"You cannot blame God, God has an answer for everything"?

Question

The above noted quote was one of the replies I got in another question related to God and religions...

Isn't it wonderful to have a one size fits all answer like this one where you can dismiss just about anything and everything?

I have been to tons of funerals... Always the same answers when the dead person died accidently or too early "It was God's wish" - "God has a reason" - "God has a plan for each and everyone of us", etc...

Look around at all the social and enviromental destruction, the madness, the killing, the loss of millions of innocent lives, etc... ALL PART OF GOD'S OVERALL PLAN!

Well, I cannot force people to believe or not believe, but I for one thinks God is nothing more than a legend that was cleverly or accidently invented to control the mass back when illeterate and ignorant people we common.

Yet, here we are year 2007 and the legends are still used to control the gullibles... and there's no shortage of them?

What do you think?

Since this is not likely to sit well with the bullible believers... they will resort to another "golden" "can't fail" answer: You have to have FAITH!

Sorry can't!

Answer 1

and thats why i became atheist

Answer 2

I have been to tons of funerals... Always the same answers "when the dead person died accidently or too early"

I notice you say that a person dies "too early," as if you know that person is supposed to live longer and was cheated. Also, you say: "Look around at all the social and enviromental destruction, the madness, the killing, the loss of millions of innocent lives, etc... ALL PART OF GOD'S OVERALL PLAN! "

It seems to me that you're bitter about the violence and destruction in the world, and you cannot accept that this is how it is supposed to be. Much of this is not "God's" doing at all, but Man's. (If one assumes a God is there to be blamed or given credit). Men and women kill and destroy; some may claim to do it in God's name, but it is still the people who do it. God may be their excuse, but the people themselves should take responsibility sometimes. An accident or disease cannot perhaps be prevented by people, but does it do any good to shake one's fist and scream "why???" Some people use God for just this purpose, to scream at the perceived injustice of life and death. But if you posit an omnipotent being, then it is short-sighted to believe that that being would be concerned ONLY with the welfare of one sector of the population, i.e., humans. It is possible that humans, being unable or unwilling to grasp that they are not the most important thing in the universe, decided that their God would be benevolent, rather than fair (mercy and grace are good examples here), and that Man would place himself in the hands of this being that he perceives to be acting in his best interests. Thus, when the inevitable happens (the universe functioning properly), the faithful man says it is part of God's plan, and the faithless (but nominally Christian) man says God is to blame. It allows Man to push off responsibility for his own actions and understand the inconsistencies of life and death in terms of a conceivable being that has his interests in mind. It saves Man from feeling alone and unloved, so it is necessary, if one is to maintain faith, that one accepts the bad as "part of God's plan," or else Man is dangling alone in the cosmos, inconsolably lonely. It is understandable, really, on a purely conceptual level.

Answer 3

Wow that's a WHOLE lot of writing not to have a real question anywhere within. You do realize you hit the "Question" and not the "Answer" button don't you?

If that's really what you believe go with that, but why do you feel the need to tear christians down for what they believe?

Where does this need from atheists to minister the doctrine of atheism come from? You're just as much a proselyte as any of the most obnoxious fundamentalists on here, and you don't even realize it.

Your dogma might be different, but you are exactly the same as they are in terms of your modus operandi and your spitting, hateful rancor.

And Shadower, what can I say? YOU'RE RIGHT.

The next question you should ask yourself is; WHY?

God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God.

God does not reason evil and suffering; He in basic terms does not dodge it. this is for many motives. One; it may convey people to help ( for eg. a organic catastrophe; they are in a position to fundraiser to help those suffered from it.) If for eg. somebody had diabetes kind one, the sufferer and the chums and family members will study something from it; ie a thank you to handle the ailment ( like what to do in the event that they have a diabetic difficulty.) it is likewise to objective peoples faith in god.

Answer 8

Sure God can seem like a myth... But I have had too many experiences in my life that testify that there is a God for me not to believe. Its more than just an idea in your head you convince yourself is true, you FEEL its true! When you come across that feeling its almost as if nothing else matters. I know its an overwhelming idea to believe in God, but I do; No one can change your mind but you (I'm not saying you're crazy for not, just that you have to make that decision for yourself)

Answer 9

Parents and churchs are always brainwashing people into believing something religious to keep them under their control. What better way than to make them scared?
There is no god, and I wish people today would stop being so stupid. Most of us have evolved our thinking into realizing the truth. But there are still those that haven't evolved.

Answer 10

You really can't blame God for anything. Life is what you make of it. Sure, it's hard and you will make mistakes. Others will do immoral or bad stuff and you have no control how it effects you, but you have one choice.

Do you live through with God, or without.

Answer 11

When you stand before God on Judgment day and that day is coming much sooner than you think, and you cop the plea that you just didn't think He is real, He will say to you, "You have no excuse, for the proof of me is everywhere." Then He will cast you into hell and seal the door shut forever and ever. You will be separated from God and all that is good. From your miserable vantage point in hell, you will be able to see the saved being pampered and living in the mansions He has prepared for us. You will be crying and gnashing your teeth as you rue the day you decided to deny God. You will try to span the chasm that separates you, but you will not be able too.

Hurry! You are not promised another moment. Read the Holy Bible and find out how to stay out of hell. For when you have breathed your last breath, it will be too late!!!
