The Issue is Not that God WANTS Us to Suffer... (page 4)

You are so violently full of shit I can smell you from Alabama, my friend.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" -Epicurus, 341–270 B.C

Questions: Imagine that I had a magic button which i could push at any time and it would give everyone food, housing, security and kill the devil and all on his side in an instant.

Just by one single push with my finger.

Now imagine I was looking into the eyes of a child slowly starving to death, or being raped, or being burned alive in an oven in Auswitz.

Is there any possible reason why i should not push that button?

So anyone know any good dead baby jokes?

I reiterate this question because it is of grave importance:

Has He not promised to intervene and straighten out this mess?

Tell me which other god has done so?

bohm

Snowbird: So its okay to let someone be tortured even though you could trivially prevent the torture in a moment, provided you eventually do something about it?

mmmm

"But judge, even though i could see the gang rape the young women, and i was a policeofficer armed with a gun, i think it was okay for me to go to 7-11 for donuts, because i would do something about it eventually! I even shouted it in her direction, im sure that offered her much comfort!"

"I was gonna go up, and end all sin, but then i got high..."

[UPDATED]

There are no innocents in God's eyes.

I think, given what He has to work with, He's done a magnificent job!

He had exactly what he created, free moral agents. If he wanted something else, he should have created it.

But, since the reality is gods are just reflections of the society that created them, it makes sense that he behaved exactly as the Israelites did.

Would that not indicate God is evil?
