Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

Its just habit you know. Atheist and agnostics and deism [whatever that is] always come out swinging…..

Yeah, I would love that, “conducive to constructive discourse”

Perhaps retribution for the times we were killed and tortured for being "heretics," but who knows?:eek:

Folks we have a Comedeism here, but I think Jay Leno is funnier. Sorry man….

I find your cognitive dissonance quite amusing, actually.

Also, you might want to go ahead and repent while you can. Laughing at godless comedians like Jay Leno is a sin. It leads to witchcraft and lesbianism. Jerry Falwell said so.

Do you think that being afraid of death should motivate to believe in God?
Yes! The result of believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is the revelation of this gift, the gift of the eternal life with God forever. Since all human will die, no matter what, God made a promise that there is eternal life after death. The only way a Christian can have this eternal life is after death and that is the reason why death is really gift from God.

Why does your god rely on fear of death to promote belief in himself? If he wanted everyone to believe, as the Bible says he supposedly does, he could just reveal himself to everyone, and BOOM, no more unbelief. No more people going to hell due to lack of evidence to sway their mind otherwise.

Suppose I am an ex-muslim turned atheist and when death knocks at my door I start resuming my belief in Allah.
I can’t comment of Muslim, but on Christianity, yes. Death sometimes comes un-announce, you know hearth attack, hit by a train, place crash and so on.

The NOT fear of death anymore is after one believes in God and not before. it’s a revelation from God. After believing in the Lord Jesus Christ this revelation will follow and this will strengthen your faith in God.

He did reveal Himself thru the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jn 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

It's not like they have much of a choice. Believe in God, or he will launch you into a firey pit in the center of the Earth, and torture you for an eternity. If you think that fear plays no part in Christian conversion, then you are sadly mistaken friend.

You are not getting the point. If God really wanted everyone to be saved. He could just appear right here, right now. There would be NO more unbelief, but no, he provides little to no evidence for his existence, then gets mad at people and throws them in hell when they don't believe.

Start believing in God and you will see what you looking for, and that is a promise. Soon you will be debating the atheist, the agnostics, and all those isms, tics, and so on….

How can you believe in something which no evidence is present to affirm its existence, might I ask?

You still didn't answer my question. If God truly wants everyone to be saved, then why doesn't he appear right here, right now, to everyone? There would be absolutely no more unbelief if he did that. Yet he doesn't.

I don’t know what to tell you anymore. I said start believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will see what you are looking for and that is, the goodness of the Almighty God.

That's the problem. When Christians are confronted with difficult questions, they just cop out, and resort back to the "you just gotta believe" bullcrap. I did believe...at one time. I am an ex-Christian. I lost belief in the Christian god after 15+ years of daily prayer to a god who wouldn't even bother to speak back. Seemed a bit more than coincidental to me.

If you believe enough, you will create the perception of this God.

Seems a fairly straight forward response.

So either you didn't believe enough or you've came to doubt the reliability of your perception.
