These et atheists or so self centered they use a tragedy effecting many people, some whom are very likely believers to start and participate in a another ridiculous illogical hate religion thread. good work. Obama has much better sense than you all. He may not believe either... but at least he shows some thought. 9 out of 10 americans believe in God.
Just what is it EXACTLY about my belief in a creator that gets your panties in a wad? free future brass cheezewhiz(arrow) stew
Quote from RCG Trader: God interfered with Man's free will the day he kicked them out of the garden. You do remember why he kicked them out, right?[/QUOTE] I know a hell of lot better than to think you are correct. This type of conclusion is what you get from an inferior IQ. Like I said, what is that BLT?
Evil = absence of good. Do you know what good is? Evil is what destroys that. It's all over the natural world, if you study physics (namely, the principle of entropy). God created man with free will, and gave him a choice (several times) to follow God's Law (the 10 commandments) or go his own way. He chose the latter, of which God warned in the very beginning "you shall surely die", but that is all part of giving man free will. It is appointed to man to die once, then be resurrected to judgement. How would man ever understand the consequences of Absence of Good (sin) if he is permitted to live forever? Death is the sum total of all his life's sins, the humbling moment, like when you blow up a leveraged futures account, when you realize you really didn't quite have it all figured out, despite your pride. And woman was created from man for man, to be a helper comparable to him. :eek: *edit - based on Obama's historical slant, perhaps he's leaving the name of god out of it, so as not to offend anyone who worships the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), JHM, or any other one.
EXACTLY? well, it's irrational. For instance, you seem to believe anyone who questions it has their panties in a wad.

Any God who is supposed to be allowing free will by giving a choice to do good or evil, while giving no choice at all to innocent victims but to have evil done to them, is not worth Its salt.
