  • OK, sounds like Dr. Gary Habermas just said that suffering exists because suffering is good. In the context of Christianity, that means God created suffering, because he deemed it good.

  • So does this mean suffering is good and necessary? Wouldnt a life without suffering be more worthy to live? Shouldnt eliminate suffering be our goal? Why was god so heartless to Jesus? Couldnt he forgive mankind in some other way?

  • This leaves me with the same taste in my mouth as if they were waxing poetically about the logistics of Santa delivering all the presents in one night.

    Retards.

  • I believe the living bubonic plague bacteria that causes tremendous human suffering, open sores and death were created as a result of evolution by natural selection.

    Any other explanation is too horrible to believe.

  • Meaningless waffle.

  • @JesusMostHigh You "formulated" a christian worldview? Oh please share your 'formula'. I'm intrigued!

  • @Hufflewaffle

    Yes, the scholars are indeed the ones with the knowledge, like Gary Habermas and not you, for instance. Moreover, I am well acquainted with 'real literature' why do you assume otherwise?

    I am not clinging to an archaic belief system whatsoever. I have formulated a Christian worldview based upon evidence, reason, logic and experience. I used to cling to an atheistic worldview until I realized there was no evidence whatsoever that Atheism is true.

    =)

  • @JesusMostHigh No, the scholars, the thinkers, the artists are the ones with the knowledge.They always have been. I highly recommend reading some real literature. Its those who strangle their 'knowledge' by clinging to an archaic belief system that continue to spout ignorance - they just don't seem to know any better.

  • @Hufflewaffle

    Ah, so the professionals with the relevant credentials are the ones spouting ignorance, whilst some bitter YT critic with nothing more than unsubstantiated assertions is somehow the Savior of true knowledge. LOL!

  • @JesusMostHigh Yes. I admit having trouble ignoring the dissemination of blatant ignorance when I see it taught to people who deserve better.
