Emma the Dork (cheesehead) how the hell are we supposed to make a relationship with someone who

A: we've never met

B: we've never talked to

C: has never done anything for you!

why didn't he save the people on the 9/11 plane and leave some sign that they shouldn't fly that day? why didn't he warn the german government not to hire hitler?? these are things that the victims could not control, so why didn't he save them? thats not making us perfect robots. thats giving us LIFE!

Marley (Marleyme95) | 5270 comments It is impossible to prove his existence, and your religion does terrible things to others, and causes problems, and stupid thinking, which you are proving, right now.


message 657: by Marley (new)

Marley (Marleyme95) | 5270 comments You're saying you have a relationship with a invisible person, that controls the world...

THAT, is insanity at its finest, If relgion weren't such a widespread affliction, then you'd be locked away..

Satan also created science. We use science to heal. So Satan saves lives more than God.

God did not give Satan the power to create science. God doesn't want anything to do with Satan. He does not control Satan, he can but he chooses not to. Satan created science on his own.

Marley (Marleyme95) | 5270 comments If god believes, and thinks every word in the bible is the truth, like you do, and that it's okay to kill homosexuals, and that slavery is okay in some circumstances, then yes, I'd rather be in hell, because if you go by a scientific standpoint, After a certain point your body wouldn't feel pain, and I'd already be dead, so I'd do as I pleased, because you couldn't hurt me...

"1019252 ummm the world wouldnt even exist if it wasnt for god, so therefore there must be religion "

But whatever created God is more improbable then God, and so on, until we have an infinite regress of almost zero possibility.

"Satan also created science. We use science to heal. So Satan saves lives more than God. "

I love you.

"I'D RATHER BE IN HELL WWITH MARIA!

Hell is where all the cool people end up anyway. So, party!

Marley (Marleyme95) | 5270 comments HELL YES....Then I can keep my normal lifestyle or Anger, gluttony, and LUST! Cause I know some cute boys that shall be joining us for eternity! What punishment will this be, tell us, I'd LOVE to know, since if we're already dead, what can Satan really do?

""Scientific" so you cant really judge them by science "

NOMA doesn't work here.

The Jews think that Hell is just a separation from God. They might be right. So, because that is no problem, I have an eternity to have fun!

It is all direct quotes from the bible, I just got freaked at the eating baby part, wow, The bible sounds like a good read.


message 674: by Marley (new)

Marley (Marleyme95) | 5270 comments It is taken directly from the bible, or as you call it "God's Word". Therefore, none of it is lies.


message 675: by Marley (new)

Marley (Marleyme95) | 5270 comments Well, then why did they change the wording....

Is it because slaves were okay in that day, so the men that wrote the bible just went with it...

The New Maria (emeraldmaria) | 1950 comments Hahaha, no. Again, it's directly taken from the bible. No analysis I believe. You asked for it though...

"they dont believe in jesus therefore, they are not correct"

Jews were around first, so technically, you copied them.

"yes but it does not accout for the symbolism of gods word, so therefore it is not true like the slave obey your masters quote "

Yeah, because baby-eating is full of symbolism.

We don't need to twist the Bible. It's twisted enough already for what we try to prove.

But, if the actual quote is the same, then it doesn't matter what they call it. The quote is the same meaning.

Okay. Someone said that religion is so widespread because it is the truth (I don't remember who said it.) But there are SO MANY different religions that are ALL widespread. Does that mean they are all true? Ha.

Emma, I'm sorry if this offends you, but you are one of the most closed-minded people I've ever met. Haven't you read anything I posted when this question came up?

If we didn't experience trials, if we didn't have pain and loss than we would never truly learn. It's like keeping a baby from falling when they're trying to walk. If they don't fall they never learn how to balance themselves and will never be able to walk.

"If god believes, and thinks every word in the bible is the truth, like you do, and that it's okay to kill homosexuals, and that slavery is okay in some circumstances, then yes, I'd rather be in hell, because if you go by a scientific standpoint, After a certain point your body wouldn't feel pain, and I'd already be dead, so I'd do as I pleased, because you couldn't hurt me..."

Where does it say anywhere in the Bible that God likes to kill homosexuals and that slavery is okay?

"It is taken directly from the bible, or as you call it "God's Word". Therefore, none of it is lies."

It honestly depends on what version you're reading.

"Yeah, because baby-eating is full of symbolism."

I'm confused. Where in the Bible is a baby eaten?

"f we didn't experience trials, if we didn't have pain and loss than we would never truly learn."

And, as I said, was the Holocaust allowed by God to give the Jews a chance to be brave people?

" Bible that God likes to kill homosexuals "

20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

" ..."


And as I said, everyone experiences different trials. Even if they go through the same thing it can mean something different to each of them. They aren't all the same - they're not robots. They all have different feelings and thoughts and emotions. Yes, they're experiencing the same physical thing. But the mental and emotional things can be completely different for each person.

What book is that from?




message 686: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (djinni) | 7365 comments Mod
So, if everyone has different trials, Hitler was justified in giving the Jews that trial?

That was from just a regualr Bible.

This is from Nephi 13

13:9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them, and doth declare their sin to be even as Sodom, and they cannot hide it. Wo unto their souls, for they have rewarded evil unto themselves!

Homosexuality (the sin of Sodom) is evil.


message 687: by Jayda (new)

Jayda Hitler isn't justified at all. And he'll be held accountable at judgement day, just like the rest of us for all of our sins. No one is justified to sin. God doesn't stop us from sinning, however, because he gave us free-will, as I've said countless times.

But what version of the Bible? xD And I mean from John, Luke, Matthew, that sort of book from the Bible.

Yes, in God's eyes homosexuality is "evil" just as all sin is, from lying to stealing to murdering. They all have different degrees of "evil" in them, but all sin is evil.

You're missing the point. Was the Holocaust a trial, given by God for the Jews? If it was, what a horrible person to do that. If it wasn't why didn't he stop it?

It's in Genesis and Deuteronomy.

"Obviously god wanted the jews to be put through a time of peril so that they could become closer to him.... by having problems you look twards god for hope so thats what he was doing.... and anyway all the jews that were killed probably went to heaven, so it all works out"

That is absolute vile. So, all people should be put through horrific, disgusting acts of pure cruelty, just so they get a chance to "look towards God"?! So, if we decided to torture you and your family, you would be okay with that, because it will let you go to Heaven? (Which does not exist. ) So, it's okay that millions are dying of AIDS in Africa too I suppose, because their suffering makes God happy?

It can't be both ways. It can't be 'trials' that God gave us and be horrible sin that Hitler committed. Because doesn't that just make God exactly like Hitler? Except Hitler gets punished for it, but it's okay if God caused the tragedies? And God couldn't have given us the trials if Hitler hadn't actually done the physical things necessary for it to happen. So shouldn't God thank Hitler for the help? AHA. What a radical thing to say.
