  God's Socio-Economic Plan Upon his Return

  i've heard a lot about how bad humans are at governing themselves and how we need god to do it for us, but not much about specifics on what life would be like under god's rule.

  so let me concede for the moment that jesus is coming back immanently.

  the wait is finally over, people are shocked (some anyway), but then they get used to life now that the planet is governed by god.

  God's purpose? ...Anyone?

  after hearing various (superficial) proofs for bible tales, justifications for various bible teachings, the immediate invisibility of god and questionable evidence of his existence, the ever present 'immmanent armageddon', the past six or so thousand years of human suffering and apparent abandonment by god, i am left wondering a pretty simple question that i don't think i've actually heard anyone ask let alone try to answerwhat was god's purpose in creating 'adam and eve' anyway?

  are we like pets that are being disciplined over the previous six thousand years?

  or simply under the care of a delinquent owner?

  God and justice

  by Aequitus in

  what is the justice in condemning humanity for the apparent sin of eve, transferring the crime of one to another, or the entirety?

  where is the justice in exterminating unbelievers (most of whom may simply be unaware of 'the truth')?

  people seem to value freedom as an implicit good--how is god's rule not authoritarian?

  why are some born with disease, deformity, etc, and not others?

  do jehovah's witnesses believe that the earth is 6000 years old, or 4.5 billion?

  and if adam and eve were the first people on the earth, how would the multitude of races come about from the inbreeding of adam and eve's children?

  and during this time, people became wildly dispersed across the planet and adopted various other religions.

  i was visited by jehovah's witnesses three times, and i decided to attend a meeting of theirs (which was this morning).

  i had brought a page of questions because i was expecting more of a discussion.

  this was not the case and i left after two hours.
