Why won't God heal amputees?

[Heath Ledger]

If something exciting like a miracle happens Praise Jesus!

If something bad happens like a baby dying in a fiery auto crash, must have been part of Gods plan. Or my favorite, God never gives us more than we can handle.

[redzero]

Yep, God gets all the credit and none of the blame.

"Oh, a plane crashed and all but one passenger died? It's a miracle!"

Why are atheist so much less charitable than religious people?

Because we want to be part of that 1% so we're good Americans.

[LnGrrrR]

Actually, believing that how you live your life matters gives it meaning by definition, no. It's the atheist who must think their lives meaningless.

I guess since we won't be judged by a guy in a cloud, and/or receive goodie bags after we die, then all us atheists have nothing to live for.

[Heath Ledger]

Anyone with an internet connection and half a brain should be able to conclude that there is no GOD at least not the one the Bible speaks of.

[LnGrrrR]

If you are an athiest, why would anything ever be considered morally wrong?

DarrinS failing all over the place.

[LnGrrrR]

Well, where do our morals come from? Why is something "good" vs "bad"?

You're still going with this?

Hey DarrinS, what does God say about advanced interrogation? Just wondering.

What's he say about helping the homeless? What's Jesus say about those 1% moneylenders?

[LnGrrrR]

Why not rape and pillage (see Occupy movement). You're only a piece of meat after all.

fail fail fail fail fail

Are you planning on feeding a herd of cattle with all those strawmen you're creating?

[LnGrrrR]

I'm not religious. Why do you suppose that you don't have the urge to hurt others?

Because the mean old man upstairs made me appreciate others! Except of course when I do feel like hurting others, but that's my fault.

[LnGrrrR]

Again, the best way I can explain it is to say that each person has a path and they can choose to walk it with God or without.

The problem is that it looks the same to some of us whether you're walking with or without him.

I believe in the God the Bible speaks of, and I have both an internet connection and at least half a brain.

Whats the basis of your belief? any direct observation and if so could you please describe it?

[Drachen]

DarrinS failing all over the place.

its like that keystone commercial. "DarrinS is failing" " no no, DarrinS just is"

tbh, these religious threads are always entertaining, but someday we should re-enact the Anti-Christ one

Someone should create a DemonLuv troll, ASAP.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

you're making an evidence based claim. mine is faith. i don't have to prove to you. you do. now if you had said "i believe there is no God" that would've been logical. but you're too emotional on this subject to let logic get in the way.

So you admit there's no proof god exists, just checking. Having faith is believing in something when there's no logical or rational reason to do so.

I chose to have faith in the flying spaghetti monster

I tried creating a Demon_Luv troll like 3 times and Kori would have none of it. Angel_Luv is on her protected list. BadOdor got pinked for something he said to her 1000x less mean than the stuff said on this site every day.

Whose problem is it...non-believers? I can't change the fact that you see randomness and I see a path divined by God. It's called faith for a reason.

[AFBlue]

Whats the basis of your belief? any direct observation and if so could you please describe it?

I see God in the existence of life from a general viewpoint, but I also see God working in my own walk of life. I can choose to believe the creation of life was a random act and that the events in my life are similarly random...but I don't. I have faith that a supreme being created life from nothingness and has purposefully set our paths.

As an example, I met my wife after year four of college at Baylor. Had I decided to go elsewhere or not changed my degree plan midstream (forcing a fifth year), and should she have not done the same (got her Masters in the same time it took me to get my Bachelors ) we never would've met. Again, you can look at that string and call it random, but I say it's devined by God.

Is that direct proof? No, but that's why it's a leap of faith.

Thinking god did anything for you on a personal level when he's neglected to do stuff like warn Haitians about a catastrophic Earthquake is one of the most narcissistic behaviors I've ever seen someone exhibit.

You don't get it. God already had set up the path of all of those Haitians and used the Earthquake as a 'test of character'. It might look like such a god is an asshole, but he actually loves you and all those that passed and failed the 'test of character'

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

What's funny is Pat Robertson didn't even try to come up with some bull test of character justification for the Earthquakes in Haiti. He was ballsy and explained how Haitians were punished for the deal they made with Satan.

[ElNono]

I think god should strongly consider having his own 'American Psycho' movie. There he could explain the rationale for all these alleged 'tests', and why he still loves everyone regardless of the outcome of such 'tests'.

[ElNono]

Actually, that gives me an idea for a poll...

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Tbh the Jigsaw movie series might have been symbolism for how god works
