Imagine you're looking at a beautiful painting in a museum. Someone must have painted it. Suddenly...?

Question

Environmental terrorists release all the animals from the Brooklyn Zoo into the museum. You turn to run and hide when your tuberculosis infection flares up.
You spastically cough blood into your hand as the camels charge down the hall toward you. Just as you are trampled, a 747, hijacked by Southern Baptist Conference militants, is crashed into the museum. An engine flies through one wall of the hallway and out the other, taking out the camels.
But now the building is burning, fumes are filling the air. Explosions rock the building as you decide you would rather jump to your death than burn alive.
You jump out a window, and before you hit the ground a flock of flamingos grabs you from midair and carries you away. Unfortunately, they take you back to their home in Africa, where you get dysentary and send the rest of your short life wishing you had fallen to your death.
Isn't this proof that, even if God did create stuff, right now he couldn't care less about you?

Answer 1

Wow... That's some imagination you have. You had me already convinced after the first line. If there really was a god who cared, how could she have allowed the creation of environmental terrorists?

Answer 2

One thing people forget about when thinking about God not helping them out is that we are living in a fallen world and not a perfect world. Yes, in the perfect world God intended, that would not happen... however... in this fallen world, bad things happen to good people because Satan is out to get your to be on his side. However... God/Jesus won't ever put you in a situation you can't handle... he never said there would be happy endings, but he is there to help you if you rely on him to help you through. Granted, in this situation it would not be good, but perhaps this option was batter then dying while falling, cause maybe you would have just broken every bone in your body, not died, and then be eaten alive by a rabid beavers or something... but only to the extent that you no longer had limbs and would live as this cripple with no arms or legs!

Answer 3

Bad stuff happens. It's a fact of life. And if God did "intervene" and save you from your unprobable terror, to be consistent with interventions, he would have to remove your free will. Would you rather have a painful world (at times) and be able to do what you want or have a pain-free world and have no ability to choose your actions?

For instance, for God to "intervene," he would have to force you not to attend the museum that day, a slightly bizarre choice, from your point of view.

Answer 4

No, not at all, id say, wow, God really cares about me, cos im a sinner, yet i am forgiven because of Jesus. Nothing I could ever face, would come even close to what he did for me on that there wooden cross.

Answer 5

The Brooklyn Zoo? the only zoo in Brooklyn is the tiny Prospect Park Zoo, which has very small, no longer very frightening, animals. Do you advise the Bronx Zoo? No museums close to the Bronx Zoo. (the prospect Park Zoo actual IS close to the Brooklyn Museum.)

Answer 6

No. It just proves you like "imagining" all kinds of senseless scenarios to try to prove to yourself and others God doesn't care when you are RIGHT in one point. He DOESN'T care about "imaginary scenarios" which question his abilities that come from delusional persons for he is too busy handling the problems of REALITY........

Answer 7

Wow, you must write comedies huh?

God is more than you can imagine. To get a clearer picture of Him, read the whole bible. See if you can even understand it.

Answer 8

No; you've still got a chance to change something, starting with that death wish, for example. ("Short" is a relative term....)

Answer 9

I have days like that all the time but yes, that's pretty much the case.

Answer 10

Yes. This story is unequivicable proof of whatever.
