God? real? can't be

How can god b l if real if he lets all these bad things happen to people that dont deserve it ?!?

It one of many things in Christianity that doesn't make sense. Free will answer doesn't make sense. If God created all things and evil is an actual being, both accepted ideas of Christianity then why did God create evil?

If he was real why can't he show us real proof?

According to the bible, which is accepted by Christianity, Jesus appeared to hundreds after his resurrection so obviously that didn't effect their free will. So Christianity's own book completely destroys that's excuses. I only use the bible here to illustrate a point. The bible is not reputable source.

I don't think God actually exist. There is no real proof of God, but there is a mountain of evidence that points to there being no God.

life is our gift from god, our gift to god is what we become.

Do your own research and find the answer yourself.

people bring bad things upon other people not god

**If he was real why can't he show us real proof?**

B/c he wants us to have faith and if you dont well thats fine.

So this doesnt get into a huge argument, lets just leave it at this:
Anybody can choose to believe in what they want. Nobodys stopping you. Dont let others try to get you to change your mind. whether you're lutheran, catholic, jewish, etc,. dont let others criticize you and dont you criticize others...ok?

And we did NOT come from monkeys! I don't care what any scientist says to try and prove it otherwise. Those scientists are nothing more than nerdy little boys and girls who couldnt get a date or have a normal conversation with a human if their lives depended on it who, every once and a while, have an idea they think they can prove.

wow what a show of ignorance.

It is nlocnil who is ignorant. Evolution is not observable or testable. If it is please tell where they have observed it or tested it. It is not science.

So, you are saying that God owes us something?

He gave us life, and everything that it takes to sustain it.

But, you want more???

If he owes you more... why does he?

On what basis?

What if anything do you owe him?

***Sorry that is not evolution because the species of insect stays the same species of insect after it develops resistance.***

I'm curious where you get that definition of evolution. Evolution is not defined in biology as one species changing into another one. It is a change in the genetic composition of a population. This happens constantly. When species develop new traits based on the emergence of new genotypes, evolution is taking place.

I believe its a test in faith just like what happended in the garden of eden
although I do believe in god you atheists bring up many valid points 2 question his existence so therefore I have resopect 4 that
I believe not evrything should b taken 2 literal in the bible
and neither should those theories like evolution or the big bang
evrything happens 4 a reason
why is it that their isnt another life sustaining planets within light years of our own
or that our race has become the most dominant species in the world
why are we given the gift of intelligence over other specis in the animal kingdom
I dont believe its pure coincedencebut dats my personal opinion

In my opinion - he's not real at all. He's just a made up being that used to be used to explain how things work and teach morals. Now that we have science and we are learning how things came about - it seems pretty silly to still believe in it.

He has given everyone free will and you yourself admit it that he's there.You said 'He'

My point exactly. Chrisitians will try to find there way around this question but theres isnt any real way to get out of it!

I can't speak for God (as I don't actually believe in him), but from what I understand about the concept of God is that people were created to live their own lives and he is more or less taking a back seat to allow people to do so (I'm accepting corrections without offence).

However, this is why I believe in Karma and rebirth. The things that happen to us today are directly related to the things we have done in a past life - that's why bad things happen to good people...it's our just desserts, so to speak.

but its all silly , how could a man creat everi thing in 7 days or what ever he did lol :S

it makes no sense

I think you're taking things a little too literally.

I don't believe in God, but I have done my research and came to the decision that suits me best.

If you really want to say he doesn't exist, perhaps you should at least look into the God-concept so you can approach your decision with a little more knowledge.

Agreed with ichibanarky:

It's fine to not believe, there is nothing wrong with that as I am an atheist myself, although you should really research a religion more before you just write it off.

If rebirth is true then it definatly isnt just. If it's true then it wasnt you who wronged last time but its YOU whos being punished now. Not saying I dont believe in it I, think I might even believe.

Im not saying I believe in God or I dont, im undecided. Theres got to be something else out there- this unviese is so big! But then thats verging on are aliens real which is another story( I believe they are)

If there are any gods out there, they are not intervening in events here on earth.

If rebirth is true then it definatly isnt just. If it's true then it wasnt you who wronged last time but its YOU whos being punished now.

That's not how it works.

If you have done something wrong in a past life (let's say murder, for example), then the punishment will come to you in a future life, perhaps this one, maybe even the next. This is why even though you may be a good person in this life, bad things keep happening - you have to pay retribution for what was done in the past.

Karma works both ways, though. The good things that have been done in the past lead to good things happening in the future.

Gah, not this again.

Look God is the real shizz. Why he he lets these horrible event's happen you ask? Well, when he created everything, it was perfect. 100% of the population was at good heart. everyone had good morals, and no crime ever happened. ever.

Till now, there is racism, hatred, murder, suicide, war, molestation (shall I continue?)

By the way, in response to demii, their response was,

but its all silly , how could a man creat everi thing in 7 days or what ever he did

HE'S NOT HUMAN! WHY DO YOU THINK HE'S CALLED GOD?!

So take this quote into consideration. If you've done everything right, people will be sure you haven't done anything at all.
