A=B,B=C, then A=C right?

Question

If God created people, people created suffering then God is still responsible for suffering.

mel Satan is still created by God. Or do you think he created him self?

Answer 1

Funny how people confuse the (larger) logical meaning of a symbol with the (narrower) mathematical meaning. An omnipotent, omniscient creator would be responsible for everything.

Answer 2

Hey, AcidZebra found an even better equation:

"Has the mysteries of heaven been revealed to you?

Daniel 8:13 is written 200300 days divided by 360 days = 556 years, 4 months, and 19 days or (April 19, 33 AD)
Daniel 12:11 is written 100290 days divided by 360 days = 278 years, 7 months
Daniel 12:12 is written 1003530 days divided by 360 days = 2787 years, 7 months
Jesus seventy times seven
Seventy = seventy generations 70 x 40 = 2800
Seven = seven other spirits more wicked then you
2800 AD is the Final Judgment.
A TIME = 21,6 Billion years
TIMES = 1,960 years (2 each)
A HALF TIME = 980 years
1960 + 980 = 2940, Year of the Blessed 2800 AD
7 Ages, 7 Seasons, 7 Little Seasons
Each have 6 days of labor, 1 day of rest
Life
20, 40, 400, 4,000, 40,000, 400,000, 4,000,000
The Earth and the Universe
40,000,000, 400,000,000
The 10th President of the U.S. shall fall to Gog and Magog
The 10th President of the U.S. shall take office in January 2009
The Pope is the Anti-christ
The name of the beast is Legion
God of Moses is Satan. Jesus is LORD God
1960 was the end of the 6th Generation, John Kennedy was the first president, George W. Bush is the 9th
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, read the 3 temptations of Christ.
No man know the day or hour."

NOW I'm a believer!

*Yknow, the first mistake was reading on after "has the mysteries". Such awful grammar, really. "No man know the day or hour," but it seems this brightlight knows the year. Thank goodness I'm not going to be around then. And if the "God of Moses" is Satan, who created Moses?

Poor Pope. I never thought I'd say that.

I think the author of this fine piece is the cause of suffering.

Answer 3

You bet God is responsible for suffering...

He's also responsible for the thing we call free will. We can choose to do good or we can choose to do evil. Without evil, there is no choice other than God, since God is all good.

God didn't exactly create evil. He gave human beings free will, which means they had a choice. In order for them to have a choice, there had to be something other than God for them to choose between, so "not God" became an option, and that's what we call evil. You could say God created evil and possibly not get laughed at, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Answer 4

Logical fallacy. First, "created" is not an equivalence relation. If it were an equivalence relation, then it would have to satisfy "If A=B then B=A", i.e. "If God created people, then people created God."

Second, although it is true that people do create suffering, not all suffering is caused by people.

Answer 5

This would be true if people were pre-programmed like computers. Since they are free moral agents, however, this logic is flawed. This logic indicates that all parents of serial killers/rapists/vandals/etc. deserve the same punishment as their offspring because they brought them into the world. Free Will aint a campaign to get Mr. Smith outta jail, it's the difference between us and the animals...

Answer 6

Associative Law, scientific proof of God's responsibility for suffering.

Answer 7

How about this: God created EVERYTHING, including evil. Kind of a deal-breaker for the whole "God is all-good" thing.

Answer 8

If you planted a rice tree and the rice was plucked and eventually cooked by your wife. Who is reposnsible for the cooking?
Can a car manufacturer be responsible for the damages of a car which was commited by the driver?
GOD is NEVER responsible for suffering of people. Our actions come to haunt us.

Answer 9

if A=B, then B=A then A=B right? C="0"

Answer 10

According to this premise, then yes. Now turn it around to read thus: B=A, A=C, then B=C. It's quite an amazing thing, though very believable. Tragic, wouldn't you say?
