Not true. God knows where the willing hearts are and He will provide a way to get the Gospel to them.Despite a nonsensical quote, most of the world is born into their religion thinking it's the right one. Billions upon billions going to hell because the only thing they did wrong was being born in the wrong part of the world.
God is holy and His Heaven is holy, without sin.Nothing proves you worship a "Loving God" like basing an eternity of suffering and torment on that.
Please justify causing an event where untold babies and small children drown, and I don't give a damn what you call it or don't call it, there is no justification.
My concern is in the fact that educated adults believe this was an actual event. The concept is so absurd, the logistics (gathering/feeding/etc.) are absurdly beyond what could even be done today, and the blind raging hatred of a god that could do such a thing. Then you view him as a 'nice guy'. That is seriously messed up, and a clear demonstration of the control religion has, as explained by Voltaire "Those that can make you believe in absurdities, can make you commit atrocities."
You've already stated that you believe there is no justification so in your eyes I can't justify anything no matter what I post. Since according to you the worldwide flood never even happened I have to wonder if your ire is sincere. Do you feel this same way about the millions of babies who are aborted year after year?Please justify causing an event where untold babies and small children drown, and I don't give a damn what you call it or don't call it, there is no justification.
Well, we're making some progress here. At least we are now referred to as educated adults.My concern is in the fact that educated adults believe this was an actual event.
Have you made a serious study of the flood and the ark? (No wiki included.) Anyway, it would be beyond anything man by himself could conceive and deploy but for the God Who created the universe it is not too hard.The concept is so absurd, the logistics (gathering/feeding/etc.) are absurdly beyond what could even be done today,
God does not exhibit blind rage. He is more than a "nice guy." He is loving, patient, and all-knowing, among other attributes. If He truly was full of blind raging hatred He would have destroyed all human life long before the flood, and He wouldn't have left anyone or anything surviving.and the blind raging hatred of a god that could do such a thing. Then you view him as a 'nice guy'. That is seriously messed up, and a clear demonstration of the control religion has, as explained by Voltaire "Those that can make you believe in absurdities, can make you commit atrocities."
Ah yes, the diversion from the topic by bringing abortion into the discussion, totally irrelevant. No I do not approve of abortions as birth control, but that is not the point we are debating. But either way, abortions are an individual decision of each woman who has one, and neither your or I can judge that decision because we are not in her position.You've already stated that you believe there is no justification so in your eyes I can't justify anything no matter what I post.

No, for the simple reason I cannot give any viable consideration to the most absurd fantasies in your bible. The list is long, all from the imaginations of men that understood nothing of reality. A&E, stopping the sun, Noah and the fantasy cruise, and many more. Logic and reason leaves me shaking my head that any mentally capable adult clings with such ignorance to these children's fairy tales.Have you made a serious study of the flood and the ark?

XD: Again, you are posing a question as if God is required to give you an answer for His actions. I don't think you are high enough on the organizational chart to question Him. His justification is/was all that was required and, I dare say, involved decisions which you couldn't possibly fathom. You still can't accept the fact that God is in charge in the world and your opinions have no meaning to Him. Hard lesson to learn.
If you are going to quote Voltaire, explain this comment by him: "What is faith? Is it to believe that which is evident? No. It is perfectly evident to my mind that there exists a necessary, eternal, supreme, and intelligent being. This is no matter of faith, but of reason"
No diversion and not irrelevant. I wanted to know if it was the death of babies that disturbed you, or if you were using their deaths as an attempt to stir emotions against God.Ah yes, the diversion from the topic by bringing abortion into the discussion, totally irrelevant.

Only God knew what would have happened had He allowed them to live to adulthood. He knew what was best for the fate of all mankind.Additionally it is totally different than a god killing or whatever you want to call it every single baby (born, living/breathing) on the entire planet with a single event.
God doesn't need me to defend or justify His actions. His ways are perfect and mine are not.And while you condemn abortion, you continue defend and justify the drowning of untold numbers of babies and small children. That is some sick twisted logic.
And yet, many mentally capable adults do believe the Word of God, the Bible, in its entirety. It's not a book of fairy tales. But it's not my job to convince you of that. That's for the Holy Spirit.No, for the simple reason I cannot give any viable consideration to the most absurd fantasies in your bible.

If being hurt by the church causes you to lose faith in God, then your faith was in people, Not God!
Psalm 118:8
Just a douche on the street who is trolling. He's not trying to get answers. Asking for proof of a change of kind is a loaded question. There was never a noticeable change at any one point in time. Evolution is a slow change over millions of generations. The proof is in the ground. As we find more evidence, the gap in tree of how things evolved is filled in. Of course we don't know exactly what when on. But the theory of evolution is bearing out as we learn more, not being disproved.
You god is the figment of your imagination, you should be the one questioning, as I can't.
Alas...... fearful little man still trying to convince others his god is real through irrational threats of the boogie man in his mind.
I hate when people use the stereotype phrases, "He drinks like a sailor" or "He swears like a sailor."Reba: Having just read your comment about your time in the Navy, I ran across this article, "Avoiding a mouth like a sailor (or a baseball manager)." This experience is something I think we all went through in the military.:laugh:
I hate when people use the stereotype phrases, "He drinks like a sailor" or "He swears like a sailor."
Somehow I made it thru my career (including Chiefs' initiation) without profanity. Same for Hubby, who retired his active duty Navy career of 23 years without profanity. No swearing or off-color jokes necessary to succeed in our careers.
Ah, got it. Thanks for the link.When I made my post, I forgot to give you the address for the referenced article. I didn't see it as insulting but something I witnessed in my travels.
