that you know of anyway.

I'd like to read that person's work on Atheist or atheism related stuff. If it is not perfectly logical, I'll continue my search for God. Otherwise, I'll reconsider my efforts.

Look at all the people that have been tortured, used for medical experience, raped, etc.

The Christians' objection to this argument involves freewill. They say that a being must have freewill to be happy. The omnibenevolent God did not wish to create robots, so he gave humans freewill to enable them to experience love and happiness. But the humans used this freewill to choose evil, and introduced imperfection into God's originally perfect universe. God had no control over this decision, so the blame for our imperfect universe is on the humans, not God. However...

************INSTEAD of letting us have all options, why couldn't he have just given us some good, nonharmful options? He coulda saved a lot of the lives of his own "creations"....

Considering that he apparently created "Lucifer" (el Diablo).


Another question: If God is omniscient, why did he create Lucifer, considering that he's supposed to kinow the trouble Lucifer will bring?

You say it is inspired by God, but how do you know that? How do you know that it isn't a load of crap? How do you know that it was translated correctly through all of these centuries? What proof do you have that these stories are like fairy tales based on myth and superstition?

Do you believe everything that anybody says is true even though it has flaws?

What prophesies have been fulfilled besides those same old vague ones that everyone talks about? Such as the world getting more evil, wars, etc.

What are the grounds for your belief? Logic or wishful thinking?

A) They do not want to die. They want a God to make them immortal.

B) They are not happy with their present life, lonely, poor... and want another life where they will finally reach happiness, love and connection and God will provide this for them.

C) If there is a C, you write it.

A recent study indicated those who bathe have different personalities (spirituality) than those who shower. I have my doubts, but I thought it might be interesting to poll this chat group.

A question for christians about John 1:1?
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Now if we read the original Greek scriptures...
-The first "God" is a translation of the Greek word θεον = God
-The second "God" is a translation of the Greek word θεος = god

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...

Why did the writer of the Gospel choose different words if he wanted to say that Jesus is God?

The verse simply says: there is a god with God = Polytheism.

Exo 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me.



θεον = Accusative case of θεος
θεος = Nominative case of θεος

Same word just conjugated according to the grammar, i.e. run, ran, running are the same word. Notice "...and the Word was God." This is not Word and God are one the same but rather "the Word was characteristic of God".

My friend was talking about going to confession and she said she was going to tell the priest her one confession and ask him not to give her the stations of the cross because she felt bad enough already. What does that mean?

I'm not Catholic (thank God), but I was curious.

And nobody better say from evolution because something had to start it all. I mean nothing can't create something. (So, the Big Bang was created from nothing?)

But, for the sake of argument, let's continue. Let us suppose that this perfect God did create the universe. Humans were the crown of his creation, since they were created in God's image and have the ability to make decisions. However, these humans spoiled the original perfection by choosing to disobey God.



What!? If something is perfect, nothing imperfect can come from it. Someone once said that bad fruit cannot come from a good tree, and yet this "perfect" God created a "perfect" universe which was rendered imperfect by the "perfect" humans. The ultimate source of imperfection is God. What is perfect cannot become imperfect, so humans must have been created imperfect. What is perfect cannot create anything imperfect, so God must be imperfect to have created these imperfect humans. A perfect God who creates imperfect humans is impossible.
