Good post. In regards to the first question, too late on the dying part...He did that and it's done. I think everyone can admit that they aren't always so nice to have nothing worth getting rid of. 2. You should take responsibility for your own wrong doings and it's good that you do. I don't think that affects a belief in God though. 3. There's this big misunderstanding that since God allows bad crap to happen, He must not really be loving. The truth of the matter is that God is so loving that He gives us the right to make our own choices and not force Himself on us. If He came down and stopped every bad thing that happened, then everyone would believe in Him and where's the choice in that? 4. This goes back to number 3, He gives us choice and I don't believe that He comes down and just takes care of business. He calls us to do that and unfortunately (and I apologize for this) Christians have not done a good job of showing that this is our calling. 5. Same as the other two questions. 6. I think God does a pretty good job of leading by example and we need to remember that God is a supernatural being who isn't fully comprehendible. I don't have a lot of insight on this question so I'm sorry for that.
Anyways, I hope I provided something for the other questions. Good questions by the way.

I think you are too misguided. Someone did die for your dirt so that you could live in paradise. Whether you like it or not. Whether your pride is in your way or not. Doesn't make it any less real. Good to hear that you can take responsibility for your own actions. There isn't enough of that today. It's not about taking responsibility. I am a Christian and still take responsibility for my action. He doesn't allow religious wars. Those that are involved will have to face their judgement. Good for you that you can fix problems. Are you fixing or covering it over with a band aid? And what are you using for a guide to fix these problems? Everyone needs help, there you go again with the pride. Well, I don't see where weapons of mass destruction are being used to rid the earth of satan and his influence. If you can show me where the violence comes in great. Now, if you had to defend what is yours, what are you going to use? Your words? Flowers? Candy? What?

Well, that's all well and good, but it doesn't really apply to everything. Afterall, you could believe in an entity that:
1.) Didn't die for your sins
2.) Wants you to take responsibility for your own wrongdoings
3.) Doesn't start religious wars (probably because no one knows he exists)
4.) Doesn't have the capability or desire to come and fix problems
5.) See 4
6.) Once again, perhaps "God" can't. Say god isn't omnipotent.
That's why I remain agnostic. Dismissing the possibility of a specific religion is easy, but dismissing the possibility of ALL metaphysical activity is impossible.

I will try to answer you respectfully.
For you to say you are too nice to allow God to do this or that -- that you will accept responsibility for it yourself -- well, I don't mean to sound cruel, but you are being a bit egotistical.
We all want to be on a par with God -- we want to elevate ourselves to His level in the world. In that regard we all want to be our own God -- at least for our little piece of the world we live in.
The fact of the matter is that we -- in our human condition cannot do what God did and continues to do for us. That's why He's God and we are not.
(1) We all will die "for our own dirt" -- but God sent His only son to die for our sins (our dirt). God knows we cannot stay away from our dirt and the wages of sin is death. So we are going to die -- but then because of what Jesus did for us, we will live with Him in heaven. We can't do that for ourselves. We just are not that God-like.
(2) We all should take responsibility for our wrong-doings. God didn't take the resonsibility away from us. We are to be responsible. We're still responsible but He saved us from our sins through the life, death and resurrection of His son, Jesus.
(3) Man starts religious wars -- both between countries and between people. Man also battles between each other (that too is war). God doesn't do any of that. In our sinful nature, we sin. In fact, most sin comes from being egotistical (putting our selves in the center of our world) where really only God can exist. God saves us from our sin eternally.
(4) I'm glad to read that you care so deeply for others, I was getting concerned there that you had elevated yourself to quite a high place. If we could fix all the problems of the world, don't you think we could have made some better inroads with them over the pasy 2,000 years? It goes back to man's sinful nature. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God, but in his love for us, He sent his son to save us from our own sin.
(5) See # 4 -- said bluntly, we all need His help. Some just recognize it more than others.
(6) You want leading by example? How about sending his only son to this earth to live and die -- for us. You have the greatest example of love (grace -- which is love we do not even deserve) in Christ's death on the cross -- and his resurrection ,which proved that he can conquer even death. Talk about a good example.
Keep struggling with your questions. To struggle is not at all wrong. The Christian faith; with out triune God -- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit -- is not an easy thing to grasp.
Good questions though. I hope these answers help you.

Hello friend,
I call you friend because you've done me no wrong. The God Whom I serve can take all the petty insults your feeble mind can produce.
And it is God Himself who allows your heart to keep it's appointment with it's next beat.
But one day friend, and you don't know when, your hardened heart will keep it's last appointment with that beat, and then beat no more.
And unless you come to Jesus now in this life, you'll go to Him then after death. Then friend, He will properly address the six points you've made above. And yes, unless you're in Christ, He will remind you of your every sinful thought, word, and deed.
Don't gamble your Eternity on your own foolish intellect. One day,
you'll keep an appointment that you've refused to believe existed.
It's there in Hebrews 9:27.
If you're really feeling bold, check out John 5:28,29.
God Bless you as you proceed,
2 Tim. 2:7

Jesus died to give us life, he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, beaten so that we can be healed.
2. As for your being good enough to take responsibility for your wrong doings, that's good, God's son only died so that you can repent of those things and be saved.
3. God doesn't allow religious wars or create them, God gave us free will, we cause religious wars, and one day God will stop them all.
4. His name is Jesus and he doesn't fix our problems he only helps us to be able to fix them, gives us the tools we need to know how to fix them.
5. There will come a day when you will need God's help or that of his son Jesus. I only hope that when that day comes you remember the way you acted this day.
6. Once again God gave us free will if you don't want to worship him then don't, as for leading by example, his son Jesus has done and continues to do all he can, not to fight the devil, but as satan continues to fight Jesus' children, Jesus continues to have to fight for us.
You need to find a church and a bible and actually read it and listen to the preacher when he talks, most of all you need to know one thing. Despite all that you have said, God loves you,
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not parish but have eternal life. God Bless you. I will be praying for you

playstation .19:one million The heavens are asserting the attention of God: and the works of yourr palms the expanse is telling. playstation 104:24how many your works are, O Jehovah! all of them in awareness you have made. the earth is packed along with your productions Romans one million:20 His invisible characteristics are patently seen from the worlds advent onward, as a results of fact they're perceived with the aid of the flaws made. A member of the French Academy of Sciences mentioned: organic order became into no longer invented with the aid of the human ideas or set up with the aid of particular perceptive powers.... The life of order presupposes the life of organizing intelligence. Such intelligence may be none different than God's- Dieu existe? Oui ( Paris, 1979), Christian Chabanis, quoting Pierre- Paul Grassepg, ninety 4. Scientists have pointed out over one hundred chemical factors. Their atomic atructure reflects an perplexing mathematical interrelationship of the climate. The periodic table factors to obvious desine. Such astounding layout ought to no longer probably be unintended, or a made of probability. think of approximately THIS: as quickly as we see a digicam, radio, or a working laptop or pc, we in simple terms renowned that it mustive been produced with the aid of an clever dsigner. would this is actual looking, then, to declare that much extra complicated issues-- the attention, ear, and the human ideas -- did no longer originate with an clever dressmaker? Now, shall we glance on the psysical universe: in case you chanced on a precision timepiece, would you end that it became into shaped with the aid of a large gamble blowing at the same time of a few dirt particals? for sure, somebody with intelligence made it. PLANET EARTH, whilst crossing a barren desolate tract, in case you got here to a captivating homestead, nicely geared up in each way & stocked with nutrition, would you have self belief it have been given there with the aid of some probability explosion? No, you will comprehend that somebody with substantial awareness outfitted it. The Bible's end is actual looking whilst it states: of direction, each house is built with the aid of somebody, yet he that built all issues is God. Hebrews 3:4 shall we circulate on & on, such as a results of fact the human ideas, the living cells all this is in basic terms a start up of explaining that God incredibly exists.

then take responsibility for your unbelieving spirit. spirits exist, dont they? and wait till science explains them. wait till the One you call skydaddy and face the consequences for not believing. He flooded the earth with evidence and yet some people intentionally close their eyes on them and prefer godless evolution.
