stu??!!!REEE BUTT! you are so arrogant to PRESUME to know God? but i don't?? what is source of your arrogance?
"waaa waaa I'm ready" cries the insolent jerk demanding God jump through hoops to meet His demands for his benefit. I ask you what God (aka omnipotent being) would feel compelled to respond?
Hmm...lets test that theory out shall we? Lets say you wanted to do something bad. Let say, you wanted to look at porn on the computer. God decides to stop that evil (because he said "whoever looks a woman with lust has committed adultary in his heart") so in order to keep you from doing the sin of adultary, he takes your eyes from you. Now you can never do that type of evil sin for the rest of your life. Do you feel better if God does that to you so that type of sin will not happen? How about someone cuts you off in traffic and you get angry at him and decide to give him the finger. God instantly takes your middle fingers so you cant do that. Do you like that better? God gives us all choices. We can choose good or evil with the only consequences being what our fellow man will do in turn to us. You say you want God to stop all the evil, but you certainly dont want to live by his good standards by force do you? Or maybe you think that God should just inject some kind of happiness into us, so that we are never hurt, sad or feel pain. But if he did that...how would we know what happiness and joy is? You cant have that without suffering.
We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further. â Richard Dawkins
Dawkins really goes out of his way to prove he's a moron and it does not reflect kindly on his followers. Maybe he should grasp childrens tales before he spouts off as town idiot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Men_and_an_Elephant
Your argument below assumes that God is bound by space and time... God, not bound by space and time can be simultaneously willing to prevent evil, capable of preventing evil, unwilling to prevent evil, and incapable of preventing evil... Your dualistic mind is so lost when it comes to discussions of the transcendental...
