Inteligent debate: Christianity
10-20-2010, 09:00 PM
Are there any Christians in here? I am looking for answers. This is not a stfu-god-d0esnt-exist-fu thing, I'm just curious. I have a few questions, that I hope you can answer:
1. If god is almighty and good, why is there pain in the world?
A favorite. It has been asked so many times, but still something that needs to be mentioned, surely there must be some answer. In a world controlled by God, there is also a devil right? and he is the one making all the pain. Seems a reasonable answer, but god is not almighty then, right? What do you think?
2. Why is there so many other religions
Do these gods exist as well? Surely, God want us to believe that he exists, right? Why is your god any more likely to be real than all these thousands of other gods. Does he maybe appear in many shapes, (if he is everything it wouldn't have been strange at all) if he is maybe all these gods at once. Why does holy war exist then? Human corruption? that brings me onto my next question...
3. Why aren't we perfect
We aren't perfect, that's for sure. We steal, lie, rape, beat, kill, harass, (troll) and bomb each others. Because we were bad, and ate from the tree of wisdom? (If we were perfect at that point, we wouldn't have stolen the apple :[ )Why didn't he want us to have wisdom? It seem to me a metaphor on how the church have been banning science (wisdom/knowledge) troughout history. Anything I forgot? tell me :)
