You can say God does not prevent it.

But would God have to prevent it, if we didn't choose it?
God gave you freewil, and you are glad to have it, many are glad they don't have to believe in God.
God made freewill
creatures---men and angels created sin and evil
WHY HASN'T MAN STOPPED EVIL AND SUFFERING?
WHY DOESN'T MAN ADMIT THAT MAN CHOOSES SIN AND EVIL?

I think the reason is because it's a test.

God wants to test us.

Also, people have free will. God can't force people to be good. People have to make their own choices, and if God interferred with a child being rapped, then he wouldn't be giving the killer free will and that's very important.

We have to learn to be good on our own, without constant supervision from God.

Can you truly say a person is good if he's being watched 24/7?

Of course not.

God does not interfere because he wants to test people.

Also, dying is not the worst thing that can happen to people. The kids who are Christian that are raped and killed will be in heaven Forever.

People need to understand that.

May Jesus bless you.

I'm progressivly more and more revolted with peoples intrusive and condisending comments about gay, bisexual, lesbian, and transgendered people. I find that with the youth it's fine for girls to be bisexual, if not enticed, however bisexual boys are usually called fags and their masculinity is put in question.Likewise, I think that men are genuinely threatened by lesbians, mainly, because they can't fathom the concept that women do not need a penis to have sex, and, in relation,two women are not foreign to their bodys and (generally) know each others needs due to sharing the same physical features and hence possibly have better sex than a man and a woman.To me this is undeniably self-indulgent of men, to comdemn something primarily because they feel they might be rendered futile. As for gay men many people put a strain on this lifestyle by forcing a femininity on one of the said partners, is it possible, if not in theory, that there could be two ever so masculine gay men?

"A Christian is simply anyone who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. " (cmm_home: )

Gays who don't repent can be imperfect Christians just as all other Christians are imperfect, it is no bar to being a Christian surely?

Imagine a person who is moral, and who puts others before themselves, and who is kind-hearted, loving, etc, etc. A good example, I think, is a typical Buddhist, as Buddhism is essentially an atheist religion, and promotes many of the same virtues that Christianity promotes (and argueably with even more success). Would this person go to Hell? Why or why not?

God has a set of natural laws.

One of them is that if you get a limb cut off, it's not going to grow back. It's as simple as that.

Foolish atheists use this as evidence to try to get people to think there is no God because if there was and you prayed with all of your heart, your arm would grow right back because the Bible promises miracles to people who pray and who truly believe.

This is just stupid. If anything, this proves there is a God.

God wants to test your faith.

Arguements like that come from Satan, who desperately wants you to burn in Hell FOREVER with him.

The only one I know is Vicariism which states that God speaks through all of His creation not exclusively the Bible, Koran, Torah, etc… Creation is a form of expression so there’s a message from God behind all that exists, behind our emotions. The more we learn and teach, the closer we are to God. Everything holds the spark of divinity, but we must use new personal and vicarious experiences, not biblical dogma or repetitive practice, to realize inner peace. The symbol (underline symbol) of Vicariism is the Egyptian god, Abraxas, who has many forms all which stimulate our creative thought. It represents God’s changing form and our inability to share a single vision of God. The religion was started by Christian Buddhists and like Buddhism, it is not mutually-exclusive.

I am a Roman Catholic and have heard of Scientology. I have no wish to join it, but I do wish to more fully understand it. I know the religion was established by a science fiction writer around the mid 20th century. But the whole Xenu, frozen thetans, etc, is that really part of the religion? Also, is it true that Scientologists do not believe in psychology or drugs for depression and ADHD? I have never considered Scientology a religion, but I want to re-evaluate my stance on what Scientologists really believe, and if what they believe works towards the common good and is not just a "religion" focused around making money or telling "false truths."

prophet (not even Muhammad) - because English did not exist until after 1066 AD!
Does the Bible exist in the original form anywhere on earth? (No)
Why does the Catholic Bible has seven (7) more books than the Protestant Bible?
Why do these two Bibles have different versions of the same books?
Why are there so many mistakes and errors are from the very first verse right up to the very last verse?
Why do 'Born Again Christians' teach concepts that are not from the Bible?
There is no word "Trinity" in the Bible in any version of any language
The oldest forms of Christianity do not support the 'born again' beliefs
Jesus of the English Bible complains about the 'crucifixion'
("Eli! Eli! Lama sabachthani? - My God! My God! Why have You forsaken me?") [Mk 15:34]
How can Jesus be the "Only Begotten Son" of John 3:16? When in Psalms 2:7 David is God's "Begotten Son?"
Would a 'Just' God, a 'Fair' God, a 'Loving' God -- punish Jesus for the sins of the people that h called to follow

Why did God talk to Saul and strike him blind for three days to get him to turn back to God? I am a sinner like Saul was, but God has not done anything dramatic to get my attention? According to the bible, God talks to some people (i.e. Noah, Moses, Abraham, etc) so why doesn't he come talk to me ? Does he care more for some souls than others ?

Me, Agnostic, I celebrate christmas because it's a time to be with family, and the oppurtunity to give and not expect a thank you.

Now tell me, do YOU personally, celebrate Christmas? Easter?
or any other religious holidays that are widely and very commonly celebrated where youa re living?

Is this passage of the quran accurate & true?....if not please post the real passage c/w with the number

Quran 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
