  Yes Cofty that is why I pressed Eden One via his sarcasm. A good intelligent man but he cannot see the delusion in his goal post shifting belief.

  So from what has been posted it seems that athiests cannot see any evidence of a god when 250,000 people were killed by the 2004 tsunami.

  Believers on the other hand say that you need to ask god for holy spirit, then you get special knowlege(understanding) via holy spirit to "see" god's divine hand/plan above this horror.

  True?

  Ah the time zones and work make it so hard to continue points.

  Apologies Eden One that I didn't see the sarcasm in your post. I was scrolling through trying to get a clear understanding of your beliefs.

  So could you pleaes clarify this point? god does not provide his holy spirit to you in any shape, form or manner??

  Eden One

  I thank him for the spirit that guides me to wisdom, which in turn allows me to run my business in a way that I can provide for my family.

  but then Eden One said....

  If God interveines in a disaster of said magnitude, then he would be expected to act in a disaster of a smaller magnitude; then also in a little disaster; then again on personal disasters; then again in triffle situations of everyday life. Soon God would be expected to cure ingrown fingernails. If God would interveine to save the people in the asian tsunami, then others would ask fairly: What about ME? What about the people on that other volcano/flood/earthquake/ or whatever disaster ?

  So god provides you with spirit of wisdom in your business but won't provide spirit to prevent the death of 250,000 people in the 2004 tsunami? I see another Muhummad Ali foot shuffle going on....

  You have the Muhummad Ali shuffle going on with your ever changing goal posts

  You have been "hoist by your own petard" In other words scrolling through this thread highlights your confusion and illusion in your "beliefs". I'm done communicating with you as it's off topic but I will stay on the thread.

  Still waiting for a response

  PB yes all have a right to an opinion (belief).
  
  The topic is about god's inaction when a tsunami killed 250,000 people and destroyed the lives of countless others. For a person to say "just trust god" needs to be asked by nonbelievers how do you come to that conclusion and what kind of god acts this way?

  I think it needs to be separated as it has no reasonable arguement to support it.

  God knows best kind of halts the debate.

  Another as noted above

  We need to trust all of god's decisions as we trust the decisions Jesus made in the first century.
