If so, why did you choose it?

We're so good at patting ourselves on the back when good things happen in the world, but who's really to blame when things go wrong? Shouldn't it be the other way around? For example, why do so many people blame God for not ending world hunger and famine, when He has given us the means to end it ourselves?

Why was there a war in heaven? Who would want to leave God and Paradise and go it alone? Why would they choose that?

Does God know the future? Does he know what decisions he will make? Does he know where your soul is going to end up? He is omnipotent, so you would think he knows these things... but what about free will?

And why doesn't God just reveal Himself completely to us? Why do we have to come to Him and find faith and love Him objectively on some big journey? Why did God create us in this manner? Why did he not just create more angels who live right there with him?

Why is there so much confusion in the world? Why is there so much suffering? Why do bad people seem to get rich and lead such happy and prosperous lives?

Why?

Thanks.

PS - I ask these questions with a bit of an 'in your face' attitude. But I do ask all of these questions very sincerely nonetheless. I am a Christian, who, like my many brothers and sisters struggles from time to time.

I am reading David Mills's "Atheist Universe". In page 78, he refered as it

Atheists celebrate the Winter Solstic, which has been recognized since ancient times as the shortest day of the year ( December 25th by the Julian calendar). The ancients celebrated this day because they realized that they had "rounded the corner" and, soon, the days would grow longer and longer, and their crops would once again provide sustenance.

Duraing the early days of Christianity, believers tried to persuade the ruling authorities to establish a legal holiday to commemorate Jesus' birth. But the governing authorities refused. So the Christians deided that "if you can't beat them, join them" and there after clebrated Jesus' birth on an already-estiblashed holiday: the Winter Solstice (December 25th). Pope Gregory XIII later revised the ancient Julian calendar; and so the clandar we use today - the Gregorian clandar - moves the Winter Solstice back a few days to December 21st.

Zetso created all Gods(including the christian God). He is the God of all the Gods.

1. I know zetso is real because I feel him in my heart.

2. When I pray to him, he answers. That's how I got a good job

3. He loves all of us so much. That's why he punishes the Gods under him for allowing religious wars(the zetso book said it)

4. You have to do is have faith. If you seek him, you'll find him.

Here's the question.

Christians, Do you realize that hell is not real to Atheists? I see you as a child believing a myth?

There is a threat that threatens both Israel and Palestine. The only way to defeat this threat is to come together, join forces, and work together. And only together will they have a chance. United they will stand but divided they will fall.

Other Arab countries and Muslim fundamentalists.

They intrude in Israeli Palestinian affairs and meddle in Israeli Palestinian business. They will only bring Israel and Palestine down. They are not helping and are in fact only hurting.

Unite and fight for the sake of both your people. Thoughts?

Why do so many people who believe in evolution claim that evolution is a proven fact for how the world came to be? I'll grant that there is evidence that suggests conclusions other than the biblical story, but there is no irrefutable formula, nor is there any experiment/study that PROVES this over creationism. Are they merely wishful thinkers like they accuse creationists of being or what?

I always hear Christians saying this.

"See I have nothing to loose with my beliefs you have everything to loose with yours. So if I am wrong oh well but if you are wrong"

I copied this comment from this site.

I would have to say mine is Billy Graham. I think he is an awesome example of what a Christian should be.

then how he can be god.In the bible always God been the other person. example “God has raised this Jesus...” (Acts 2:32)

“God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:36)
For Peter, Jesus was a servant of God. Peter said: “God raised up his servant...” (Acts 3:26). The title servant refers to Jesus. This is clear from a previous passage where Peter declared: “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.” (Acts 3:13).

that this validates the accuracy and truth of the rest of the story? Does the existance of Atlanta make 'Gone with the Wind' a nonfiction book also; or how bout the fact that the civil war actually occured. then that proves that rhett butler and scarlet ohara were real and everything in the book is true. and why do believers say that because there were multiple authors of the books of the bible telling the same stories that validates its truthfulness. so if more authors write about rhett butler and scarlet ohara and tell of atlanta and the civil war and the story of 'Gone with the Wind' in their own words, that only reinforces the book as nonfiction and proves that rehett and scarlet existed. and if we decide to swear on the "Gone with the Wind' and quote it in sermons and place a copy in every hotel room and print rhetts words in red ink and believe for generations and generations that the story is true and not to question its validity, then it's got to be true right?
