So we have heard of an earthquake today, and possible tsunami...and immediately I am told
" well we must be close". It is as if the witnesses are so happy that another tragedy has occurred! Don't they see that this just makes god out to look even crueler?
why would an earthquake make God look cruel?
People dying and all...
he could prevent this from happening if he wanted....
why would an earthquake make God look cruel?
Because he has no excuse for not preventing earthquakes..
He designed the earth in such a way as to make violent deaths from erthquakes and tsunamis inevitable.
why would an earthquake make God look cruel? - emeth
Because he ignores the prayers of the suffering innocent victims of the earthquake when he should have prevented it. For these victimes the end of the world has come. They experience their own Armaggedon but there is no paradise in sight, they have lost homes, family, jobs and have to start from scratch. Kate xx
that is a great link thanks cofty!
Interesting thread indeed....
Here is a link to a summary of the thread...
I will do a new summary eventually.
Thank you Cofty!
Wolfman - are you proposing that god was too stupid to design a planet with the benefits of tectonics without the dangers?
The solution is trivially simple, we discussed it on the tsuanmi thread.
From your link..
The main benefits of plate tectonics accumulate slowly and globally over the ages. In contrast, its local upheavals can produce regional catastrophes, as the recent Indian Ocean quake made clear
The advantages of plate tectonics would still happen if the plates glided under each other smoothly. Earthquakes and tsunamis happen because the process is badly designed and they get stuck, building up pressure for thousands of years before suddenly shifting and killing people.
If god designed that he is an idiot.
