Sophia: If he existed he'd be a prick for doing it.

ServentOfGod: Because if he exists, he is responsible for everything. He made everything and can change anything in an instant. If he doesn't choose to, he's responsible.

Please don't talk about yourself like that. I like you, no matter WHAT level of thinking skills you possess.
I'll try to make this answer simple for your sake.
Have you ever heard of something called DNA?
It's the foundational building block of every living thing. Encoded within the DNA is everything that a living being will be. In humans, it determines the size of the nose, the length of the arms, the total intelligence the person can attain to if they put all their effort into it, etc, etc, etc.
In the beginning, the DNA of the first couple was perfect, but because of sin, the DNA slowly became corrupted.
Over time, human DNA has gotten so bad that babies are born with such things as spinal biffadah (spelling?) a hole in the heart or long, water on the brain, and other physical and mental "handicaps".
If Adam and Eve had obeyed, this downward DNA spiral would have never gotten its start. If Cain had obeyed God and NOT killed his brother Abel, it would not have gotten a strong toe-hold into the human race.
Etc, etc, etc.
The question I have for YOU is - what are YOU doing about YOUR sin? Are you letting it continue? Or are you allowing God to take it away and nail it to the cross with Jesus when He died there for you?
In other words, are you part of the solution? Or are you still part of the problem?

I echo Kal's response. It would appear that when you look out at the mountains and all that God has created and when I do so we see different things. Is this possible? Not only is it possible, but it is to be expected. Let me flip the question around a bit though. If there is no empirical data to back up the existence of God, why is it that every scientist or scientific writer who even mentions the possibility of Intelligent Design is abruptly removed from the "scientific community"? If this is scientific thinking, then perhaps we are better off thinking without them. Do you understand the difference between intelligence and common sense? If you were going to fill a position and had 2 applicants, would you choose the one who rated 90% in intelligence and 10% in common sense or applicant number 2 who was rated as 10% in intelligence and 90% in common sense? Little children know there is a God before anyone has to tell them, but adults want proof. Odd how that works isn't it?

God does not handicap people with critical thinking skills. He gave us wisdom to know what is truth and how to live a more righteous way. There was a study done by doctors and scientists that showed the area of the brain which God designed us to think and grow spiritual. It is a huge area from the back of the brain, going to the middle, and reaching the front if it. It seems like a lot of people are not using that part of the brain that God gave them.
Why are people handicapping themselves??????????????????????

So, it takes critical thinking to deny that there is a God?
I guess it also takes critical thinking to say that we are here because of a cosmic accident.
I can look at the creation and rationalize that there is a creator. I would have to abandon any form of "thinking" to deny God. To me, that is a much greater leap.
add:
because of His nature and our nature, we are all destined for Hell. He has provided a way out. Himself. We were given an opportunity to CHOOSE for ourselves what we want. Eternal punishment (becuase our 2 natures are not compatible) or eternal grace. Now, that kinda goes against the robotic Christian now doesn't it? You think that that we are God's robots? No, He made us to CHOOSE to worship Him.
You choose otherwise.

To many people thinking is considered a handicap. To true Christians, we rejoice in being given critical thinking skills to practice and master.

Hmm. Is it REALLY a handicap to have critical thinking skills?

Why is everything blamed on God?
Yes he is the creator of all things but he gave free will as a gift so he does'nt force us to do anything and Satan has reign over earth and he doesn't force him to do anything either. Smart axx

one of the conditions for accepting Christ is to lose your common sense or "old self"
after that there is a bunch of mindless Zombies for Jezzus running around with sole mission of making more zombies and vampires/ werewolves and spread the plague

For the same reason he punished Adam and Eve for choosing knowledge.
...he's a tyrant that just wants mindless sheeple.
