After 9/11 a lot of people have been tossing around "god bless america". Why do they keep saying this? From the looks of it god hasn't blessed anything. If god had blessed america, the 9/11 event would've never happened. Theists seem to give the answer of "everything is part of gods big plan". If everything is part of gods big plan, why are we after Bin Laden? Wasn't he and other terrorists just carrying out gods desired plan? So it seems that Bin Laden/ terrorism isnt our enemy , but god

Miracles. Many people are claiming that God granted a miracle when the miners in PA were rescued. Where was God's miracle Sept 11th? Too busy keeping a cross erect eh?


2)Why does God have emotions (jealousy, anger, sadness, love, etc.) if he is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent? Emotions are reactionary, how can God react to us if he is all-knowing and has a divine plan?


3)If god is omniscient and "god is love," why would he allow a child to be conceived, knowing that that child would one day reject him and spend eternity burning in a lake of fire? If I were god, I wouldn't allow it; I have more love for humanity than he does

4)Why are we granted free will if our duty in this life to our god is to do as we are told? We are to follow rules upon threat of punishment. Is that free will?

5)If God has a plan for you, and his plan cannot be thwarted, do you really have a free will?

6)I hear Christians all the time speaking of a war between Heaven and Hell, if this is true does God have limitations of power? Man only conducts wars because of our limitations of power and foresight. God has both all-power and all-knowledge, no reason for war

7)How could the all-merciful/loving God watch billions of his children burn over and over again for eternity.


8)If Satan is the ultimate trickster, how do we know that Satan hasn't tricked Christians into worshipping him as God (Yahweh) and are actually rebuking the "real" God in his own name?


9)If you are so loving and caring, why did you let that policmen shoot a dog, couldnt you made cop miss the poor dog?

Dear God:

To borrow from Robert Green Ingersoll, why should anyone ask you about raising children when you drowned yours? Good luck with your answer. Peace

AMEN.
 
Your best bet is to accept it all as the crap that it is and move on to better things like why people call you out to a party with 10 strippers on a 15 minutes notice, and you get the message the next day.
 
1) Religion (i.e. god, in whatever context one takes it Allah, Budda
Jesus Christ) was created to give order and structure, nothing more. Anyone who can deeply believe Jesus Christ was the son
of an all loving, all knowing god, born of immaculate conception
needs alot of self help.

Burning_Inside summed it up good in one sentence

" Your best bet is to accept it all as the crap that it is "
 
Buddy, it all boils down to FAITH. Believers have it, naysayers don't........plain and simple. Just because bad things happen in this world doesn't mean He let them. Bad things have happened to me, but I still know God. I've seen God and He's been there for me many of time......can't tell you how, but I just know......hard to explain. People can say what they want about "needing self help" and having issues or whatever......if you have faith, you have God.
 
God does not control the will of man. To put it in a different perspective, think of God as a parent of everything. All parents can do is raise their children and hope that the child grows up to be a good person. This doesn't always happen. Same idea with God, he doesn't control what goes on in everyday life, though he is ultimately responsible for every living being. It's not supposed to be a black and white thing, their is a lot of gray area in religion. That is why faith is so important in religion. If you do not have faith then nothing will make any sense. God doesn't want any of this horrible stuff to happen.

I hope I could shed new light on your question.

You have seen God? How many times have I heard this one? What did he or she or it look like? Did he speak to you also? Was he there in your avatar helping you to choose it?

You may have a lot to lose if your beliefs limit what you would like to do in your life. Americans and Christians are not very religious at all compared to other religions that I have seen. Most Christians haven't even read the entire Bible. I wish it were easy.
 
Organized Religion is all about MONEY...

The single most successful con game in the history of the world...

Nothing else is even remotely close..

1. Maybe your chosen religion is wrong and god is really from another one. There are so many religions chances are good you will burn in hell anyway.

2.You give political power to people not deserving it. This ranges from crusades over inqusition to modern priests molesting little kids

3.You spend a lot of money on your religion

4.You spend a lot of your free time in your church

And pls don´t respond with " i don´t go to church, i don´t give money to money to the church..." , because i was talking about people that actually are religious and not just pretend to be.
 
Norman Bates and biteme, frankly, I don't think it's that easy. Pascal's Wager wouldn't actually work IMO. YOu can't simply say ok, I believe and bam! you're taken care of. There's a whole lot more to it than that.

BTW Norman, I had no intention of responding with either of those.
 
America was built as a christian nation. the fist school was a church, the first teacher was a preacher. (in god we trust)(one nation under god)etc. all of our history is based on Christianity, do we teach this in our schools anymore?. many believe that as we keep giving god the boot, and push him further and further out of our homes, schools, beliefs etc, and replace him with sin, he is taking the umbrella of protection with him.

sure it takes faith, but who is a man without faith?
christianity is the only religion that prophesizes the lords return, not only that, there is prophecies of the things to look for before his return so that we are prepared. prophecy is A prediction of the future incase your having trouble with this one. run a search for end times prophecies, after knowing them, and seeing that most have already come to pass you may realize HMMM!! this stuff might be for real. heres a link, i haven't looked at it to well but it has the prophecies on it.

America was built not under Christianity, but rather under Puritanism.

There is a huge difference.
 
When have you really seeked God about anything? How can you sit there and say God doesn't speak to us? God can do anything he wants. Just because Jesus isn't on the earth right now doesn't mean that miracles can't happen and that he can't talk to us. He only speaks to his fully committed followers. God speaks in many ways, usually through his living word (The Bible).

The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike. God doesn't micro manage the people of the earth. We are given an opportunity to make a decision. You can walk in faith or not, it is up to you. During this time, faith is at a premium in light of the wisdom of mankind trying to elimintate God with evolution and Big Bang Theory.

God doesn't need us, but he does love us. The Bible doesn't tell us everything, but we are created in his image. He is cultivating his fields, harvesting the people that will remain with him forever. The one's that rebel and choose their own ways over God and his Commandments - are judged (which we all deserve!!). The judgement of God is just. There is no such thing as "free will". There is no society on earth where "free will" exists. There are always rules to follow, even your employer makes you follow protocol. God does have a plan for everything, i do believe that. Whether you are a part of it or not is your choice. The sacrifice of Jesus is the only way we can be permitted to escape the judgement of God that we all rightfully deserve.

God doesn't want to watch billions of his children burn over and over again for eternity. God has no choice because they choose to reject him and choose this path. There is always a price that has to be paid for anything.

Satan did come as an angel of light to decieve and destroy. He comes in many ways. Islam worships the God of Allah, not Yahweh. Allah is the moon god that ancient mid eastern tribes worshiped. It is a pagan god. I have documented proof of this, read this article:

http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/moongod.htm

It shows some of the differences between the God of Christians and what the Islamic faith follows. Many people are decieved that Allah is the same thing as Yahweh, this is a total lie. Many people are calling for the unification of religions, Pope included, that marks what is prophesied is the Book of Revelation. Many things in the last few decades have been found documenting events in the Old Testament, but have not been released by the anti-Christian media. It is a leap of faith to follow Christ, and it is not an easy walk. To bear the Cross and live a life like Christ also means to go through trials that test your faith. You have to give up the things of this world to inheret the Kingdom of God. This is something most do not want to do. If God did speak to you, wouldn't you have to believe? Wouldn't you have to lay down your life for Christ and follow him? Do you really want that?

If i recall correctly the anti christ brings is supposed to bring peace to the middle east.
So if Bush conquers several middle east nations and enforces peace, would that make him the anti-christ then? :p

Puritanism is a way of life. It is intense work and saving of capital. the amount of wealth was directly related to how much God loved you.

Christianity was never in schools. What are you talking about?
 
here in America it was, until the 1960's

and didnt the puritans leave great britain because of religious oppression?

Christianity was not in the public school system. Come to Quebec where all public schools were Catholic. A place where crosses and prayers were an everyday occurrence. That is Christianity in schools, not saying the pledge of allegiance.
 
why dont you believe me that there were prayers said over the announcements, and religion classes, until some atheists got whiny and went to the supreme court about it

We're not talking about Quebec, or catholics bucko....CHRISTIAN & CATHOLIC, they are two very different things. and yes, Christianity was taught nation wide, not just in some states of the us. this was a christian nation. hence "ONE NATION UNDER GOD"........... "IN GOD WE TRUST" it was a daily thing to pray in schools, used to be able to read the bible in schools, sing christian songs, etc.

Like I said buddy, can't explain it, I just know. I hope one day you'll see it too, but as blind as you seem to be, it would be hard or overlooked on your part.
