Why Does God Allow Evil?

ahhah .

i did not want to complicate paths thread.

although this is directed to you, ahhah, naturally i welcome comments by all who participate here.. in reference to a portion of what i posted to seven:.

I think there is a difference between a "God" and a "creator". In my mind the word "god" brings with it a connotation of goodness, of benevolence, of caring. That's why I don't believe in "god" anymore. I believe in a creator. A being that put humans on earth.

I am not an apologist. I make no excuses for "God's", "Jehovah's" behavior. There are no words or actions that can rationalize in my mind a loving "God" who allows atrocities such as the above to happen.

I don't think there is a "god" overlooking the earth. If there was a creator who put us here, he/she/it has long since left.

How about a survey?

i thought it might be interesting to post a survey for those who post on this forum.. perhaps it will provide a basis for some additional stimulating discussions on god and religion.. with that in mind, i have posted a survey of 10 yes/no/unsure questions on the bible/research forum.

I'm actually a very light hearted person. Just getting some "you're not welcome" here vibes lately and trying to figure out what's up.

Path said that the board is dead and some are trying to pump some life into it. But, others, like 7, seem to like it dead.

So, is it a holdover? Am I just misinterpreting?

7, the lighten up was meant as just that, lighten up! You like things dead? You like a small intimate group? Others are not welcome, is that what you are saying? So, again, you are saying that you want to belong to a small, elitist, dead group, just like the jdubs.

How sad.

7,

Should we all just hold hands and play the "ain't it awful game"?

Lighten up!!!

This was an active forum a few months ago - why shouldn't it be again?

Are you still stuck in the jw-cult-like mindset so much that you can't explore your horizons?

I don't know, the same people get boring after a while, especially if they don't say anything interesting.

New faces are welcome.

One for the ladies...

a post on witnet reminded me of this old question from readers in the 1960's.

(and you thought we were sexist .

*** w61 12/15 767-8 questions from readers ***.

One thing that always disturbed me, even when I was deep into the whole JW thing, was the way that women were treated and talked down to.

I think it's that whole 1950's mentality - especially for those on the GB and the CO's who were brought up during that era. Women were to look nice, keep quiet, cook dinner, clean the house and give their husbands sex. They were not to speak out, to correct a man, to put forth their own opinions and especially not "teach" in the congregation. What BS!

Off with the head!

I guess I'll throw in my answers (although you MUST already know them LOL)

1. yes

2. yes

3. no

4. no

5. no

6. no (why would a perfect being (God) want to be worshipped at all?)

7. no - if a God wanted us to have an instruction book - wouldn't he/she/it make it really clear and plain? Why all the sybolism?

8. no - see above

9. no

10. no

Path, do you often talk to yourself? Do you think you should possibly see someone about this?
