No He's not a racist.

I guess that it is the poor and suffering who will be much happier in Heaven. You can never know true happiness if you have never felt true pain as well. If a poor man received $1, then that $1 would matter so much to him. Why? He rarely receives that "luxury". It doesnt come by often.

How can you even dare say that God is racist when Jesus Himself was born a poor man and suffered and died in a TERRIBLE, BRUTAL way??? Jesus, thru His birth as a poor man, showed that not all the glory goes to those who are better off. He loved all humans, but He showed special love and care to the poor and the sick, dying, and suffering.

God even incorporated love for neighbor as one of the greatest things a person can do for another. He even stressed the importance of love to the poor, sick, suffering and dying especially since they are in most need of our help.

Given that, how can you call God a racist when there is much love&sympathy expressed to the guys at the bottom of the ladder???

God bless,

< i have a bad feeling my post will be ignored to give way to a some person who hates God. sniff... >

Edit:
PS. Sho Nuff Nolte, you are hypocritical. Read your post again. It is very discriminating. Yet you claim that the bad stuff are the fault of God. Weren't you discriminating PEOPLE?!

It is very RACIST as well considering that Christians come from ALL over the world. Africans, Europeans, Asians, in the Americas, Australia, etc.

There is a famous religious theory I like to call the “Fish Bowl Theory;” it can be understood using a simple parable: We can all relate to owning and observing fish in a fish bowl. If it were possible for fish to have human characteristics such as reasoning, how would the smartest and most scientifically educated fish interpret their life experiences? It would be understandable that these “scientist” fish would observe the process of obtaining food and conclude that there is a “supreme hand” that, at a certain time each day, sprinkles the food over the heavens. They would conclude based on their observations that when fish die the “supreme hand” comes with a green net and takes them to the next world; and so on. As humans, observing this from outside the fish bowl, we would laugh at their ignorance and realize that they are forced to come to ridiculous conclusions based on their limited knowledge of the world around them; a world their limitations do not allow them to understand. Similarly, trying to use our feeble understanding of the world and what is good and bad, pain and suffering, happiness and sadness is just ignorance.

That's a very interesting question but a question that really has no definite or "proof positive" answer. God is an "Entity" Spirit form as we have always been taught thru the teachings of the Bible. Now if we want to get technical here..God created Adam and Eve in His own image. What do we know about Adam and Eve and their origin. Well we know that God placed both of them in the "Garden of Eden" but where was this Garden of Eden located? Middle East? Africa? United Kingdom? Iraq?Iran? shall I go on? We really don't know this answer. We can assume or speculate that the "Garden of Eden" was located somewhere in the Middle East. If this is the case then Adam and Eve's skin color would probably be Olive skin color or simular.Not black nor white nor Asian in decent but from the Middle East origin.Now God made humans in His own image. He didn't specify what color. Maybe God ,Himself is all colors. Or maybe He doesn't have one specified color since He is an Entity. We are all classified as His children no matter what color we are. I can't believe that God would create us in His own image just to turn around and condemn us for what color we are. That just doesn't make any sense to me. Now let's look at Jesus for a second. Jesus also was from the "Middle East" in Jerusalem which is also Olive skin origin. I f God was racist, I would think that he would be against all colors except for the ones born from the Middle East so do speak. But one can't say that either since look at the Jewish slaves during Ramses time era that were killed if not murdered and beaten for building the Great Pyramids and believing in Moses instead of Ramses or Seiti.When one goes into a church, most of the time you see pictures of Christ hanging on the walls. Now what I have seen in some churches, not all mind you, but some. That the picture of Christ is either "black or white". You don't see Jesus in His origin color which is "Olive skin" in color. Jesus wasn't born caucasion nor was He born in Africa or China but He was born in the Middle East so why do these churches have these pictures of Jesus in a different color prospective? Society/People have done this because this is what they want to see not the true color. You believe that God is a racist because of the famine and the diseases and starvation in Africa. What about the American Indians? Look how they were starved to death and diseases set in their tribes. This wasn't due to God's actions but MAN'S actions.Ireland also had starvation and diseases and also United Kingdom and they were caucasion.Look at the United States. During the depression years we had alot of starvation and diseases and it didn't choose the color that they attacked. So God isn't racist, society is.God doesn't kill, MAN kills with his weapons, his ideals, his behavior and attitude against one another. So who are you to judge? Who are you trying to convince that God is racist? Society or yourself? Or do you believe in God? Apparently not....hmmmm?!

Of course not. Ever people have been on top at various times. Remember, during the European dark ages, Islam spread across the world spreading stability and justice.

Too, there were great African Empires, Carthage, Egypt, Mali, Ethiopia, etc... And many Africans lived in relative peace and harmony before colonization.

All peoples are kings and all peoples are slaves. God is no respecter of persons. Try reading the Bible before judging what you don't believe in.

"For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial. But in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him" Acts 10:34,35

So - no, God isn't a racist.

Man suffers because of inherited sin, imperfection and death due to Adam's sin. God is allowing this to continue until the time is right for his King, Christ Jesus to take over the rulership of the Earth.

It is only a matter of time.

God is not a racist. Read the Bible people. Have you ever heard the song Jesus Loves the Little children? That song was based on what the bible said.

Perhaps you shall know more about God before declaring him a racist. You judge too much by material means, indeed. God gave all to live in harmony, I guess it's just our sins that the rich doesn't share to the poor, isn't it? Get my point? God is not wealth. If you do care for their sufferings, go and help them. But I daresay that it isn't God's fault, after all. You shall know all after experiencing Him. God bless you. =)

Oh, you poor priveledged fool. Wait until you discover that bleached white flour causes cancer, that margerine causes diabetes and that man-made sugar and pharmaceuticals cause rampant candida in your entire digestive tract which eventually lead to hundreds of types of cancer and also diabetes and then look at the health landscape of the US. We have disease and camoflauged famine. If your pancreas doesn't know you're eating because it's clogged, you may as well not be.
I say God exists and is crossing his arms snickering at your snickering.
God made so many people so they could interact with and take care of each other.
God didn't neglect us, we did.

no not at all that is if you believe that there's a god; if not you need'nt ask this question.
"white" people have it all because god wants the white people to reach out and help the "non-white people". understand this and make good use of what you have rather than discriminating between colours.
god does not judge humans on the basis of their colour. it's their deeds that are moe important.
you see he's not like humans.
