Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, Maxims and Arrows

The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, section 130

It's amazing how many people refuse to consider this question and simply give me the prepared answer of 'God is perfect'. This question was meant to encourage thought, which evidently is something that the church discourages.

In Response to 'my views', what you described is something known as Pascal's Wager, which basically state that the potential benefits of believing in God far outweigh any inconvenience caused by. As far as I'm concerned if that 'oh just in case' reasoning isn't true faith, it's cowardice.

Answer 1

Neither

Answer 2

Maybe an experiment of His, not a mistake?

The other question: who was it said that 'if God did not exist Man would have had to create Him?'. I forget, but anyway, I know what he meant. We need to pass the buck and God has broad shoulders. I cannot imagine not having an idea of a Superior Being in my life, for better or worse. I was reared a Christian and u just can't take a step back from that.

I would love to meet a true Athiest - a person who had never, ever been told about a God. I'd just like to know what makes them tick. All the Athiests I know are just rejecters of God which isn't the same thing.

Answer 3

Nietzsche was another one of those geniuses who committed suicide!

At some point in your education you will realize that people like; Wittgenstein, Marx, Wellhausen, Dewey, Siggy Freud, Soren Kierkegaard, et al were not the brightest candles in the darkness.

Answer 4

Think a situation in which two persons face a situation as follows:

One believes there is God and at the end he realises at the time of death that there is nothing as such.

Another persons believes that there is no God and speaks all evil about the concept and at the time of death he sees God.

Which situation you prefer?

Answer 5

I don't know if, in either case, you can call it a "mistake." I'm okay with people believing in God... they obviously need to in order to survive. I don't.

I do believe that man created the idea of God so he wouldn't be alone and so he'd believe he's part of a bigger plan. I don't subscribe to those ideas, so I don't need to believe there is a God.

As long as those who believe keep it to themselves and stop trying to pass laws based on their own skewed view of morality

Answer 7

God does not make mistakes. Can you do me a favor and read the book of Daniel the second chapter? Maybe it will help answer your question.
Thanks.

Answer 8

God is perfect. He doesn't make mistakes. No matter how crazy life may seem, he's in control and knows A LOT more than we do!

Answer 9

Neither. Man is an element in God's plan; we have a purpose and a reason for being.

Best wishes and God bless.
