Existence of God - and if there is one....

[Dizon]

You wanna know why there's evil in the world? It's 'cause of "Adam and Eve." They allowed themselves to be tempted by Satan and they disobeyed God and stuff, so then Adam and Eve weren't perfect anymore, so now we have all this crap to deal with today...like homework.

But I don't understand how dinosaurs existed when the Bible doesn't mention them (I'm not sure if it does, I'm not gonna read the whole Bible, it's the most boring book in the world). If Adam and Eve were alive with all the other animals, including dinosaurs, then how come when the dinosaurs became extinct, some of the other animals survived, including humans...

So someone explain dinosaurs.

[StretchNutz]

dinosaurs lived 60 million years apart from ancient humans, humans and dinosaurs never interacted

[Dizon]

Yeah, but why did God wait 60 million years after creating the earth before making humans and other animals?

[jillb_14]

that is only 60 million yrs. in OUR time..it gods time it may only be a day, god thinks on a totally different level than we do and we will never understand it and we aren't ment to.we aren't supposed to know y god allows evil, we should jist accept it and do what we need to do to prevent it.
i truly don't know how some of you go every day not beleaving in god. what are you living for? god gave you life for a reason..b/c he loved you and he has a reason for you being here.do yall jis go day to day jis thinkin yall were here to fuck and get high? gaw yall...that is sooo sad

[Ghetto Kupid]

I Think God Allows Evil to test some people that claim that they got religion,if they real they can take some evil and turn it into good.i believe in God,im a baptist and i go to church every Sunday,i know there is a God cuz we wuznt put here by magic.God lets people die cuz its they time to go.if it aint,he lets them live.IM SORRY dats the truth.and yea why people change up christmas,people think its all bout fat azz Sandy Clawz.sandy clawz aint doin shit but lying to deez little kids,when i have kids imma tell dem da truth bout everything,if they ask where do babies come from.imma say,the momma's pussy and daddies dick.HEHE,g2g peeps.

[+ B r i t t a n y +]

as my dad told me..."i pray at home."

Ehy does God allow evil? well, define God, the creator or the oversee-er.
The creator 'God' my not have control, it may just be an entity that created the world, but has no control over it, and can't do anything but sit back and watch the show.
The over-see-er 'God', well, why does God allow evil? because otherwise there can be no real good? well, whats wrong with just harmony? simple, this idealism is based on a sadistic God.

Honestly, i don't think God exists, and certainly not any from an organised religion. as far as i'm concerned, those religions act merely as a social conscious to allow people to elevate moral standing and to persecute others, as well as to maintain a hold over peoples moral obligations past a point where they reasonably canwith law.
and ass for those who say it's wrong to question God....pffft. If there was a God, i wouldn't want to be embraced by it if it plead such ignoorance on such a large scale as to be  basis on life. To believe and devote to without qustion or proof seems ridiculous to me. we're not expected to believe anything else without questioning it for logic or having proo, but on this one occasion, a huge decision it is, we're told by society that we should make an ignorant decision. well, count me out.i refuse to be a slave to a God thati don't think exists. I live my life how i want, and i answer only to the law and the moral boundaries i've set for myself on what is right and what is wrong.
But, it could be argued that God exists for some people. what is existence. well, for each person, it's how you percieve life, whatu know and think and believe. so, if u believewithout thatthere is a god, then in your life, God exists. similarly, imagine that u're name is elmo. but, it's not elmo, is it? you're michelle, or Britt or Rochi or Rod or whoever, and you know this, it's your reality. but what if u were wrong? well, in your mind, you're not, and you can't tell whats in another persons mind, so in reality of how your world is, it's true. therefore, to have the existennce of God in this reality is entirely possible.
My reality does not have a God. i control my fate, and for me thats real, because i can't see it another way, and i can't be in your mind tobelieve it any different.

[Panz]

matt, i think there must be a god but your point was a good one. You explained what you thought very well man.

[SeXiEgUrLiE]

i respect other peoples beliefs but that doesnt mean i agree with them..just like people arent always going to agree with what i believe. i do believe in God..im not perfect and i dont pretend to be..but i still do believe. i have one question...Doc (anyone remember him?) was an atheist but he told me he still celebrated Christmas, he told it was for other reasons though. for those of u who dont believe in God or anything- why do u celebrate Christmas? (im just curious

[Ghetto Kupid]

yea why u celebrate christmas and u dont believe in GOD.it damn sho aint no Clausmas,for all u sandy clawz worshippers.
its Gods birthday on christmas,

Man Hold Up,dont let me start to whooping and preaching.

I'd rather live my whole life assuming there is a God, only to find out that there isn't, than to live my whole life assuming there isn't a God, only to find out there is.

Using the old quote "Don't assume, it only makes an ass out of u and me".... why live a lie if there's always the doubt that nothing exists??

"He sewed his eyes shut, because he is afraid to see" - NIN, Heresy

My theory is that a deity was needed to control people, kinda like how santa claus is used on a smaller scale with kids:

"Be good, or you will 'suffer in hell/get no presents' (delete as applicable)"

there is no way that the parents wouldn't get their kids anything, that'd be too damn cruel... similar how there isn't a hell.... just threaten the people, and they'll be so shit-scared of doing anything bad, they'll be perfect citizens.

OK, so this doesn't apply to everyone, there are still people who do evil stuff, either because of no-fear, no-belief, or mental disorder... or, get this, they're "doing god's work". ain't that the biggest pile of bull you ever heard??

now, come on, he might not do anything if someone gets hit by a truck, but shit, someone blows up a building saying that it's in his name?? now that'd be a means to stop the shit altogether... but no.

I mean, we're 'told' that we should love one another, yadda yadda, whereas he's so fuckin selfish (and fuckin insecure) that he needs everyone (and i'm talking millions of people here kids ) to go to church every week and tell him how great he is, where he doesn't even do jack shit for us. Yeah, god is great..... fucker.
he's so insecure..... here's how i see it:

"I see all, I know all, I am your god... but c'mon, does my bum look big in this cloud???"

He doesn't exist in my view.... any religion is dumb.... they all proclaim how god created the earth, he made us, he made the trees, plants, birds, bees, T&A, and swedish porn... but it's really this belief, religion, call it what you will, that destroys us....... how many evil acts are done in 'his' name? and it all causes war.

"I know what it takes to break you..... I'll kill everything that made you" - Godhead, Break You Down

'he' allows evil because 'he' doesn't exist...... and if he does, he's having one big fuckin joke by putting us through this life.

bleh, i can't think of much more to say

Peace....
