How convenient that anything you can't describe through dogma just becomes "God's will." At its face, the whole idea of God is just such nonsense to me. I understand that it's important to you, and I don't mean to belittle that, but it's just so easy to explain trying to control people's lives to get the church more power by just saying, "Ope, God's will again! Child got cancer? He's got a plan! Tsunami killed 1 hundred thousand? They're in a better place now! Now everybody tithe!"
But ISIS was doing it in the name of THEIR version of God. Why is your interpretation of God's will more important than theirs?
Again, trite and easy. So God either isn't all powerful or just doesn't care enough to intervene. The argument breaks down so easily.
But God's just willing to let a malevolent Devil twist human minds? While He does nothing? Why wouldn't He at least take that part out of the equation?
Here's the thing that you've probably guessed, I don't believe in God. I'm not a puppet because He allows me to have free will, praise Jesus. I'm not a puppet because there isn't an invisible sky man who had that option. I wouldn't be so pissed about it, but your friends, the evangelical loonies, are trying to control most of my life, and even more of my girlfriend's life. So while you can sit comfortably and happy behind your beliefs that everything is hunky dory, I'd be quite happy if I never had to have this argument again. But I will, because they'll keep whittling away at my rights every chance they get based on a fantasy.
Nothing. I just get to sleep forever. The older I get, the better that sounds.
Being the only people I’ve heard say that phrase are the fearmongering activists who seem to think abortion is the most important issue of the upcoming election, I’m not sure why the OP would title the thread as he/she did.
