God Needs A good swift kicking imho if all the misery in this World is part of some grand plan! Sorry if that offends all you "One God" followers, but like Israel/Jacob/Yacoub/Ya-Ja etc I refuse to Submit and would rather wrestle if that is what it takes to make the infantile "jealous" God see some sense!
God has expelled man, probably for the reason you would like to kick the deity and has nothing to do with your emotions either - fix the problem yourself there is no other choice.
How can I fix all the problems Breeze Wood? I am not God I am just, tut, the partner of A Berry and father of Eleanor - how exactly can I fix all the World's problems? Though you are hinting at something please elaborate!?!?!
God has not created any of the problems in the world, so God cannot solve them - simple If one is having some few extra marital affairs and when got caught by his wife blames it on God , he is not right , people of the world are creating irreversible damage to nature , they are also creating impossible problem to solve , so whoever is creating such problems deserve the kick and not God.
Yea, how can you kick God when he's not there? People here tend to say:"Help yourself first so that God could help you". I don't know what kind of problems do you have, but I don't think that God is gonna help you with those, only person that can is you.
I don't have any particular problems myself Mentalhead (touch wood as they say), but the World is such a mess in so many places that if this is all part of some grand plan you have to wonder... WHY?
Probably a similar reason Israel wrestled Obamanation But if all the World's misery is part of a grand plan how many reasons do you need? Let's see Hurricane (pick a name) Tsunami (pick one) Earthquake (pick one) War (pick one) Famine (pick one) Drought (pick one) Shall I go on?
Satan. Blame Satan. Only the good things can rightfully be attributed to God. If it is bad, it is Satan trying to deviate from God's grand plan. If it is good, it is god smiling down on us. Of course I have no evidence for any of this, but then again, neither do you.
That's like saying if God created everything he didn't create Satan Sir. Which obvuiously can't be true if Satan was supposed to have been God's favourite Angel at one point.
I am not God I didn't flood the World and save the drunken Noah and Shem Ham & Japheth and the Olive girls, because I was disapointed with my creation and how it had panned out and I didn't give Satan the ability to torture Jo(a)b, so I guess only God, the Angels, the Jinn, demons and other such beings could answer that one Eric.
Given my post b4 your last one can you see why I would flag this God as infantile as well as being a vain and jealous entity then Eric?
Ironically this is not the bronze ages and you are still attributing things we KNOW the cause of to God. They all have natural, simple explanations that children in 3rd grade understand. It's the adults desperately clinging to bronze age beliefs that are the problem.
I see where you are coming from George - but lets take the "Free Will" thing as an example - given red lips and red lipstck, so would you ascertain free will is real or would you be able to debate that there are glaring flaws on that alone and that there is evidence (even evidence sussed out by us mere humans - who nothing will be with holded from) that would point to the free will thing being somewhat flawed?
