Happy murdered children reach for Jesus |
Let’s take these one at a time.
Prayer. No problem there
except in many Christian sects God is portrayed as having started free will and
won’t interfere with human affairs. So what good is done by a prayer to a God
who doesn’t listen? In other sects God is seen as directly intervening in human
affairs, thus prayer should help. Those Christians can pray and hope that God
is listening (he is by definition) and cares enough about the specifics to do
something. Many times prayers go unanswered. Jesus wants children with him and they will be happy for ever. If that is true, why not take them all? Why wait until some madman murders them? Will they be happy if they never grow up? Who wants to spend eternity as a 6 year old? Are their parents suffering for some arcane reason (karma coming down?)? Doesn’t make any sense to me.
The Devil walks the Earth. If the Devil is a fallen angel then he should be subject to God’s will like all the rest of us. So why does God let him roam the earth doing evil things to innocents? Just so Jesus can have them to play with? Why doesn’t God just take him out?
Just God’s will. Ok, I know the assertion that we can never know the mind of God, so we can never know why he would do something completely mean and cruel. I thought God loved us so much that he can’t stand to see us suffer. Really? Cancer? War? Rape? Murder of children? This is love? I don’t get it. Really, I don’t get it. And if all those children, and the thousands of other children killed each year in wars and by diseases and by starvation and by murder are killed because it is God’s will, who wants a God like that?
Which brings me to this point: I certainly don’t want one like that.

While reading this, it made me think to... who made GOD? If god was at the beginning of the time, so who made god to start the beginning of time? In other words, if there was nothing and then there was him/her/it, who made that? So are we praying to a wrong god or should we be praying to the creator of god? There are approximately 100 billion billion planets in the universe so the chance of life on another planet is much greater than winning lottery (which people do win). So, what god controls life on those planets, or even better is there a god democracy where they have to be voted into who would control the earth or other planets? Which makes me think if our god is equivalent to former president (always on vacation), would explain the 2000 years of human cruelty...
ReplyDeleteThe story of human life started on a shitty note if you follow the bible. The one thing he told us not to do we did it. The first big family created a scandal by murdering the brother. So how can we expect more of humans when at the beginning of time (as some believers think how life started), we were all messed up...
