ah the classic "if the world isn't perfect there is no God"
followed by the sequel "i don't know where my morals came from but it doesn't matter"
it's not god raping children dude, it's flawed humans, because he gave us free will
which you yourself use to develop your own morals and act on them.
but because some other people fail to measure up to your standards....God doesn't exist?
that seems like a gigantic logical leap.
pain exists, you need to find a way to deal with that, but it really has nothing to do with God existing or not.
think of it this way, if god really is all powerful, and he tells you how the universe is (painful, but temporary and a learning experience), who are you to say "no, i refuse to believe it"
why? because you don't want to? that's fine and totally your right, but don't claim to be the ultimate authority on the universe. you really think you, a random person, figured out the big secret that billions of other people before you never figured out?
It's rich of you, as a believer in an invisible sky fairy, to talk about logical leaps. I demand that you worship my flying unicorn of doom instead, lest you go to ULTRA HELL.
In other words: you're a complete hypocrite. There is no difference between your sky fairy and the unicorn of doom I suggested, but you choose to believe one.
A god is the all powerful creator of everything, with perfect foresight with regard to everything that ever happens, yet at the same time it bears no responsibility for anything that happens?
I dont agree with you and think you're wrong, but I do like what you wrote and how you wrote it. Respectfully, though....isnt a lack of answered prayers a measurement of standards ? If prayer is consistently the manner of communication with said " Creator " as dictated by the said creator ? Plus I'd like to remind you, "God" has not told you, myself or anyone you or I know, how the universe works.
think of it this way, if god really is all powerful, and he tells you how the universe is (painful, but temporary and a learning experience), who are you to say “no, i refuse to believe it”
Aaaaand there's the problem right there. God never told me that, or anything else for that matter, no matter how often I asked him to please tell me something, anything at all. Not even a peep. Ever. So who would I even say "no I refuse to believe it" to? No one. There's only people like you making up shit that you like to pretend god might say.
