To every person who thinks the Lord is here to make all of our problems and pain go away, you're ignorant.

Read the Bible, or go to Church before you open your mouth so quickly about something you know nothing about.

Death is apart of life. We all die, and children are born, every day.

Because this is REALLY going to change someone's opinion on God.

Shut up, please.


You fucking bitch! You selfish, thoughtless bitch. I couldn't even imagine losing my Dad let alone like that. You ever had shit happen in your life? God didn't do a fucking thing did he. He doesn't exist. Fucking evolution. The fucking big bang love. It's all science, welcome to reality.

But apart from that, I'm so sorry for what's happened to you. I just want to wrap my arms round you and hug you  

God isn't real, I agree.

It's sad that so many people have been tricked into believing it all, religion was just made up because man was too stupid and scared to know what else to do.

You're such a joke. Shut up, seriously. Your opinion means shit to me, and just about every other believer on this board.

We've seen all of the "GOD IZ NAUGHT REEL" topics, and all of the "GAWD IZ REALZ" topics.  

They're all the same. GTFO.

Edit:

I'd love for you to tell me how the entire world evolved from one tiny spec? Please, humor me.

I'm very sorry about your Dad especially.

I will not argue theology with you but I'll just point out that your view of God as Superman is a common one. it's an easy concept for children especially to grasp and I personally think we do a disservice by teaching that concept.

I'd like to recommend a book by a Rabbi Kushner, called Why Bad Things Happen to Good People".  It probably won't change your mind and I'm not trying to, just give you perspective.

I remember this argument from the BF of a friend of mine. His Dad died after the crane he was operating fell over. In the BF's mind, his Dad died because there is no God. He died, of course, because the crane collapsed and his body could not withstand that trauma.

Of course it would be nice to have Superman-God swoop out of the sky to catch him, or to save your Dad. it would be nice if God did a magic wand trick above my own Dad's cancer. But God as magician, Superman, or  puppeteer does not exist, obviously. "hate, death, suffering, poverty, hunger" are all under the control of mankind and I'd hate to have a god who pulled strings like a puppeteer and marched people into war, into suffering etc...."OK, now who-o-o am I going to smite today?!"

To return to Rabbi Kushner, he points out that IF God exists, we apparently have a distorted, wishful thinking concept of him. In the old testament for instance, he's often a vengeful, nasty brute, but by the new testament, he's changed. Did god grow with people or was it simply the concept of God that has changed?

A close friend of mine who has two daughters with a rare and eventually fatal disease sees the good side of our concepts of God and it helps her deal with the tragedy that will play out one day for both her daughters, and which she is reminded of each day of life.

As I said, I won't argue with you- you may well be right. But I'll ask you to consider that if you were looking for Superman maybe you were looking for the wrong thing. And you may find comfort in a different concept. Wherever you find it, in a spiritual connection, or somewhere else, I hope you find it.

That's quite a broad generalization there, isn't it? You know, calling all Christians stupid?

That is awful, OP, but I still believe in God. That's probably because I was never taught that God is some magical sky fairy who's going to stop anything bad from happening ever, especially when he gave us free will. (Yes, free will is an incredibly crappy and fallible argument but I cbf typing out a proper one).

It's not God's fucking job to make our lives happy and dandy. That's your own responsibility. You should just be thankful that he created you and gave you the chance to live.

Death is apart of life. Deal with it.

"If God was real..or nice" Wow. That's probably the most hilarious thing I've ever heard. God isn't a fairy godmother here to grant our wishes. That's not how it works.


Edit:
And another thing...If God saved every person that died, then the world would be over populated right now, and we'd all be starving, living in poverty, etc.

Use your brain.

I'm sorry your father passed away, but it was his time to go. It wasn't that man's responsibility or those witnesses responsibility to save him, and there must have been a reason why they didn't.


alright, how DARE you say that it wasn't that man's responsibility. where you in the court room? Where you on the hwy when it happend ? FUCK NO. he  ADMITTED that he was on the wrong side. You wanna know why they said not guitly? The town had a population of maybe 100, and EVERYONE on the jury was friends with him, and my family lives outta that town, THAT"S WHY,  BITCH.  So don't act like you fucking know everything. Have you ever SEEN god? Has he ever talked to you face to face? NO.  Wanna know why? Because HE DOESNT EXIST.

Ah, the old "my life sucks so there is no God" argument. Classic -- or not.

Let me ask you this: have you ever heard of the Holocaust? During the Holocaust, millions of Jews (and Christians and homosexuals and Polish folks and gypsies, etc. etc. ad nauseum) saw their fathers die at the hands of Nazis who were never punished for their crimes during these people's lifetimes. Not only that, these intentional murderers were allowed to gloat over these people and continue to abuse them for no reason other than their heritage. And many of those millions continued to believe in God despite this.

The existence of God is not dependent on your idea of justice being met. You're angry and hurting, and that's understandable, but this is a piss-poor excuse to be an atheist. It's kind of like the two-year-old saying to their mother "I HATE YOU" because the mother wasn't magically there to keep them from scraping their knee. God isn't a genie existing only to make sure that you never experience pain or suffering.

I will admit that, while I also lack a believe in God, I think this isn't really the best reason for it. But crimeinstereo, you are seriously being unnecessarily insensitive and rude. A fucking bitch quite frankly. It really makes me wish this shit had happened to you instead.

I'm not saying that it would change your opinion about the existence of God. I really couldn't give a fuck about your religious beliefs. What it might do, however, is make you a little less callous when it comes to the emotional suffering of others.
