why is the idea of a loving creator so strongly opposed by those that would rather live in sin and reject him?

Answer 1

Because they are deceived by the devil.

Answer 2

So anyone that rejects your deity lives in sin? Somehow I find that ludicrous. Many people live good moral lives without the aid of belief in a deity or deities. Many people don't believe that there was a 'creator'.

The attitude of accept the deity or accept the sin is only one of the many reasons I left religion and became agnostic. Until death provides the empirical proof needed to answer all the unanswerable questions I am happy living my life to the best of my ability for my fellow human beings. I do not see that as sin; however, if it makes you happy to, feel free to see it that way.

Answer 3

For one thing, the creator is not "loving". I am Jewish by origin, and Jesus Christ, he is an asshole. He condemned the Jews to 40 years of desert-wandering, turned people into salt for mistakenly looking behind themselves, did not intervene when it came to the inquisition, let them be slaughtered by numerous warlords and kings, did not stop the holocaust, ect, ect... I am an atheist, and I reject the idea of God. I love my life, I take great enjoyment from it, but I believe that once I die, I die. That does not scare me, in fact I like the idea much more than heaven and hell. I also think that there are more horrible things that you could do than not believe in God. I am only a sinner in the eyes of those who preach religion. If I believed in the christian god, I would be a sinner in the eyes of every other religion on earth.

Answer 4

David Israel,
You are a Christian. I do know that you seem to have some psychological disorders and therefore may not be capable of hearing dissent. Nonetheless, I must tell you david that I think this evil and deceptive form of missionizing you are perpetrating is degrading Christianity and the good, normal christians who practice it.

. It is, by definition, impossible for it to be "jewish" to believe in jesus. "Jewish" is, by defintion, what jews have historically and contemporarily believe. Since in neither scenario do we find "believing in jesus", then we must clearly realize that belief in jesus is not something "jewish". You can call it "biblical" (and still be wrong), but certainly not "jewish".
. On the side, the subject of Isaiah 53 is promised a "long life" and "seed" (i.e. physical children). Clearly this isn't about jesus.
. And Isaiah 7 is clearly not messianic if you read the whole chapter. and "alma" doesn't mean virgin either. You'd know that if you spoke hebrew (I guess learning basic hebrew wasn't part of your "extensive jewish upbringing", huh?)
. On the side, Isaiah 9 can't be about jesus since, according to christianity, he's the "son" not the "father" (as the verse states). Nor did he have control of the government (to the contrary, the roman government killed him). And he certainly did not establish "endless peace".

oh, and lastly, I've decided that you truly epitomize everything I find intensely intellectually unsatisfying about christianity.

Answer 5

lots on the marvelous do no longer oppose giving money to the unfavorable notwithstanding if it somewhat is deepest donations, only notwithstanding if it somewhat is government money. some do have an extremely good concept in surely all human beings has to "Pull themselves up via their own bootstraps" yet all of them at the instant are not against assisting human beings, notwithstanding if it somewhat is deepest, or church or notwithstanding. i do no longer understand precisely the place it suits into issues like gay marriage. Christ easily believed in assisting the unfavorable and did no longer choose them, yet there are situations while all human beings is only getting hand outs and not assisting themselves. No, i'm no longer a ideal wing conservative, i'm a midsection of the line Democrat. in spite of the undeniable fact that it relies upon on who it somewhat is and the circumstances. yet i think of many Conservatives do no longer basically like the government doing lots of something.
