    So... is God incompetent or uncaring? Which of the two?

    Suggesting that human beings are the cause of natural disasters goes against probably every piece of observable evidence in existence and is not viable considering the visibly obvious. This requires explanation to be taken seriously.

    Let's not waste eachother's time. The bible isn't proof of anything, historically. Is has more inconsistencies than I'd care to start talking about. It was also written by men who have as much factual understanding of the supernatural as both of us do. In fact less, considering the period in...

    So... is God incompetent or uncaring? Which of the two?

    This is the stance that I take... I'm interested in understanding the views of those who do believe that this entity does exist. Indeed... free will doesn't seem so free after all.

    Ok... maybe you could give some examples of observable, substantial reasons to go from atheist to theist?

    No human being is which why I wanted to know where/how Student developed his point of view.

    The point of this was to find people's beliefs on the subject or creation. The idea I put in the OP was to let people think a little bit. I would then question the reasoning for that belief as a means not to convert anyone but to understand why people believe things which cannot be known by...

    So... is God incompetent or uncaring? Which of the two?

    I will. I just finished downloading the first one. I do seek knowledge, believe it or not. Why do you find that assumption insulting? Would you care to expand, then, on where the belief you hold comes from?

    And it displays the ability of the human mind to generate immense thought from simple ideas picked up from media, film or books and pretty much run with them with a means to sculpt them into something which can be defined as a 'reality'.

    I'd rather you didn't leave. I know these questions seem like your beliefs are either being attacked or belittled... it's not the case though. There seems to be a line to be drawn between opening one's mind and observing reality. If I opened my mind wide enough, I can begin, as I'm sure we...

    So... is God incompetent or uncaring? Which of the two?

    Many thanks. I'll check these out if I have time today. Your answer could be as simple as "My knowledge on this subject comes from books written by men who have no more factual knowledge on the conciousness of god and humans as a collective whole than either you or I do" though. Like I...

    illykitty... I know you said you were just giving your opinion on what you believe but you're asserting that god has always existed and you're giving rebuttal arguments with things like "again, you cannot apply things to god which exists for us". There's no substance to these responses so they...

    So... is God incompetent or uncaring? Which of the two?

    You're not alone. My reply was a guess at understanding the gist of what was being said. This 'one conciousness' although a nice and slightly strange notion is nothing more than what this poster was complaining about in the very first place. The human mind (ego) creating realities which...

    So... is God incompetent or uncaring? Which of the two?

    You believe we're not separate individuals? Can you give reason for that? I'm talking about the original plan set out for every man woman and child. If people believe we are separate entities (which we are... it can be sugar coated and spiritualized as much as you want but we hold social...

    You made two distinct claims to know that god does not depend on physical properties of space and time and that god is, essentially, energy. Specifically the energy representable in matter. Can you explain how you came to know both the state in which god lives and what makes up it's physical...

    Thanks for your honesty... do you often feel like you should question the things that have been told to you but hold no bearing with known physical laws? No disrespect to you but some points of view would be better expressed by the response 'Magic. That's all you need to know'. I would be like...

    Thanks for your thoughts :) I was under the impression that time (this word is misrepresented a lot, I think) was a universal constant, not only perceived by mankind but by every process in the universe. If we're the centre of the universe and we were created in god's image, then why create...

    Why is god beyond all that? Through what method does it use to scrutinize time in that way? If god existed before time existed and (I assume) it was still a thinking entity, how was anything created? No time = no occurring, forward motion process i.e creation of anything.

    I'm sure that we can all agree that, as yet, there is no proven explanation as to how matter evolved from quantum foam to solid substance. My question is that if believer's understand that a god initiated this evolution of nothing into something, what initiated the the evolution of nothing...

    9 million children die each year before they reach the age of 5. An Asian tsunami (2002 variety which killed over 250,000 people) happening every 10 days killing children only under 5. That's around 24,000 a day, 1,000 an hour, 17 or so per minute. By the time I finish this post a handful...
