That doesn't make much sense. So your saying that everyone who is an amputee, and everyone who would pray for them, doesn't have faith?
That is a pretty pathetic answer in my opinion.
No, what I saying, is they don't have enough faith. You look at something impossbile, and you say that is impossible, thefore you think it is impossible and thus throw up a prayer that you don't stand behind. Also, maybe you should do some research on people having faith and healing people like that, who have crippled hands and feet.
So you are trying to say, that because of this adam, everybody born in a situation where they are dying and living in poverty, and have no religion to speak of.. you're saying it's their own fault? It's somehow their fault? and their caring and loving god shouldn't have to care or do anything about it?
He's not caring or loving if he doesn't care about people who never had a choice in the matter. I don't buy that story where we are responsible just because some guy named adam did something that just about anybody with a brain could tell was a stupid idea.
And for the record, I have read the bible. I live in a morman family, I spent a lot of my earlier years growing up, reading that book, and I have gotten in trouble in the past for pointing out things that I found to be just plain wrong.
A couple years ago I read the bible again, cover to cover, and that is when I became an atheist.
He does care, He did send Jesus to tell us about it. He also had the idea of writing a book, called the bible and giving it to man so that every man might see who he is. Its up to you, to decide if that is truth or not. Do you really want God come down, and be like, here I am?
The fact is, people have a choice,and they choose to deny it, rather or not they read the bible, is up to them, and up to us. All Christians are commanded to spread the word to every nation, maybe we are doing a bad job at that, but that is still on Us.
Also, you say you are morman. Have you actually read the Holy Bible or the “Christian†bible or the morman bible? Two completely different things.
I just said god is a pretty sadistic being if he thinks it's ok to let tens of thousands of people die of starvation. Do you think all those people deserve it? If they are born into poverty, molested as children, and never taught anything about religion whatsoever, and then die of starvation, it's ok because some guy named adam sinned, and god played that game where one person screws it up everybody, and now they should all go to hell and burn forever because they had no belief in god.
It's pretty hard to believe in god when he makes no intervention whatsoever.
You also have to remember that Satan is at work, trying to suck people in. It could be because man let Sin into the world by his choice, that Satan now rules the earth? And all of these problems are do to the fact that Satan is doing them? And instea of Christians spreading the word around they are sitting on their butts, and not doing a thing about it, and instead of those people turning to God, they are cursing Him, when he isn't even the one doing it. Also with that said, God did send us, Jesus, and prophets, and the word of God. Any other intervention we would all be robots to Him, instead of having to choose God.
I just find it hard to imagine what kind of being he is, if he thinks anybody who doesn't follow his commands is some sort of sinner that deserves to burn in hell forever. If I swear, look at porn, say lots of offensive things, but spend my time helping people, never hurting, and doing generally good things for myself and all of those around me, yet I don't care for his ways at all, does that make me the evil scum he sends to hell?
If so, then I fully reject him, because he's a hypocritical son of a bitch that focuses on things of absolutely no relevance whatsoever.
I still find it hard to swallow that he thinks all gays should go to hell. I know quite a few gay people, some of the best people I know. If god hates them, then I hate god.
Then what else would you want it to be? Robots? Free to do whatever? Just as a father gives a set a rules to their children, so God gives us a set of rules to follow. The point is to believe in Him, and do those good things for HIM, in his honor. All things are given by him, and we should do all things for him.
Also, no where in the Bible does it say, that Gays should go to hell.
It does say that being homosexual is detestable to God, and that we shouldn't do it. JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER SIN!
So the next time some lame Christian says, Gays burn in hell, throw the bible at them, tell them to read it, because they too are sinners.
Being gay, according to the Bible is a sin, but like all sin can be forgiven, if they believe in HIM!
It sounds like you've had a lot of dumb Christians talk to you, or have read things that dumb Christians do.
Anyways, good talk.
