Why God? WHY?!?

[stasik50]

These questions have been pissing me off for a while, so I'm just gonna let it all out. If God is this all-knowing being, why THE HELL did he create human beings knowing they would sin? If God is this all-powerful being, why THE HELL did he not save everyone with the cross, why only the ones that come to him? If God is the creator, why THE HELL did he give us the ability to sin? If God is a merciful God, why the F**K did he do all the above things and sent all the "bad" human beings to hell? It's his damn fault!

Don't they just prove to you that everything organized religion has taught you is false? I suggests listening to other points of views instead of the naive ones it sounds like you got from a church. I suggest maybe listening to some thomas campbell interviews. An even better way would clear your mind and take a large dose of shrooms or ayhusca(sp?) or DMT. That will help you find the answers.

Don't let people on this forum tell you.

I am sort of challenging the Christian on this forum.

I am sort of challenging the Christian on this forum. Oh, I'm glad you pointed that out, as your challenge wasn't obvious. Seriously, I had no idea. I'm not just being sarcastic, I honestly had no idea. Honestly.

[Black_Eagle]

I am sort of challenging the Christian on this forum. As if that hasn't been done before! Especially in this format. To answer your questions: they're just contradictions of the whole idea of God.

The Lord works in mysterious ways, stasik50.

[grasshoppa]

As if that hasn't been done before! Especially in this format. To answer your questions: they're just contradictions of the whole idea of God. They are rather simple questions which could easily be rebutted by an apologetic. I'm pretty sure I could do a good job myself, but it's been a while since I've taken on the Christian side of any argument. He would also give a much more satisfying answer than "god works in mysterious ways". Of course the answers to some questions may raise many more.

I think the real answer to the questions is: don't worry about it. Worrying about it is not going to change anything or make your life better...

[FluBB]

well... from a christian point of view... i can give you a simple answer. God gave us free agency on this earth to prove that we deserve to come back to our heavenly father. What would be the point of a life where you come to earth and are forced to follow every law to the tee? We wouldnt learn and grow as a human being. Things like learning from our mistakes and suffering consequences, good and bad, are what make us human. God made canibus, why cant we smoke it? God made hot women. why cant we rape them? God gives us challenges every day of our lives, why must we face them? i know these questions are very different from each other.. but think about it. God gives us choices on what we should or shouldnt do. We prove to him by being obedient to his will and commandments that we want to be with him again in the hereafter. and yes... thats the simple answer.. guaranteed someone else can give a much better explanation, i dont claim to be the know it all christian by any means.

No, you're wrong. God said "lul, ima make them do bad things and yell at them to see how they twitch in Satan's pad. We're actually pretty good homeboys." Yeah, Lucifer comes over to God's house every once in a while to look at/laugh at the contradictions in the Bible and dismiss them as drunken mistakes. I hear on some Christian forums they are making the Bible a trilogy? When is 3 coming out?

"canibus" Lol, don't even get me started with cannabis. Weed is one of the reasons I think god could exist! because it is such a perfect plant and it is beneficial in so many ways... but never mind that, back to your answer, why would god need need "proof" of something?... (if he needed proof of something he wouldnt be god, god knows everything)

" but never mind that, back to your answer, why would god need need "proof" of something?... (if he needed proof of something he wouldnt be god, god knows everything) its not for gods sake, its for ours. like i said, he gave us free agency to decide what we want to make of ourselves. we are proving our willingness to serve him, or not to serve him.

If God is a merciful God, why the F**K did he do all the above things and sent all the "bad" human beings to hell? It's his damn fault! First of all God IS all-knowing. He created us to live on earth and live a good life, and in return the reward is heaven. 2nd of all-Jesus came down to die for our sins by sacrificing himself. Why would God just send Jesus down to die for us all, and then say "ok, now even if you kill someone you are coming to heaven". Please think a little on that ignorant question. 3rd-I believe he gave us the ability to sin because it is our CHOICE if we end up in heaven or hell. YOU are the only one to blame for living a bad life and sinning. If noone sinned-it would be heaven. 4th-BECAUSE THEY DID NOT LIVE A LIFE THAT SHOULD BE REWARDED. DUH. No, you're wrong. God said "lul, ima make them do bad things and yell at them to see how they twitch in Satan's pad. We're actually pretty good homeboys." Yeah, Lucifer comes over to God's house every once in a while to look at/laugh at the contradictions in the Bible and dismiss them as drunken mistakes. I hear on some Christian forums they are making the Bible a trilogy? When is 3 coming out? This is the most ignorant thing i have ever heard. Congratulations really. You are officially a dumbass.

Welcome to the forums! I see on your third post your already calling people dumbasses! You will be a welcome addition to the family!

Why THE HELL do the majority of all atheists only question the Christian God?

If God is a merciful God, why the F**K did he do all the above things and sent all the "bad" human beings to hell? It's his damn fault! First of all, "sin" and "hell" are not real. God did not make those, and if anything, they are illusory and self-created. Therefore, in the world of God there is no "fault", no-one to blame and no one to "save". All that remains is eternal love and perfection in its infinite expressions.

I must have missed the part of the Bible where it says do not smoke pot.

[[SomeGuy]]

Haha...I don't think there is one.

[DeathCell]

Thank god, lights blunt.

Here's a good hypothesis about the weed being here...It was an accident! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSH6o...eature=related

[juroara]

all of your questions are in the context of the christian bible, which is only one religion that believes in God I can answer those questions, but they aren't christian answers in short, Christianity still has a fear based relationship with the notion of God, who hates you and sends you to hell unless you worship Jesus in another religion, God gives a deeper meaning to the human being, not take away from it

[Photolysis]

This is the most ignorant thing i have ever heard. Congratulations really. You are officially a dumbass. I find it ironic and amazing that someone who believes in Bronze-age scripture and myths from primative desert-dwelling men who barely knew anything, has the audacity to call anyone a dumbass. Then again, I probably shouldn't find it too amazing.
