Why God permits wickedness..the argument and counter logic

by wherehasmyhairgone in

when i was a pioneer i used to get the comment a lot, as i am sure most here have.. my stock answer was the analogy.... wt 2002 10/1 page 7 as an example.

imagine a father allowing his child to go thru a painful operation in-order to get better...hence why god permits suffering.

anyway i used to trot this out without any counter arguments.. even when i left, it still seemed a reasonable explanations, then something clicked.

Interesting wherehasmyhairgone.

Imagine a father allowing his child to go thru a painful operation in-order to get better...

I always thought a better analogy would be someone dropping their dog off on the freeway 100 miles from home. If the dog managed to survive and make it home maybe. just maybe it deserved another chance.

The beautiful, beautiful 'Theory of Evolution'.

by nicolaou in

amongst billions of galaxies each containing billions of stars with their families of planets, it only had to happen once - genesis.

not by the hand of god but through sheer statistical inevitability with, perhaps, some anthropic good luck thrown in.. from that point on there was no stopping it.

natural selection made best use of the variations that mutation threw up and billions of years later .

why do some men have only 3 inches?

Sweetstuff this phenomenon has resulted in countless companies evolving to help increase penis size using pills and lotions, although their ability to spam email has noticeably decreased.

Jehovah's Witnesses to share city site

Former Brigadier Hall in Syracuse will serve six county congregations.

Six Jehovah's Witnesses congregations from around Onondaga County will be housed at a site under construction at the former Brigadier Hall in Syracuse.

Volunteers are renovating the building at 1860 W. Fayette St., which will be called Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, said John Huckabee, city overseer for Syracuse congregations.

The building will house three auditoriums that seat 200, and the congregations will rotate services, which they call meetings.

About 800 members from churches (Kingdom Halls) in Syracuse, Eastwood, Onondaga Hill and LaFayette will meet at the new site. The Syracuse and Eastwood buildings have been sold; the other two are on the market.

"The building will be for meetings and education and to work in harmony with the Bible," Huckabee said.

The six congregations will not merge but will share the site and split expenses, said J.R. Brown, a Jehovah's Witnesses spokesman based at the branch office in New York.

"Our approach in looking after the flock is to keep them small because we do not want to lose the intimate touch a shepherd should have with sheep," he said.

Huckabee said a group of congregations in Connecticut is following a similar design to share a building.

"They say it's working out good," he said.

Last weekend, more than 400 volunteers, Jehovah's Witnesses who traveled from places including Canada and Pennsylvania, replaced the building's roof.

you can be helped, for a fee, to conquer your irrational fears.

there is a lifetime guarantee.

my question is whether the above phobia truly does put an unhealthy number of people into trauma; it is not my fear ... please check this out:.

The irony of this thread is that Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobics would steer clear of it. One of the most disturbing phobias I've seen is Arachibutyrophobia, literally a fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth. I sometimes thank my lucky stars.

anybody else into this truly wonderful british folk-rock group?

Yes I remember the Fairports well. Coincidentially was also listening to the Steeleye Span All Around My Hat album the other day, after having a vinyl session. Last year I was listening to a band that I think is US that sounded like Steeleye, but had done a Xmas carols album. Their rendition of Good King Wenceslas was being played on the radio here in the UK a lot. Can't remember their name. Wish I could.
