What has God done for you? (Christians only!)

That's great, and I hope he lives for a very long time.

However, why would god allow evil people to live for a long time, and in some cases, let the young and Innocent die?

God rarely interferes with human affairs 😬

Ya, that was the answer I was looking for. So, the fact that this man is still alive, (BTW I hope he lives a good long life) is not because god saved him from death.

Not really 😬

People with strong wills tend to live longer than those without wills

Yes, but will has nothing to do with god.

I thank God everyday for giving me the strength to not go all psycho-murder on a bunch of christians.

See...god is good. 🙂

I consider going psycho-murder on a bunch of hippy buddhists to be too easy. Nothing worth doing is that easy.

No hippy here...

Buddhism is like candy to Western religious rebels. In some ways...I feel they are Buddhism crazed. It slike a fad...and I feel it does insult.

Satan comes to take lives with him to hell. God does not rewarded the unfaithful but those who stand true to his word. Satan will never give up. If he fails to take you once he'll move on to someone else but he always returns. He isn't using anything new because all his old tricks still work just the same. Satan is mighty and powerful and cunning and can even perform miracles of his own.

"And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it." -Luke 4:6

"For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." -Revelation 16:14

Satan can do miracles. But Satan has come only to lie, steal, and destroy. Nothing more. Every miracle he will ever perform is to draw people away from Christ. Satan even had the power to copy some of God's miracles. (Moses and the Pharaoh for example: Moses threw down his staff and it turned into a snake. But the priests of Pharaoh threw down their staffs and it too turned into a snake.)

The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Now who says that God is even right. Lets flip this and "God" is the evil one that is stronger then the Devil and his greatest lie is that the Devil is bad. 😉

Assuming God does exist and that's true, we'd have a shitload more of natural disasters that can destroy a country.

True, true. I always thought the Introduction to The God's Drink Whisky was quite accurate on how the real meaning/spirituality of the Eastern religions are lost as the West tries to assimilate it on western terms and a western framework.

Thinking on it more...I think fad is a good way to approach it...unfortunately.

Satan is just a myth and is not real. Hell is only in your mind and not a place you go after you die. So calm down and don't get bent.

Getting bent hurts...I knew a guy who got bent. He was absolutely screaming in pain. Of course, I imagine it would really suck to be like a can of Coke with nitrogen bursting out of your flesh.
