Greetings,
I working in an old peoples home and I can understand that after a long life they die, but not in this horrible way of not knowing their family lost somewhere in their mind.
Worse than that is the thought of children dying it angers me extremely that a God of love would allow this on the basis of his own ego!!!

At the risk of joining you in being flamed by Christians, DITTO and AMEN!!!!
I can hear the excuses and rationalizations already.
One of my primary philosophies in life since leaving the Borg is this: if you can help someone YOU DO IT. Otherwise you're a jerk.
Contrary to popular church belief, God's not in charge of the world. He didn't save the apostles and he's not going to save anybody else. People who believe in faith healing, angels protecting pioneers, etc. are deluded. God doesn't even grant what we ask for in prayers, so don't bother. Prayer is a form of worship, not a grocery list; remember that. Don't ask God to find you a job that works with your meeting nights. Don't expect miracles just because you're a good person or do what you think you're supposed to do. There is no reward in this life. This life sucks and it's not fair; that's the whole point: Without God running things, this is what we get.
Churches have a couple of major things wrong that screw up everybody's understanding:
First of all, Adam and Eve were created. We were born - born of imperfection, even. We are not hand-made by God and that's why some people are born with horrible defects, or with diseases.
Nothing here is God's will. It's all random and the odds are against us. God doesn't make us be born and he doesn't make us die. He doesn't make us better when we're ill and he doesn't test us with problems. He's completely hands-off. This isn't ancient Israel and there are no apostles who will be granted whatever they ask for in Jesus' name.
Completely agree....I want nothing to do with that god. Doesn't exist but still.
*cue the christian soldiers*
Sounds like god is pretty useless then? If he exists then existing is all he does.
Greetings,
T he Christians and God have always got an excuse, the Bible is such a big book you can read anything into it rather like any religious book, here's a thought let's get rid of them all and give mankind a chance!

And now for something completely different:
Umm.. how does one post a video link... let me try that again:
Don't worry. Godrulz will be along shortly to set you straight as to why god is justified in killing babies.
