Why Does God Allow........... (page 2)

Agreed. The WT often points out that scientists cannot explain human aging. They bring this up to support their idea that man was originally created to live forever. They fail to mention that animals age too. Are animals sinners?

I agree with Simon. Beings that don't exist are known for letting all kinds of things to happen.

I KNOW THE ANSWERS! LISTEN TO ME AND BELIEVE! The reason for all the suffering is that God has let himself go. He started out simply smoking pot (look at the platypus and the dodo bird) but it has lead to more hard core drugs. He's laid off of acid, but he can't seem to kick the special K and crystal meth. His mind is always on his next fix. We're on our own folks and will be until the big G checks himself into the nearest Betty Ford clinic.

...he is a fictional character who doesn't exist!
IMHO

Now Simon, Simon...!
to make such a BOLD Statement as that, reflects little, if ANY humility.

Have you made SURE God doesn't exist?

Have you escaped the surly bonds of earth, and looked the whole Universe over, in every corner?

Have you broken through this space/time continuum and searched other dimensions to come up with your, errr
"humble" opinion?

TT

...and another thing-
looking at the references to God above, the ones trashing God,
why is God always referred to as a "he" in these instances?

And talk on this forum of the Big Ol' Mean "Sky Daddy" doing this atrocity and that...?

Why can't it be the Big Bad Giant Space BITCH, the "Sky Mommy", doing all this mean stuff to humankind?

I think all this talk of God as a Nasty, Abusive "Sky Daddy" is VERY SEXIST!

And Satan... Satan the Devil ALWAYS gets pinned with the male gender.
I think Satan may well be a Feminine Deity.
A "her".

Like "jehovah-Of-The-Watchtower"... a "he"?
NOOoooo!
The Tower Goddess is a Malevolent Feminine Deity who is the Foul-Mooded Hunter (known as "Diana" among her MANY aliases) who will
fling an arrow at your ass, or else sic her Pack of Mean Nasty Bitch Dogs on you... just for entertainment!

And don't even get me started about Kali.

Tallyman,

why is God always referred to as a "he" in these instances?

Not always, but more often than not it is the males of the various species on this planet that exercise power and a predilection for dominance. It is not surprising then that "God" is spoken of as "he" since God also has power and dominates over the created world.

Why blame God for the bad stuff? Most of it is self inflicted by humans.

because we are his children and he is our father. In human families fathers are supposed to take care of their kids. If a human father sees his 4 year old about to cross a 5 lane interstate highway, he tries to save him. He wont let the child wander off on its own to teach him a lesson about how he cant take care of himself.

In the same way it's a very valid question of why, if god exsists and he lvoes us. does he allow terrible things like the holocaust to happen when it is perfectly within his power to stop it. If he allows something to happen, it is the same as if he did it himself. If i allow a murder to take place that was within my power to stop and I do nothing, i am bloodguilty and held accountable in court.

We are mere children to god, like newborn babies are to us but worse. So why does he allow us to try to govern ourselves and allow countless innocent people to die? Either he is a psycho like hitler or he dosent exsist or he dosent give a damn about us.

Have you made SURE God doesn't exist?

What is there to show that god (male or female) does exist? Are you absolutely sure that I don't have unicorns in my back yard? Have you come over and checked and looked around to see? Why do they allow such horrible things to happen in the world? I mean, I have this book written thousands of years ago by people whose technology is nothing compared to ours today saying that the unicorns inspired them to write it and that the unicorns are all powerful. How can you be sure they're not?

What is there to show that god (male or female) does exist?

Oh.
Well, see, I have faith that God does exist.

I am real, real sensitive.

I sense Greater, Larger Intelligences than what I see and sense
surrounding me in this small, shadowy, fragile world we live in.

I sense a Vast Reality, a Super Reality beyond this world.
But that's just me.
I would NOT be DOGMATIC about it or anything, you know, like the Watchtowercult, says so and so is so.

Are you absolutely sure that I don't have unicorns in my back yard?

No.
But, then, I have not DOGMATICALLY challenged that unicorns do NOT exist in your back yard... you know, that Black & White Dogmatism
that the Watchtowercult employs?

I'll tell you this... I don't know you, but I "sense" that you do not
have unicorns in your back yard, but I could be wrong. I mean, I wouldn't be DOGMATIC and say they Do NOT exist in your back yard.

Have you come over and checked and looked around to see?

Ah. Again, I have not challenged their existence, so why should I
come over and inspect your turf? When you said "see", were you referring to your eyeballs, or a higher perception of some kind?

The Unicorns COULD be invisible and you could not see them with your eyes.

Why do they allow such horrible things to happen in the world?

Whaaaaa...?? The unicorns I'm familiar with, from mythology (lot of mythology rooted in fact, not fiction) are gentle creatures.
I'm not aware of any Unicorns responsible for any ATROCITIES in the world.
Are you?

I mean, I have this book written thousands of years ago by people whose technology is nothing compared to ours today saying that the unicorns inspired them to write it and that the unicorns are all powerful.

What the hell Unicorns are you referring to?
Unicorn-inspired Writ?
Please Explain!

Now, Minotaurs... THOSE were some Bad-Assed Freaks!
Bio-Engineered Mutant Monsters.
Up to NO GOOD!

How can you be sure they're not?

Hey man, I was speaking of God.

You brought the horny ponies into the picture.

LOve, Tallyman

There is no GOD! I agree with Simon he is a character of fiction.
