You may not have heard about it in the media because it was a black on white hate crime instead of the opposite (which would have been all over the news), but a white couple in Knoxville, Tenn were carjacked by 5 blacks. The white man was sodomized and his penis cut off in front of his wife. His wife was brutally raped, and then they were both mutilated and killed.
Now, if you or I saw this happening we would stop it.
God is supposed to see everything, and He did nothing to stop it.
So, the reason has to be one of 3 possible answers.
1. He was unwilling to stop it.
2. He was unable to stop it.
3. God does not exist.
You can spout me all the scripture you want, but in the end, it comes down to one of those explanations.
What do you think?

Paul was supposedly born and raised in the city of Tarsus, a region in SE Asia-Minor (now called Turkey) where Mithras was well known. Biblical scholars are now saying that Paul, the alleged author of 13 out of the 27 (maybe more) books of the New Testament, may have been influenced in his writings by this strong religion of Mithraism. We can see a profound kinship between Mithraism and Christianity.

To quote Danielle - "I firmly believe Paul took the teachings of an Essene rabbi called Jesus and rearranged them to fit the Mithras mythology. There were many wannabe messiahs around the time of Jesus; the man who could establish a religion based on a "real" messiah would be a very powerful and respected man, which Paul apparently wanted to be.

The fact that Paul never met Jesus, and that Jesus never foretold Paul's appearance (unless it was included in his warning about deceivers that would fool "the very elect"), should be proof that Paul had no authority in real Christianity. "

Luke 14

7When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: 8"When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, 'Give this man your seat.' Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, move up to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow guests. 11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

All are welcome to answer, but please, no "it's all a fairy tale" type answers! That just isn't respectful at all.

Quotations from Wiki :

"God is dead: of his pity for man hath God died."
"The God who beheld everything, AND ALSO MAN: that God had to die! Man cannot ENDURE it that such a witness should live." [6]
"God is dead. Let us not understand by this that he does not exist or even that he no longer exists. He is dead. He spoke to us and is silent. We no longer have anything but his cadaver. Perhaps he slipped out of the world, somewhere else like the soul of a dead man. Perhaps he was only a dream ... God is dead." Jean-Paul Sartre
A popular joke, often found graffitied on walls, particularly in university towns: Nietzsche, "God is dead"; God, "Nietzsche is dead." Someone might append to this, "A good exchange." Someone who has read Nietzsche might also add a quote from Ecce Homo, "Some men are born posthumously." Another variant on this joke: "God is dead, Nietzsche is dead, and I'm not feeling too good myself."
...

Important - Please be nice
Thanks

with the effect of me, totally bowled over by his charisma, from that moment on filled with an unconditional love for everything he stands for, cleansed of al my atheistic, social anarchist, open source leanings, authentically repentant of all my mulitudinous sins to the molecular level in general and especially of my oppinion that his dad in the old testament projects an image of an infantile bully with a severe personality disorder surpassing even microsoft in his narcistic acting-out, would my genuine love and repentance save me even though I never was a believer and now dont have to believe since the proof is in front of me?

Do Christians rely on this belief and sin freely ?
What is the point then

I get a lot of answers that end with "May God have mercy on your soul".

I'd prefer that he not; I'd rather be partying in hell than knitting in heaven.

Thanks in advance.

Are we just more developed / intelligent, or is there something more to a person than to any other living creature?

What?

Or if you don't believe there is, why not?

Recently, there have been some TV shows that had guests argue the existence of 'God'.

This argument has always been convincing to believers like me. However look at this answer and help me dispute it.

This is the argument:


It takes intelligence to design a clock.

The clock designer goes to Home Depot for brass, screws, etc. and doesn't throw them into the air to form the clock. The designer must form order out of the chaos of the various components in order to assemble the clock. This is proof of intelligence.

Look at the Universe, how the planets travel around the sun, it is like a giant clock. Don't you see how there must be an intelligent God to design the universe?


The response was:


Where was the Home Depot of the sky that where God purchased the materials for the Universe?
