Sunmaster Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 This is for all those people who like to post in the "Do you believe in God?" thread, asking why God allows this or that bad thing to happen. Maybe just see it as a way to unburden yourself with your question, so as not to clog up the other thread. You're welcome. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. That's why I have to scratch my head every time an atheist comes up with this question. Only atheist ask these questions! If you don't believe, what's the point in asking? And that was the reason I started this thread. For these poor confused souls to have a place to vent their frustration. A bit like handing them pen and paper to write a letter to Santa Claus. 55 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make up your mind. Do you believe in God or not? You're distorting the question and I'm pretty sure you know you are. Just in case you are actually confused... when an atheist writes "how come God gives babies disabilities", what they almost certainly mean is "if your God exists, and he is all good, all knowing and all powerful, how in the world can babies be born with disabilities." 1 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I know. ;-) It's the intention behind the question that is crucial. They don't want nor expect a proper answer. It's just a way to troll. And what do you do with a stupid troll question?

They don't want nor expect a proper answer. It's just a way to troll. And what do you do with a stupid troll question? You give a stupid troll answer, of course. No, it isn't a way to troll. It's a legitimate question to ask concerning a hypothetical god who is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good. And it puts a bug up your behind because there is no good answer. The "problem of evil" is a difficulty for many thinking people. Witness Bart Ehrman (who I'm willing to bet forgot more than you'll ever know about Christianity) on the problem of evil. https://ehrmanblog.org/bart-ehrman-on-problem-of-suffering-ucb/ It isn't really a problem with the existence of supernatural beings, hence Hinduism has no problem with this question. It is only a problem with monotheism and the above definition of the deity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fair game to troll christian nationalists who believe Trump was chosen by God.

Sunmaster Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Anyways, you guys have fun here. If anyone is up for a mature discussion, you're welcome to join the conversation in the "God thread", which is NOT just about the personal God of Christianity or religion, but goes far deeper than that.

If you had spent an equal amount of time reading the thread as you've been writing nonsense, you would have quickly found out that none of the regular posters are Christians or even religious at all, me included.
