wrong the devil makes people do evil things but god allows the devil to exist anyway


so god is basically a sadist who has an evil accomplice that causes pain and suffering on earth
>>
>>127122313
Well to be completely honest,God does help when he feels the person does not have the power to help themselves,most of the things the Devil puts on the Earth is avoidable and can be solved.
>What about the things that can't be easily solved
That is why there are more that just a few thousand humans,to solve these problems through hard work,people die sometimes,its hard but if life was easy we would have too many people living on this planet to support it,we are reaching the point where we can't anyway.
In conclusion,I'd worship a God who allows the Devil to exist,because without the Devil who would make us us, who would make or break us? There is much more to life than a just having some reason to say "LMAO FUCK GOD HE DIDNT HELP ME BEAT THIS ONE GUY NOW IMMA KYS",if suicide or anything that is self detrimental because you didn't get your way(or you didn't try to) is the answer,I'll see your ass in hell.

I actually have the answer to this, I just hope you are not trolling?
also I will answer according to my faith

>God created the universe
>He needed a way to give his teachings to humanity
>He did that through many prophets most notably Ebraheem/Moses/Jesus/Mohammed
>He interfered during those times as needed to ensure his teachings was delivered to earth
>after Mohammed(the last prophet) he didn't interfere in earth again(will explain later) as Mohammed finalized God's teaching to earth.

Lastly to answer your question:
1-God is all powerful
2-God forbid injustice upon himself
3-By interfering to ensure his teaching delivery to earth is not injustice
4-interfering in earth after this point is injustice

more explaining for the 4th point
>injustice definition: violation of the rights of others; unjust or unfair action or treatment.
thus by interfering in earthly matters is injustice (to have God by your side and not other evil people is injustice as he is all powerful)
>>
>>127122313

God is love, light and goodness - the creator. The opposing force is Satan, or the adversary, which is basically darkness personified, a destroyer.

Everything must be in balance. If there is light there must be dark; you cant define white without black and vise-versa.

Humans may be the universe experiencing itself through consciousness, a large collection of souls with a purpose to explore, learn and report back findings to God over many incarnations. We need free will to do this.

God doesn't 'allow evil', evil exists as a opposing force. The closer you are to god, the more love and light will be in your life. The further you stray from god, the closer to darkness, to evil, to the debase.

Eventually, all souls must return to God to be one again. The balance may swing, and we will go through (we MUST go through) periods of darkness, where evil reigns over the human consciousness - suffering is necessary for self-reflection and true learning experience. But God and goodness, by it's nature, will win out in the end.

Get the hell over yourself. God didn't make humans so that He could play maid. The whole of reality is an art piece. Terrible things are just the dark colors. Considering, in addition, that God offers eternal salvation for even potentially enduring some terrible things, you can't call it cruel. Being butthurt at your circumstances in life, even when they are lopsidedly beneficial to you and even when you otherwise wouldn't have been given life in the first place, is abominable hubris.

The deepest learning, reflection and understanding comes through pain and suffering. Think about heartbreak, for instance: it can be intense, world-breaking pain, yet people come through heartbreaks as changed people (for the better or for the worst - part of the human experience is to learn how to deal with pain, to use it to help you grow rather than succumb to despair). They say the only thing worse than having your heartbroken is never experiencing having your heartbroken.

We also have to understand God not as a distinctly separate being which rules over us like a monarch, but instead understand that each of is part of god, and our soul is a piece of the divine soul. God is us and we are God. God does not inflict pain on us like a kid with a magnifying glass nor does he subject us to torturous environments and experiences while he observes from afar - God, as us, is experiencing his own creation.

>>127122313
In theology this is referred to as the problem of Good and Evil.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?"
-- Epicures

This problem was created when Christianity changed most of scripture from poly-theism to mono-theism. Suddenly there was the Devil (Trickster, Chaos, Perturbation, Opposition, Temptation) separate from the Pantheon of Gods (all with their justified functions). This was further exacerbated by anthropomorphizing this very human internal feeling and behavior into a lesser Deity with it own will. Perhaps we did this out of weakness: It is easier to claim some external force seduced you, than to admit you was not strong-willed enough to let ratio celebrate a victory over animalistic urges.

The solution to this problem is to acknowledge Abraxas. In the Seven Sermons to the Dead, and later in the Red Book, Carl Gustav Jung united God into a single God. As He contained both Evil and Good, He is more powerful than the Judeo-Christian God. In that, He is also afraid of itself.

From http://gnosis.org/library/7Sermons.htm

This is a god whom ye knew not, for mankind forgot it. We name it by its name Abraxas. It is more indefinite still than god and devil.

Light and Darkness.
The Hot and the Cold.
Force and Matter.
Time and Space.
Good and Evil.
Beauty and Ugliness.
The One and the Many.

What the god-sun speaketh is life.

What the devil speaketh is death.

But Abraxas speaketh that hallowed and accursed word which is life and death at the same time.

Abraxas begetteth truth and lying, good and evil, light and darkness, in the same word and in the same act. Wherefore is Abraxas terrible.

It is the lord of the toads and frogs, which live in the water and go up on the land, whose chorus ascendeth at noon and at midnight.

The devil exists to prove that sentient beings who are given the knowledge of good and evil still choose evil, just like Adam and Eve. Hence, why we need a savior, etc.

Freedom is important to God. Would a benevolent God not give you free will? God won't force you to be with Him for eternity if you don't want to. To suggest that forcing people to do what He wants is somehow more benevolent is silly.

Says who? You? God is all things. Wether or not you think something is 'terrible' is your own perspective. Did it ever occur to you that things you think are unfortunate serve a purpose in a greater scheme?

Which doesn't invalidate religion, it just says you are self centered and somewhat infantile about your religious ideas.

God is not what modern religions have filtered throughout history to convey him as ...

That's your first mistake. As to who or what god is .. that's for you to personally discover and journey to find in your personal life and connection to him. Organized religions are organized religions.

Before people began co-opting this powerful conception via :
> Paganism
> Shamanism
> Polytheism
> Monotheism (The holy grail of control)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animism
Animism is the oldest known type of belief system in the world that even predates paganism.

Animism -"breath, spirit, life" is the religious belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Each individual had raw access to this.

the premise is false. Free will exists, thus the correct question is: How likely is it that the human race is alive today, unless God. How come suffering always comes to an end if not God. Things going in a certain direction have a tendency to keep going in that direction, law of inertia.

>Animism -"breath, spirit, life" is the religious belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Each individual had raw access to this.

Free will can't exist if God is omnipotent, omniscient AND also created everything.

It's impossible, and it reduces us to basically God's playthings in a game in which he already knows the outcome.

There are tons of responses towards the problem of evil.
The world was good at its creation but evil came into the world as a result of man's sin (free will). The purpose in our life isn't to feel good it is to glorify God, and man can't truly glorify God if we are soulless automatons.

Hell is a VIKING myth. How did you read over that? Look it up. It came in with the King James version. Hades is a roman God. Lucifer is a Roman God.

It's a fucking fake religion

Hell = Aramaic for "Sheol" = grave

Without evil in the world we would never know good. If we watched as a child burned to death in a house fire we would consider that evil. But would two children dying in a house fire be twice as evil.

But what if it was 1890 and the child who died in the house fire was named Adolf Hitler? Would that be good or evil?

>>
>>127122313
This is the dumbest argument and misses the second most important message in Christianity.
There are two types of bad things. One caused by nature, and the other caused by other humans. All harm caused by humans is preventable by an omnipotent God but you must realize that God values human free will above anything. Hence why Adam and eve had a choice to eat the fruit, despite the almost infinite harm that could come of it. God violating human autonomy to force us to do good is worse than is doing bad.
The second harm, of natural harm, while bad, is important. Virtue isn't virtue unless it slams up against vice. Natural harms create opportunities for vice or virtue to manifest itself. Adam wasn't a virtuous person in Eden, he could never be. It gives opportunity to actually be good.
And finally, man's earthly life is fleeting, and the true conclusion is the kingdom of heaven, so all the bad that occurs to one on earth is irrelevant, what matters is the bad or good one does.

The only hole I really see in my point is that God flooded to earth for Noah. But that's old testament Jewish shit, before Christianity really molded its proper philosophy.

How can men sin if the creation was good? Men are part of the creation. Good creatures don't sin. It doesn't even matter for the problem of evil. Even if men where bad, a benevolent God would still intervene to correct the consequences of man's sinful behavior.

>>127125647
Adam and Eve is a beautiful symbolic story predating the Bible, about growing up as a child and losing your innocence. First you wonder around in paradise, naked, not a care in the world. God (the external world) takes really good care of you, your parents work hard to keep you from danger. Then the snake comes and whispers in their ears: You could become Gods yourselves! Adam now hits puberty and gets a hard-on when he sees a woman. Eve gains Seduction +1 to Charisma. Adam first fucks Lilith. But she is a disobedient cunt and wants to go her own way. Lilith keeps on riding the cock carousel for now and mothers the Goyim race. Eve instead, seduces Adam for a taste of her moist apple and they become Creators of children themselves. Now instead of fucking around, Adam is thrown out of Paradise. He has to work the land. Eve has to endure the pains of child birth. And the circle repeats: They get children, make them a Paradise, guard them from the true evils of the world. Until they get old enough to fuck it all up again.

thats why they dont need to see the gospel either if theyre on a deserted island

theyre not gods children

its gods will for all men to be saved. all men will be saved. if youre a unbeliever non born again non child of god you dont have a consciousness

so god sends all real men to heaven

the present suffering does compare

Romans 8:18-21
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

As explained by Hegel, concepts routinely have a mutual dependence. A master can only exist where there is a slave. Take away the slave, you have no master etc. The same is true of good and evil. They interdepended and inter-rely for their own conceptual existence. Take away evil and you just have moral neutrality. Take away good and you have moral neutrality. As such, it is fallacious to even try and argue that an 'all-good God' would remove evil. If he did, he wouldn't then be an all-good god as the concept of good would also be lost with the removal of evil. As such, God allows evil because it allows the recognition of him being Good. Without it, God would not be 'good' but just a morally neutral actor. Our creation itself then is to validate God's goodness. We are capable of observing his goodness through the experience of the concepts of good and evil in our lives.There could be no higher purpose for humanity.

If he knows absolutely everything, all beginnings and all outcomes, and he creates something, it can't have free will.

Everything his creation does is something he himself chose, his creation doesn't have a choice.

At the beginning of his creation, he knew exactly how everything is gonna turn out, how every person will live their lives, and how they would think.
If he JUST knew everything, that would be fine, and there could be free will, but if he ALSO created everything, that means everything is just a game.

He could've changed the position of a single rock in the garden of eden that would have made me put on a red shirt today instead of a blue one or changed the position of a hair on Eve's head that would have drastically changed something, etc...

If he's all knowing, he can't create you with free will, because he's the one who knowingly gave you that specific will from the very beginning.

"12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;"

>How can men sin if they are part of the creation
Man wasn't bad at his inception but he had free will.

Genesis 1
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

We are made in God's image and have free will, we are not creatures like your disgusting atheism pushes forward. You attributing free will to evil is a weird jump.
>a benevolent God would still intervene to correct the consequences of man's behavior
Another baseless claim. God has intervened in the world and given us truth (The Bible). Whether we choose to accept truth is up to us. Life isn't a fairy tale and our purpose isn't to feel good or never experience pain. It is to glorify God and God can't receive glorify from soulless automatons.

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

I don't know what that means. I'm telling you "morning star" is a Christ reference = lucifer. The Pope made "Luciferians" into bad guys because they were monks that he elt threatened by back in the earliest days of Christianity. I think it might of been Pope Pias or Innocent, I can't remember.

>Revelation is very clear on adding to the canon. To suggest the gnostic gospels get a pass is totally unbiblical.
So have you got any way to justify your position, or are you just programmed to say that because of the church and church history? Marcion was essentially a Gnostic and he had a canon including Paul, many years before the church adopted one in response. The version we have now also includes additions (Which were absent in Marcion's versions) that are inserted completely out of context.

In conclusion, you're full of shit and you need to think a little bit more about what you're told and actually do some research instead of just assuming. But you know what they say, if you repeat something enough times, people will believe it. And the "official" new testament canon has been repeated enough to where people can't even speculate on the possibility of thinking outside the box.

God allows terrible things to happen, there is indeed no question about that-yet you people are not reasoning as to why he might be operating this way.

Think about it, morality wouldn't exist without good or evil, without conflicting arguments then there is no point in trying to persuade-without death then there is no need to live. Without the devil, god would be nothing, and without order, there would be no chaos. Balance my friend. It's what sustains our reality.

Why strive to create, to invent and craft a better world for our coming generations without experiencing any horrors throughout our lives?

>That's because the problem of evil hasn't been solved by theists.

Which is funny, because things like "good" and "evil" don't make any sense in an atheistic worldview. The problem of evil is more of a problem for atheists. How does evil logically exist in a your worldview?

Does nature care that some guy blew up a bunch of kids? No? Then why do you? Isn't your sense of justice a mere evolutionary response, which was randomly selected by nature? It's obviously not divinely inspired, is it? And more importantly, it's not put there by a higher intelligence, or any sentient intelligence at all, because you don't believe in that. In fact, nature could have easily made you rejoice at the idea of murder, and you could consider that moral. Nature doesn't care. Natures doesn't set rules or prescribe right and wrong.

You guys are making moral judgments against a god, when you don't even have a moral basis from which to make them. Even worse, you adopt the morals of western judeo-christian society in order to make those judgements against god.

You guys are such smart philosophers, maybe you should spend more time thinking about your illogical worldview instead of posing bait questions to 'dumb' christians.

Personally I'm of the opinion that there is simply a realm higher than ours where various entities have fought over our worship as an energy source to sustain them. The Christian/Jewish god is simply the strongest for now.

That's your problem, not ours. And let's not pretend that all you need is scientific evidence. People are emotional, have baggage, prejudices, etc. Some are a lot easier to convince than others, when presented the exact same information. And that has everything to do with the person, not the information.

Let's assume jesus was the real deal. Even he couldn't convince some people to believe. So go ahead and be stubborn. God didn't set out to save everyone. Many will be lost, and serve as an example to those who god elected to save. We'll look back at people like you and thank god he didn't make us all so stubborn.

I get what you're trying to say, but religious people always argue this the same way. You either argue ONLY from the "all knowing" part, or the "creator of everything" part.

It's the combination of both being all knowing AND the creator of everything that makes free will impossible.

If he was ONLY all knowing (and didn't create everything), then sure, he knows what you're going to choose, but that doesn't change the fact that it's your choice.
If he was ONLY the creator of everything (and not all knowing), then of course, he can create something without having any idea what his creation will choose.

But if you combine them together, it's impossible. Like I said in >>127129813

If he's both, then he created everything, knowing ahead of time, exactly how everything would turn out. Right down to the conversation we're having right now. And if he wanted to, he could've made it different, but he didn't. He created our "wills" from the very beginning. They're not "free". They can't be.

OR humanity is doomed to never know the truth of their existance and can only emulate it through having a higher power (something out of your hands) is pulling the strings in the background. I see both sides to theism vs athiesm both dont have conclusive results although through science im sure we can go far.

It just seems we all think we have the right answer but we could be wrong on like 10 different levels. So much that its having negative results on our society through our beliefs. Nothing is giving me the 'ah ha! Thats the truth!'

The issue with the whole christian narrative is that it's set upon by a concept of heaven in which there are angels and Lucifer. They all had enough free-will due to Lucifer being able to rebel against god and due to a number of angels going along with him.

In essence, the adam/eve story is a re-telling of the heaven rebellion... One given all sorts of charms/gems/etc (humans) decided to go against god's one command causing a fall from grace ... One became many and then there was a war in (heaven version 2 : earth) whereby good and evil fight it out until good eventually prevails...

Literally the story of heaven + angels + rebelled angels. So, what is this a recursive infinite loop? The point wasn't made or foreseen or corrected the first time it happened in heaven?

So yeah, the whole christian organized religion spin on this has gaping holes all over the place w/ their narrative.

Religion is tens of thousands of years old.
Christianity isn't the one and only true religion.
The whole idea that it is or that God revolves around it is fucking asinine as shit in the grand scope of religious history.

The whole reason there is so much warring centered around the monotheistic middle-eastern religions is because they are the holy grail of human authority and control over others. Do you fight over gravity on a daily basis or just accept it as self evident truth?

People fight over lies and half truths.
There are hella half truths and lies found under christianity

Explain why we needed to repeat the war in heaven and the fall from grace therein via version 2 human beings? Why didn't God resolve the rebellion and the war and the conflict amongst angels? Why did it have to recurse an even further level? This is, per the biblical narrative.

Clearly the angels had free will which is why they went against God...God created angels.

So, why was there a need to create version 2.0 if he is all seeing/knowing?

You create something that rebels against you in version 1 and causes suffering
You create something that rebels against you in version 2 and causes suffering.

>>127131327

It's debatable whether or not god exists outside of time and space. But let's assume he doesn't, and that time is a straight line which started with him (making him eternal).

It's safe to say God knows everything and is witness to all things. In that case he's omniscient, and is an expert about who we are, but he doesn't live in the future. He has the power to shape events though, as needed, which does allow him to know the future because he can make it to his liking (all powerful), without necessarily dictating every single action we make.

If I give my nephew matches, I know he's going to play with them. Did I make him pull out the matches and burn himself? No. I simply know his nature, that he's inclined to do that, and perhaps indirectly I'm responsible for not putting the matches away. But he's still made the decision, within his nature, to do what he did. Humans are fundamentally sinful, so we make the world a terrible place. That's on us. God obviously knew we would, perhaps that's on him.

I think all of this is a moot point as god is responsible one way or another, but ultimately we as humans can't see the big picture, so getting your panties in a twist over this is childish. I felt the same way in my early 20s and struggled with the issue of a good god coexisting with an evil world. But the reality is you're getting upset from a point of ignorance. When you know as much as god does about why we exist and what the end of everything is supposed to look like, then you can criticize him. That's basically the lesson of Job.

Until then, you sound like a soldier refusing to take orders because from your narrow point of view, you think your commander is doing a bad job, when perhaps he knows more than you do, and is actually making a good call. But you sit back and judge from a place of ignorance. With maturity you'll stop acting this way. Some people get there, some don't.

They make more sense in a atheistic worldview than in a theistic one. For most atheists "evil" is connected to suffering. For theists it just means whatever their tyrannic god doesn't want them to do.
>Isn't your sense of justice a mere evolutionary response, which was randomly selected by nature?
Not exactly randomly, but yes, morals are subjective, obviously.

We have a moral basis. We just don't claim that it is somehow absolute (whatever that means). Now, the irony is that theist have no moral basis to judge their god. They are just blindly following orders.

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

and

Luke 10:18
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Same. Were at a point in time in history where we need an open and broad based discussion of religion across the board. You take a simple look at religious history and you can see that all these forks can't be right. You begin to understand that most of the forks in religion and stories, laws, and books are nothing more than control constructs.

That being said, you know in your heart of hearts that there is clearly a creator(s). You know there's a back story and you know there's more to you than what is put on in the human world. You know there is something beyond and powerful beyond words at the heart of your existence. You know this to be reflected in every aspect of the universe. You know what's good and what's bad. You know what it feels like to love....

It's as if this truth was fractured and littered throughout various religions. No one religion holds the whole truth or understanding therein. There are lies in every religion and they were set upon because men understood how powerful they were w.r.t to controlling people's minds/spirits.

Instead of discussing things like this, people focus on shit tier habbenings in the world. /pol likes to behave like they're so woke and red-pilled but talk about silly ass politicians, interracial mixing, and other nonsense that is just another side of the blue pill normalcy of low brained pleblets.

Did you read what I posted before? You're proving my point exactly of "only arguing for half" of what god supposedly is.

If you gave your nephew matches and knew he was going to play with them, no, of course you didn't "make" him do anything. You're arguing from the standpoint of being ONLY all knowing.

But if you also CREATED your nephew knowing everything ahead of time, you don't just "know" his nature, you MADE his nature. You created him, you created his body, you created his brain, you created the matches, you created this circumstance, and you gave him the matches knowing way ahead of time EXACTLY how everything would turn out.

In that case, yes, you MADE him pull out the matches.

Wtf is this beta cuck ask no questions shit tier dribble? Assuming all of creation is an aspect of God and you are one in control of your own conceptions and actions, the whole point is for you to decide how you'd be God... What mistakes would you make given total control. What realizations would you make if given access to the infinitude of possibility? and then you act it out with every breath you take.

I'm not sure what kind of subservient lockin you've resolved on in your later years. However, the point of life isn't to believe in (((ONE))) of histories civilizations that decided to create a narrative as to who God is. The point of life my friend is to journey deeply and figure out just what that means for yourself.

Christianity and all the other Middle-eastern organized religions are late as fuck to the game of religion and creation stories.

The thing about the truth is that it is as old as creation/universe. No new spin or story can mask that because its imprinted on everything in the universe.

Ignorance is in believing that just recently people came to understand who god was and wrote a 100% accurate book on him. Human beings who lie and who thirst for power... And that somehow under the oppressive kingdom of rome that book and truth managed to magically get out. Ignorance is in ignoring the thousands of years of oppression and force that made christianity/judiasm/muslim religion flourish.

Ignorance is in ignoring the truths of history. The truths found in all of creation in the hopes that abiding by some human made book is going to grant you access to paradise....

I'm nobodies fucking soldier or subservient cuck. I'm most certainly not the soldier/subservient cuck of some fucbois who decided to write a control manual to cloud my faith and understanding about the infinitude of creation and god.

A narrow point of view is one set upon by a specific patron of a specific organized religion and you can fuck right off w/ your bullshit.

Stars existed before the bible.
Civilizations and religions thousands of years before the bible laid claim to it formulated the same beliefs under different conceptualizations.

You sound young and dumb and unaware of religious history which is fine.. everybody needs a starting point and organized religion provides that.

You are agreeing with an asinine post about physical laws and the supernatural. You are clearly the one without any clue about philosophy or science.

So you're a self-monologue worshipper. Of course a man who has crowned himself god has no need for religion.

Oh, thanks Captain Kirk. How did the stars get there? Big bang? Thats a religion also.

The fact you think it's asinine gives credence to both Heisenberg and Dunning-Kruger. Why don't you explain to us how unintelligent objects can magically move themselves.

Your pictures are painting you to be a retarded troll, but I'll bite because I'm bored.

To "reiterate", my entire argument is based off of only 2 assumptions, not pertaining to any specific god or anything else.

1.God is all-knowing
2.God created everything

If you don't accept either of these, then this argument isn't pointed towards you, and I don't even know why you're replying. But if you do accept them, then this isn't a straw man, and you're just being an idiot.

What about the argument is wrong? Please, I'm waiting.

Your picture makes no sense in this context. Gnostics never approved of this stuff you are complaining about. THEY were persecuted and tortured by the church. Jesus never advocated violence, only YHWH did that.

The Vedas are still older than the book of Zoroaster. So what is your point exactly? If Gnosticism can't be legitimate because it came later then Zoroastrianism can't be legitimate because it came after the Vedas. Your logical is absolutely retarded and you seem completely impervious to reason. Bye.

>Why don't you explain to us
Atheists don't have to explain the mysteries of the universe, They just have to reason why the theist's explanations are bollocks.

>>127135360

Why is it that all the forces are such, and balanced so well that the sun can form and burn at all? You're not even trying to question why things are the way they are.

its acutally very simple

we live in the 3d

not much harder than that

angels rebelled not because of free will but because of extra dimensional reasons we dont understand, if you think angels are 3d than kys
