they neither can nor will, or lastly, they are both able and willing. If they have the will to remove evil and cannot, then they are not omnipotent. If they can, but will not, than they are not benevolent. If they are neither able nor willing, then they are neither omnipotent nor benevolent. Lastly, if they are both able and willing to annihilate evil, how does it exist?"
..........Epicures, 300 B.C.

what was the point of "intelligently designing" all of them just to wipe them out?

Was the perfect God unable to come up with a prototype He was satisfied with?

My belief when I came to Questions and answers was that you could come here to get a question that you have answered or help someone to answer theirs... I am a Christian woman who, though I believe totally in God as my Father in Heaven, still has questions regarding life issues as they may relate to my beliefs or have my own opinions that may help someone who is looking for answers..
I can not believe all the hate and name calling that goes on in the Religion and Spirituality. Why?? Open debate on any issue is fine, but debate does not include name calling and stupid questions that just beg for a hateful comment..
I would consider this section a place for someone who has a serious question about a Bible verse or God, Jesus, or something pertaining to their beliefs.. I would not have expected it to be a place to convict others for their beliefs.. If you want debate..why not ask someone why they believe what they do and then maybe share why you believe what you do.. Why be hateful??

I was just wondering if you all noticed the false pretenses that are repeated over and over in here. Wasn't it Hitler who said that, If you say it loud enough and long enough, people will start to believe it?

"How can you believe something not based on fact?
Notice the pretense is that our faith is not based on fact.

"How can you believe in a God with no proof?"
Pretense..."proof" is what is required to believe in God and not evidence which is not something science deals with. It is an interpretation of "evidence" not proof. And if "evidence" is what they really mean, that there is none to stand on in believing in a creator God.

I see this over and over from more of the RABID atheists. Not all of them are like that, but for the ones that are...why not just deal with the truth. Points to an agenda of not really being open to a real discussion but to evangelize and cause strife.

Just curious if anyone else noticed a common theme.

Maybe they have different sects in Jehova's witness. Two of them came to my sister in laws house and said that there is a new prophet. He lives in America and is 93 years old.

Bible : "If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you ... Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die." -- Dt.13:6-10

Quran:
They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve ... take them and kill them wherever ye find them. 4:89

Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. 9:5
The disbelievers are an open enemy to you. 4:101

If they ... assail your religion, then fight the heads of disbelief. ...
Fight them! Allah will chastise them at your hands, and He will lay them low and give you victory over them 9:12-14

Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah. 9:29

Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you. 9:123

Why is it that so many people become religous during or just after times of great difficulty and hardship eg. relationship trauma, exposure to extreme violence, depression etc?

What does this mean? Why do more "on-top-of-the-world" types not suddenly become devout and does this not lead one to think that religion is merley a temporary crutch for those going through a hard time?

Im not religous and have often wondered about this...
