I asked a Simple Question How did you know Yahweh is A he?
Let me indulge you as your brothers seem to have run out of gas. The reason is because the Bible describes Him as such; unless you want us to to invent a pronoun specifically for God, we will continue to use He... My reasoning though (and this is just me reasoning) is that God being a Spirit Being is most probably an asexual Entity.

C'mon.. Wen is it gon b time... According to xtianity earth is 6000 yrs old..
Imagine wat man has had 2 endure within dt period...
Countless wars, floods, drought and natural catastrophes, genocides,starvation, plagues (such as the black plague dt cut Europe's populations by almost 1/3)...
How much more do we av to endure in a system whr we were neva consulted b4 being thrust in...
I respect your points. Especially your last statement. We were never even consulted before we were created, this singular facts leaves no justification for questioning God.

Perhaps if we asked to be created, we would have the rights to question certain things we are not happy with. Bro, I am not happy with evil too. The least I can do is to help people, love people and pray that those i cant help find help.

Earth is not 6000 years old according to christianity. That figure was gotten by Archbishop James Ussher who took the creation days as literal and assumed that the Bible had complete genealogies.
The fact remains, no one knows the age of the earth.
Some Scientists who think the earth is billions of years old trust that nothing happened over millions of years to affect the decay of radioisotopes...

The thing is, there is little we can do about the existence of evil. And we must do that little.

To say God does not exist because of the existence of evil is irrational.

You can check the front page, I posted a clip on the origin of evil. i'd like you to see it.

Thanks.

So because he created them its now okay to let them suffer?
If so he is wicked
I dont have an answer to that question. I only have a solution. And it is to abide by Jesus one and only commandment: LOVE

However if you are so angry and have the power, I suggest you go meet God in heaven and take some policemen with you, so you can do justice to Him for His wickedness.

The picture below summarizes all that atheists (dead, present and unborn) will ever be to the most high God. A harmless, very angry beetle.

Bill gates is not an atheist. Melinda gates is a christian. She is a billionaire and they run a joint foundation. These people you mentioned are not as angry and insecure as NL atheists. They are nothing like you.
68% of the worlds billionaires are christians and they also donate to charity.

Pictures of starving children in the Biafra war was said to be what made Steve Jobs(cofounder of apple) turn to an atheistic religion. He couldn't understand why any God with a drop of human sympathy would let people suffer like this.
All those seriously sick and starving people, people with real problems that he could have helped. He left all of them to help you pass an exam, marry, get a job, get more money, have a car e.t.c
If your situation isn't immediately life threatening and you said God answered your prayer, then God is a misanthropic being.
Some people will claim that these people were not children of God, or that is the work of the devil, or that this earth does not matter.

I'll ask all those people to think about what they are saying
These children live in the poorest of poor countries, they have no education, no food, no clean water and for some no parents, the missionaries don't even want to go to these war ravaged places and when they do they only cover a small territory, so most of these people have never even heard of Jesus or even Yahweh. They never had a chance to hear God's word.
They're too busy trying to survive with nothing. But they are still children of God right? So why would he let them suffer more than any human ever should, I'm sure some of them wished they were never born into this life, but they were

And you say God got you a job, a car, a house, admission, more money. Do you now understand while its stupid to say God answered your prayer? That he left all these suffering people and wasted his power on you and your irrelevant need..
In a world with God and pastors with jets this should not exist.


God either does not exist or he is Malevolent

Again, the atheist have defined God and God does not fit their fancy definition, therefore God does not exist. It is as foolish as me saying NL ought to pay me money per post and in dollars. NL does not exist as they do not fit my idea of what NL should be. That is the summary of the average atheist thinking.

Bill gates is not an atheist. He knows that it makes sense to believe in God.

Which one of you can say it makes sense to believe in God with this you hate filled petty minds.

It is an insult to mention these peoples names. Mark Zuckerberg sef come Africa, we no hear pian about his atheism.

I'm sorry. I ddnt know that...

But some studies have shown that religious people are more charitable than atheists. You can search google for the study.

Bill Gates is not an atheist.
Sorry.
And for each of those people mentioned, there are a million or more religious charities, far outnumbering them.
Moreover, these people u mentioned have businesses that benefit from giving to charity.
Real givers are giving even without owning businesses.

So, atheists are still behind.
They are the least charitable.

Of course it will be okay to complain and try to contact the lecturer to express your feelings.

What will be irrational is to conclude that the lecturer does not exist simply because he did not attend the lecture himself.

Don't here is this God that allegedly created the universe but depends on people like winner01 and co to explain to others why evil exist. No God that exist will rely on any of them to explain anything about him to any body. Read their answers and see the gibberish they are saying. When you tell them that they worship nothing but their imaginations they start crying baaaa baaaa baaaa.

Winner01 says he doesn't like evil. He says if he sees evil he'll try his best to stop it, yet he claims that his God whom he claims is the epitome of goodness and love allows evil to exist for reasons he can not articulate or fail at articulating. These guys just keep attributing contradictory characters to this imaginary God of theirs.

God is loving, just and merciful but he allows evil to exist. Take a look at the world today, does it look as if any good, loving or merciful God has any role to play in it? We have good, loving and merciful humans doing and trying their best.

I just want these christians to give us an example of God's love to humanity that is tangible and objective to all humans. Something that all humans when presented with will say oh that's and example of God's love.

There is far more greater good than evil in the world. The fact that your challenges has blurred your vision does not mean everyone's challenges has.

And I said before that bill and mark are the faces of their respective companies. If they bad mouth religion it will reflect on the company, as will a sex tape, arrest, bad health, arrest e.t.c they are very careful. America is a largely homophobic, racist and misogynistic society. Yet they would rather vote a homosexual, a woman, a black person in office than an atheist in a poll conducted a decade ago.
