Anyone who wants to dispute this, go take a look at any children's cancer ward in any hospital.

Or, there is a creator, but he wants people to suffer a great deal in this life, and have an eternity of joy in the next.
IF the children with cancer, die and go to a place of Eternal euphoria, bliss, pleasure, joy, and ecstasy, and are rewarded for the pain and suffering they went through in this life, they won't be upset that they had to suffer on earth, if God rewards them for their pain.
It is a Christian belief, that the suffering of innocent people, like the suffering of the sacrificial lamb, atones for the sins of the world, and brings Grace to earth.
Just because God is cruel doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Also, according to Christian theology, God wanted his only son to be violently tortured, where a crown of thorns, be spit on and beaten, and nailed to a cross. That's how God treats people he loves sometimes. It's how we treated his only son, or wanted his son treated, according to Christian theology.
So pointing to how much evil and pain and suffering there is in the world, is not a good argument for saying there is no God.

It is evidence against the idea of an Omnibenevolent God, which is a supposed attribute of the Judeo-Christian God.Originally posted by Matthew Mussolini View Post

Without a believe in God. People will seek allegiance to other fake deities like Anthony Faucci, Greta Thundberg, or George Floyd.Comment

What if God is just trying to experience all of existence through all life forms and sees no hierarchy to life?
of course humans are going to place greater importance on the human child than any other life form, but what if God sees no difference between the human child and the mutated cancer cell? Both are living, both will die. Everything that lives must die and decay and everything that decays feeds new life forms. Maybe God just wants to experience it ALL, manComment

What a disturbing thread intro...

father of creation -takes me from my stolen tomb

Well if there is a god and he's the one you have described then I'd still not believe there's a god ... a devil maybe but certainly not a god.Originally posted by Matthew Mussolini View PostOr, there is a creator, but he wants people to suffer a great deal in this life, and have an eternity of joy in the next.

No one on the left has tried to deify Dr. Anthony Fauci, Greta Thundberg, or George Floyd, yet there are dozens of pastors on the right who have tried to deify Donald Trump.Originally posted by 6-eyed View Post
It's Blasphemy of course but they don't seem to care.
It's almost as if they don't believe there will be any consequences after they die. Or as if the very scriptures they quote during their sermon are merely words and not the word of God.

You are reacting to a post that rivals russian disinformation in regards to the level of nonsense.. I doubt 6-eyed believes what he parrots there. I hope he don't (for his own sake mainly) -

People are ridiculous. Like you really want God to start making it obvious It exists. Which would destroy everything. Or, you still wouldn't believe it. You'd find some mechanism to explain it away, despite the mechanism being the miracle.
Once cancer is gone, then what? No stubbed toes? Skinned knees? No pain? The ability to miraculously withstand intense heat and cold?
Here's an idea: stop blaming God and start blaming marijuana cigarettes.Comment
