Whats Gods motivation for allowing all of his foolish creatures to exist, and whats stopping him from not destroying all these things in todays times, which are gradually becoming like the days of Noah. Discuss.

Why would god need to destroy the universe on account of what's happening on earth?? somebody's got a case of the universe-revolves-around-me syndrome.

Most Christians beleive the entire universe revolves around thier mythology.

Because he's loving. Looking at the condition of the earth now I can say the prior statement now with full confidence. Still, being human and susceptible to sin I have times where I lack faith in his love. But despite any weaknesses I may have, I know that God's love is great enough to overcome all things. Especially all of those things that you've mentioned above.

Shut up Whob

Because he didn´t make a mistake.

He loves us.

Why doesn't God start from scratch?

Would you want to destroy your favorite comedy/drama/live-action/reality show?

But isn't he going to do it eventually? Isn't that kind of the whole point of Revelations - God saying "bugger this, time to chuck the trash and move on."

Oh yes. I can look at the world today, or during anytime period for that matter, and I am presented with irrefutable proof God is loving.

And by irrefutable I mean "no". None. Nadda. Zip.

But then again we can just chalk that up to "God doesn't interfere." Except when he does which has usually involved violence and death. Which we then chalk up to the God clause - "God is good and can do no wrong and thus everything he does is Good, even if by any rational standard it would be considered wrong. Hitlerific wrong even."

I fear my faith in his love is a rather... nonexistent thing. Just like my faith he exists at all.

Winner!

Why? Because doing so would erase all the great things that have occurred in existence
