Now that Obama is Pres, we should go into Iran because he isn't a cowboy and everyone will know that have good intentions because Obama is not a fundalmentalist hater. Then, we would control everything from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan.

The quick answer to Min’s question is: to allow a greater good to come out of it. The difficulty that people have is that they want an answer for the here and now regarding a God that transcends time and space.

Oh I absolutely believe there is a god and I absolutely hate the mother fucker.
As you clearly have an axe to grind, it is too much to expect any examination of any argument that could possibly shed a positive light on God. I don’t go to haters to get info on another person. Their info is always skewed. If you don’t want anything from anyone, then what is your problem?
Your argument about river blindness originated with Sir David Attenborough. Given the noise you have made about your supposed research and your reliance on his argument, I overestimated your knowledge of Sir David. I will try not to do that again.
Reading books from “all relgious paradigms”? Have you actually read of EVERY paradigm? It is hard for me to take this seriously. Further, it is a waste of time trying to read a book on Buddhism in order to understand Christianity. Maybe I should read John Calvin in order to understand Zoroastrianism? You do know who John Calvin is, right? I don’t want to overestimate your knowledge again.

…I have my own spiritual path that did not come from any human or any book.
Are you human? Or did your path come from aliens?
“Happy” Guy said:
I have done scholarly research on many aspects of the Bible, God, religion, etc.
Given your extremely over simplistic view of God and a lack of anything resembling “scholarship” in the style or content of your posts; pfffft! How ‘bout posting some of your “ scholarly research”?
So, just wondering here, what is a loving God supposed to do with you when you die? Being a loving God, is He going to force you to be with someone you hate - for eternity? Maybe He should just let you go, but that wouldn’t be loving, would it? I don’t see a loving God giving you the ultimate disrespect and annihilating you. Gee, what is a loving God to do?

Our inablility to know God's reason doesn't mean that He doesn't have one. It simply means that we don't know what it is. We would have to be God to know all possible reasons. My dog doesn't understand why I had him nuetered (testicular cancer) but that doesn't mean there was no reason. I know three blind Christians. They are content that God has a reason. They have a faith that God will make it right. People from Africa tend to understand that life is what it is. Funny how those doing the most whining come from rich western countries.
God is love. That you want God to pay you off with life in paradise on earth is your hang up. That you wish to get your theology from Sir David Attenborough is your problem. You would do well to read works from people that have training in theology. This does not include crap from the WTS.

Many of you are assuming the following propositions:
a. God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good, and therefore should have the will and the ability toprohibit or precludeevil and/or suffering from ever eventuating.
b. Such a god would be obligated by His/Her/Its/Their ethics to prohibit or preclude evil and suffering from ever eventuating (i.e. there is no adequate reason for it to be allowed to eventuate/continue);
c. Evil and suffering ostensibly occur.
Therefore, the god described in proposition A does not, in fact, exist.
For anyone to state that there is no adequate reason, they would have to know EVERY possible reason. To know that, they would have to be God. As we are not God, we cannot know every possible reason. Our ignorance, of God’s rationale, does not give us reason to act as if we are not ignorant.
Yes, the WTS picture of God is false, but that doesn’t lay false the existence of God.

Jehovah does not live by his own rules
by sinis ini find it mind numbing that jw's and religios in particular never see this.
jehovah is the patron god of the jews.
yet he treats them like utter shit, worse than slaves.

First, they were to look at the serpent, not worship it. They took back land that was rightfully theirs in the first place. The caananites were sacrificing their own children and murdering Isrealites among other things. They were given 400 yers to stop and plenty of time to leave ahead of the Isrealites. But then it is too much to expect that you would actually look into the context of what went on.

George Bush - more babies for Africa?
by sammielee24 insirakano, uganda at age 45, after giving birth to 13 children in her village of thatch roofs and bare feet, beatrice adongo made a discovery that startled her: birth control.. "i delivered all these children because i didn't know there was another way," said adongo, who started on a free quarterly contraceptive injection last year.
surrounded by her weary-faced brood, her 21-month-old boy clutching at her faded blue dress, she added glumly: "i fear we are already too many in this family.".
on a continent where fewer than one in five married women use modern contraception, an explosion of unplanned pregnancies is threatening to bury adongo's family and a generation of africans under a mountain of poverty.. promoting birth control in africa faces a host of obstacles patriarchal customs, religious taboos, ill-equipped public health systems but experts also blame a powerful, more distant force: the u.s. government.. under president george w. bush, the united states withdrew from its decades-long role as a global leader in supporting family planning, driven by a conservative ideology that favored abstinence and shied away from providing contraceptive devices in developing countries, even to married women.. bush's mammoth global anti-aids initiative, the president's emergency plan for aids relief, poured billions of dollars into africa but prohibited groups from spending any of it on family planning services or counseling programs, whose budgets flat-lined.. the restrictions flew in the face of research by international aid agencies, the u.n. world health organization and the u.s. government's own experts, all of whom touted contraception as a crucial method of preventing births of babies being infected with hiv, the virus that causes aids.. the bush program is widely hailed as a success, having supplied lifesaving anti-retroviral drugs to more than 2 million hiv patients worldwide.. however, researchers, africa experts and veteran u.s. health officials now think that pepfar also contributed to africa's epidemic population growth by undermining efforts to help women in some of the world's poorest countries exercise greater control over their fertility.. "it was a huge missed opportunity to integrate hiv/aids and reproductive health in ways that made sense," said jotham musinguzi, a ugandan physician who heads the africa office of partners in population and development, an intergovernmental group that promotes sexual health in developing countries.. in some countries that received substantial pepfar funding, such as uganda and kenya, health surveys have found that fertility rates remained constant or even rose slightly over the past decade.

Yes, Sammie, everyone should be on welfare. The ills of the country started they day Boosh stole the election. Our education system is failing because our children are too stupid to go to the store and buy condoms. We must make a law that every one must always have two condoms on them at all times. That will cure the problem without any Federal spending. It is also a jobs program because the condom makers will have to hire more help. Win-win for everyone!
As a matter of care and concern for black babies, I am with you! As I said, I am now anti-birth.

VERY DEEP QUESTIONS for elect/annointed/those with insight/holy spirit/etc
by EndofMysteries inonly need answer if you have already researched, come to an understanding, or have seen this and currently figuring it out.
if you have no idea what i'm talking about, then question doesn't apply to you as i feel it's information that is only understood at the right time and to those allowed to get understanding of it.. ***if you would like to give me some answers, but feel the information can't be posted publically or your restricted in whom to give it to, feel free to message me directly.
that's also why i am asking these questions in a way in which only you would understand, but i do not know how to find you otherwise.. .
