if I was an all-powerful, all-knowing entity, i would spend my time with more edifying tasks. like, perhaps, creating a universe that didn't have homosexuals, pagans, etc., if i hated them so much.

first off, God doesn't hate homosexuals, pagans, etc......he dislikes their lifestyle....not them personally....he loves every single human being.....no matter how grotesque they may seem to us....and he originally created a perfect world.....but we, through Adam and Eve, brought sin and fallenness into the world by not accepting all that God was giving......

Because he loves you and doesn't want you to be lost in a devils hell after death.
What you see is not as real as God. What you see should prove to you their is a God. If you try and tell me we just became without a creator then you need to go rethink some things. Ask an athiest How the whole universe came about to exist and I mean every galaxy and every star, also the ones still forming. Ask how the earth has one set speed it to turn and one set speed to rotate around the sun. Also the sun is just at the right distance for life to be sustained here on earth which includes billions of diverse lifeforms (That according to athiest just popped out of nowhere or crawled out of the Ocean). Where did the Ocean come from then?. Also ask them to get an empty glass and set it up in their house and go back to the glass 20 or 30 years or more if needed and see whats in it..........you know what would be in it? Still nothing. You have to have a Creator and it scares them. Also for the big bang theory supporters........where did the material that went bang come from and the energy to make it go BANG? I'll tell you God created it and he may have made a "BIG BANG" out of it to put it where he wanted it. I won't dispute that because the Universe is still expanding. All in all the athiests have to many questians to explain themselves that the Bible already explains. I'd rather believe there is a God and die and if there isn't I lose nothing but if there is and I've argued to people he isn't then I would lose alot. Think it over friend. Are you really sure about denying God?

God doesn't want a wind-up, robotic universe. He created beings with free will. He didn't create machines. Just like a parent takes enormous interest in the thoughts, behaviors, and well-being of their child, so too does God have an interest in His children. And like a human parent, God wants his children to live their own lives, and not simply be robots. Yes, God would love for everyone to be obedient and to have good, noble lives. But God would rather have free will for his children and allow for them to choose to do the wrong thing rather than to have children that have only a shadow of a real life.
I know it's a poor comparison, but humanity has the ability to put people in space and to build huge cities. Yet we often care about such small things, like plants, goldfish, cats, and dogs. Consider that men and women care about such things, and then consider how much greater is God's capacity to care and love compared to that of mere men and women.

1. He created you in his own image. 2. Life is about choices and changes. 3. He knows even when a sparrow falls and the hairs on your head, you came from him and so you will return. 4.Love, in a manner we can not conceive, pure and free.Do not confuse the God of the old testament with the new, when Christ lived among mankind and died for all, this was forgiveness for all sins and we belong to Christ, forgiven so we can return to that relationship with the Creator. It is a belief that even though he created us as well our imperfections just like heredity can be passed down. But in many ways it's our choice.

I believe that our god created us out of our gods own substance so that we could learn everything possible, so we could learn to love our god, and we could learn to love every type of child our god wanted to have, much like a mother wants from her children. You could also look at as if we were body parts of our god, you wouldn't want one of your fingers to cut off the rest of your fingers just because they didn't look the same would you?
Yes, if i were an all powerful all knowing entity that was so closed minded I would hate certain types of my own children I would create a universe without that type, but the argument you will receive from static, closed minded people, will be 'he gave you the right to choose'.
I say our god wants every kind of person there is because in the end we learn that the physical world is nothing more than a playground/school, and that our true worth is in our minds.
Closed mindedness is harmful because it encourages ignorance, while giving the ignorant the feelings of righteousness and power over others.
Our god intended our existence to be this way, and yes, our god did give us the right to choose, but I doubt our god gave us that choice so we could be self righteous hypocrites that try to hurt others just to feel better about ourselves.
I think our god gave us the right to choose so we could learn a better way to do things, and to treat and see others in positive ways that are not shameful, harmful, or derogatory in any way.

The bible asks that very question. A psalmist put it this way: "who is man that God is mindful of him?" But the truth is, the God who created all things very much is concerned and interested in everything about you. He loves you so much.
And God does not hate homosexuals. He hates sin and the damage that sin does.

God doesn't hate. God wanted human being to have free will so they would discover Him of their own accord. That is why human beings are so special in the universe. The rest of the universe already knows God exists and worship and praise Him. Humans are the only creation that can chose which direction they want to go in. So when one chooses to believe in God and build a relationship with Him, He loves that individual and elevated him/her higher over the rest of creation.

Your soul was made form part of its Body before the creation of the physical universe.Therefore you are are a part of it and it is a part of you.
If the currenent Creator thought that those people were bad(evil) it wouldn't have allowed them to be made from its Body.But then again it made SATAN to try and tempt people from the laws of the Creator Its balanceing act to keep life advancing instead of sitting around scratching fleas

A fundamentalist Christian is one who believes that there exists an all powerful, all knowing, universe spanning entity that has a deep and personal interest in your sex life.
