Id like to start this thread with a hearty laugh. Anyone whose been here lately knows why. I would also like to apologize for larry being a bigot not all people who dont believe in god are so sad. Just as some catholics embarrass all others, non-believers have the same problem. And i would especially like to apologize for the word geek if i was going to insult some one i would have at least used a word that wasnt invented by a 4th grade school girl. Anyway
enough of that. The reason i have started this thread is just to ask the believers out there some questions. God is a caring loving and merciful god. If hes so caring and loving why would anyone go to hell. He is our father hence the prayer and the name he is so affectionetly given. If i had a kid and became a father i would do everything in my power to make sure that he was happy and lived the best life he could live to become the happiest he could be. Now sounds about right for any father out there except god. God is the strongest force int he univerese so much so he is the universe. If he loved his children why doesnt he use his power to save us all?

Another... did he create hell just for the children he doesnt like?

Another... if there are angels and humans why not make all beings angels so they have the privalige of starting life in heaven with god?

Another...All people are created and treated equal in the eyes of god. Satan was created because god gave him special power over other angels. Not very equal.

Another... god knows everything. why did he allow satan to become well satan?

Another...Why does he test his children when one of the ten commandments is to not test him.

Another... if the point of this life is to die and go to heaven to see god why have this life at all? why not just see god? well i just asked the meaning of life so i think ive gone to far. Any answer on any of my questions would be fabulous. Thanks geeks.

Oh and i dont want any one trying to answer any questions unless they have actually read my entire post and can grasp the concept of more than 10 of the words.

good questions, but dont expect any direct answers from any christians or any other 'theists', they cant respond to most of them so they get frustrated and plauged with doubt and rather do the mature thing and evaluate their beliefs they say something vaguely about 'free will' without saying its purpose, then they'll give some bible verses, and if your lucky some personal story that doesnt prove anything but is touching in a emotional way which completly distracts from the original question.

Hi, just a real quick rhetorical question. If you had a kid, and you told that kid repeatedly, do not drink and drive, this kid had seen the results of a bad drunken driving accident and you actually wrote this kid a letter, please do not drink and drive because I don't want to see you hurt and I don't want you to hurt anyone else, Love Dad. (example only) The kid then goes out, get's blasted and kills someone, is it your fault? Perhaps this kid went ahead and chose to do exactly as they had been taught not to. Is the parent responsible? ty, Kuu

P.S. Larry and I get along fine, even though we have differant opinions, we try to respect each other as people.

Hey Juggalo, you seem to be so fascinated with questioning faith, want to come to Church with me? Please don't catagorize all believers as being the same, that in itself is bigotry. As long as people are not bothering you and are respectful to you, who cares? Kuu

well i went to church for like 16 years of my life and found that it didnt do anything for me it didnt make me feel holy or good. I read the bible plenty of times(the whole thing from genesis to revalations about 3xs) the more i read it the more contradictions i saw in it and doubts i had. I do find religion an extremly facsinating subject, anything that can dictate peoples lives interest me, i like talking about it and hearing other peoples view on different aspects of it.

The only religious people that bother me are the crazy fundalmentalists like bin ladin or timothy mcveigh, who i view as dangerous, all others i try to be respectful to and i think i am, but that doesnt mean i cant criticize and debate religion with them, im not criticizing the person just the faith.

p.s if you ever come down from maine to massachussettes or if i go up there for summer vaction id be happy to attend a church service with you.

Actually juggalo420 I deleted a recent post of yours from the thread From Fetus to Baby that was far from respectful and extremely critical of another member. Just because you feel that another person doesn't have the same standard of education as you, doesn't give you the right to look down your nose at them. Personal digs like that are unacceptable.

well everyone slips up now and again, and i hope you read in the post how i used the word TRY when speaking about the respect i give. Yeah i may have went a little overboard calling someone a 'uneducated redneck',it does add little towards civil discourse. So thanks for the cencorship, is that a dig?
Peace
