They cannot even agree on the nature of God, if one looks closely why has God progressed with human beings. In the old days he had the personality that men had which is killing by brutal means as a form of punishment, in the present now that killing is totally wrong God suddenly does not like to kill again.

The europeans stole the jewish god who was created by the jews at that time in their own image and transformed him and his personality from the very tribal, manovalent and war monger he was into a universally accepted entity. . . . .

@lady
Sorry oh but I could not help but ask where is the justice in killing innocent people? Those mass genocides if they are to be believed wiped out more than 23 million people and that is just between genesis and joshua. World war II was only able to wipe out 43 million people that was with fighter jets and was ships and all that, the hebrews managed theirs with swords and slings and arrows.
The poster tried to raise a point which is that there is really no record of the devil being responsible for these mass killings, the devil's own problem was that he made man see good and evil, which is not such a bad thing but God took his anger squarely on man and visiting it on their generations.
Really what do we know about the devil? He came to steal to kill and to destroy is what the bible says but if we look critically God is the chief architect of killing stealing and destroying innocent people.
So tell me where you see justice in all this really tell me.
where is the love and justice, when god kills or orders people to kill, enslave, steal, rape, lie and destroy each other? what amazes me is how quick christains are quick to point their fingers on allah, saying that he is manovalent, evil and dangerous when their own god is no better. . . . . . . .

[quote author=~Lady~ link=topic=179872.msg2957052#msg2957052 date=1224265677]Some people ask why does evil exist and why doesn't God just get rid of him.

Well evil exists because we allow it to exist. People do evil things not God. When God pnishes people it is called Justice. When a murderer takes a life, do we say we forgive therefore you are free to go? Absolutely not. He has to pay his dues.
It is called justice.
God is of love and justice, he isn't a pushover. You can't do wrong and expect him to just turn a blind eye.
So you're wondering why God punished people in the Old Testament, it's because they were doing wrong. You don't reward someone doing bad.

People make choice that causes evil on others. When bombs are dropped God doesn't drop them, when guns are shot God doesn't fire them. People do that. So start taking responsibility for the evils of this world instead of blaming it on God.
God gave us brains to use to come up with solutions to the problems we face, instead of using that a lot of you use your brain to blame God. Why don't you come up with a solution to poverty? Why don't you come up with a solution to our dying society? When Christians are trying to do so, the rest of you raise up alarms on us. You don't realise it's all for our good. You're trying to be lawless, without laws everyone will kil each other and do whatever they want. But you all don't think of it like that. No you see God as a hinder to all the atrocious things you want to do.

God gave us hearts to love. When he says the greatest commandments is to love him and love our neighbours, he wasnt lying. If we all loved, we wouldn't hurt and evil will no longer exist. SO insttead of attacking God why not start loving all you meet. Why not show love by lending a helping and and coming up with a solution to the world's problems after all we have the brains for it.

God isn't the evil one here, it is humans and the devil that gets to humans.[/quote]its obvious you have'nt been reading your bible, where is the love when god in the bible kills and orders people to kill, steal, rape and enslave each other? where is the love? god in the bible ordered people to murder each other and you are here talking about love? where is the love?

I still wonder why christains/moslems spend time casting, binding and raining curses on satan when the bible and the koran have both shown/revealed that god is by FAR a worse creature that satan, how many people has satan killed in the bible? and how many has god killed? god in the bible ordered people to steal, kill, maim, ensalve, rape, lie,destroy etc while there is little or no recod of satan ordering people to carry out such atrocities. . . . . if there is a supernatural being that is worthy of worship it will definately be satan not god because god has done FAR worse and commited much more atrocities than satan . . . . so god people as some one here aforementioned come and defend your god and also justify all the death, destruction and evil that he commited or ordered people to commit. . . . . .

[quote author=pilgrim.1 link=topic=184294.msg2953024#msg2953024 date=1224197275]Okay, I hear you. Yes, you're right that as a Christian, I believe that there are witches, demons, the devil, angels, etc. But it is wrong and quite unhealthy to assume my position for me before you try to understand where I stand. In just the same way as it would be wrong for me to assume your position in atheism even before you have defined it for yourself, regardless of the fact that there are so many definitions of atheism given by atheists themselves.

One such wrong assumption to make is that, even though I'm a Christian who believes that such phenomena exist, I'm not driven to endanger anyone's life on that basis. Do I believe in the Bible? yes, I do - and my discussions on the forum should clarify that position so well to a casual observer. However, even as a Christian, I do not have the authority to define the way the Bible should be interpreted for ALL Christians, just as you huxley do not have the rationale or moral position to define what atheism should be for every single atheist.

I think that quite a number of people have observed this attitude in many users, and they have called our attention to it. However, the question still remains: what do we gain personally if the main feature of our interractions is to misrepresent and ridicule other people's worldviews even before we understand their raison d'etre? I believe that people can share and dialogue without pushing themselves every single time to just use every opportunity to be extreme.

Regards.[/quote]You just cant have it both ways, you believe in angels, demons, satan etc but when asked to prove their existence you digress and start talking about something else. . . . tell me or show me and example of how angels/demons have impacted the world in which we live in with evidence. . . . left for religion alone people would have been living like savages. . . rational thinking and reasoning is what makes the world a better place not angels, god, demons,jinns and allah. . . . . . . . .
