@iTritton Like I said, because he can. Think it about it. If you had the power to do, well..ANYTHING, do you honestly think you would worry about what "insects" get hurt during your plans? You would have a goal set up, and some people would be elevated in life to help attain that goal, while some people will get crushed along the way. When you walk down the street rushing to work and step on an ant, do you stop, stay, "OH NO!" turn around and tend to the ant? No, you keep going. So does God.

@DaringDarkwingDuck but why to good people?

[DaringDarkwingDuck]

Of course God isn't fair. And he doesn't have to be. I mean, holy shit, he's GOD. He can kick my ass, your ass, and everyone else's ass at the same time just by blinking an eye. He does what he wants, because he CAN.

Just like animals aren't held for something they don't understand people should not be held accountable for not understanding God whether we have a soul or not

[nounever]

Yes.

"The real issue here is whether God has revealed him self in an adequate (?) way to everybody on the planet ..." "He indeed (?) has done that."

Since when? And how? Says who?

And what is fair about allowing all kinds of indifferent treatment to mankind?

Stand to fair biblical godly reason?

@sjd198302 If he wanted people to only worship him then he should've stripped satan of his powers when he was cast out of heaven. How in the world does an omnipotent being allow a fucking talking serpent to doom his beloved mankind. Also, if lucifer was god's prodigal angel, how did he end up being cast out. I mean this was in heaven, so how the fuck did sin get into lucifer. It makes no sense. God sucks ass. Life without him would be great because then there will be no life.

@sjd198302 It wouldn't be a bad idea for him to force people against their will to be with him. Hell he forces people to live against their will. Nobody chooses whether they live life or not. We gotta deal with war, famine, earthquakes, etc. People are being constantly fucked over by life because of the circumstances they were given by god. He claims to be extremely benevolent but creates a place called hell to send the people he "loves" that chose another path.

[sjd198302]

@MDDLFNGZ2YA: Does God create people with sin, or does he create people with free will and the ability to sin if the choose to? God doesn't send people to hell; people send themselves there by rejecting Him and chosing to live without Him. What is God to do? Force people against their will to be with Him for eternity when they reject Him and fight tooth and nail to get Him out of their lives? The ultimate misery(hell) is living an existance without God, and it's our choice.

[MDDLFNGZ2YA]

Fuck god!!! He creates people with sin then punishes those people for sinning. I dont give a fuck who he is, he has no right to create a person, make em live miserably through life and turn around and send them to ultimate misery just because they picked up habits that would never exist if it weren't for him.
