| Apostrovich said: Also @fooflexible not all suffering of humans is caused by other humans. God is supposed to be omnipotent and benevolent. God cannot be both, because if god was benevolent, he would want to help all people regardless of position or faith. If god was omnipotent, he could. He doesn't. So god is either NOT benevolent, or NOT omnipotent. And as I have heard it put, if he is not benevolent or omnipotent, then why call him god? |
Because he theoretically can either send you to a place where you'll be happy or a place where you'll be tormented for all time?
Hey if someone created the world and has control of my soul that's god to me, whether he's omnipotent, beneveolant or a huge jerk. Who am I to judge?
I mean the Sumerans thought their gods created them soley to be serveants that they could use. Talk about a depressing religion.
Me, i'm too logical to be an atheist. Hear me out. Either time is unlimited or it's not. If we die and there is nothing after this, if time is limited none of this matters. If time is unlimited, eventually humans will die and eventually everything humans will have done won't matter, every change that we've made will be washed away like a sand castle in the tide of time.
So if i didn't believe in god there would be little reason for me to live other then the fact that i wouldn't think it was worth the effort of killing myself as my life is meaningless anway.
Besides which i'd really hate myself if I were that emo.
