Do ANYTHING without human intervention?
If it's gods will to cure the sick, why does he choose to do it through doctors, instead of faith alone?
If god's will is for his church to have power, water, and telephone service, why does he need electricity, water, and phone service from human run utility companies?
If god meant for the whole world to know about him, why does he need people to tell other people about him?
If god wants to forgive you for your sins, why does he need to have his "son" be killed by humans?
Why can't god do any of this stuff WITHOUT human intervention? Is he powerless to do so, or is he too lazy to do so? Or does he just not care?
No, I don't believe in any gods, I've done the research and know that god is pure speculation, and nothing more. I'm just interested in the stories religious people tell themselves to reconcile the reality of these things with the theology they've been taught. Please, feel free to share your thoughts.

Honestly?
I don't know. I read the bible and see how God directly interacted with humans and did things by his own power.
I don't know why God stopped that level of interaction. It would be interesting to know why that is within the realm of belief.

I am not a Holy Man, nor do I pretend to be. I do know, though, that one cannot prove or disprove the existence of God. You choose not to believe in Him, while I choose to believe in Him. Let's leave it at that and agree to disagree. To each their own. No need to try to bash those that believe in God.

We lived in a place without want. A perfect home. I am here to mature and be tested. Life is not perfect. But I know joy because of sorrow. Those who comforted me are of God. If I can comfort another, I will be like God.

Why are you looking at God through the references of a Christian?
