God exists and is a terrible and hateful being, or God does not exist.

I see those as being the only 2 options. Which one is true, I don't know. But I definitley know that with the world we live in it's impossible for God to be a good, merciful and caring entity.

Got something against America?

The god of any religion that believes he created the Earth and everything in it.

Not all gods are war gods like the god of the OT.

Then please respond to it.

If someone goes around and creates murder, rape, assault, terror, cancer, AIDS, ect.

Would you consider them a good person? Or the scum of the earth that cares about nobody?

you're forgetting love and beauty, why do you insist on focusing on the negative?

would we know what love and caring is without hate and destruction?

i dont think so. It would all be neutral

Sure, God would have created love too. A good thing, but then there are all the terrible things.

Or the scenario of the man that loves a woman, but she does not love him back so he ends up killing himself.

Why would a God taunt and destroy a mans life like that?

free will. killing yourself is a sin

not wanting to love someone is up to you and only you.

we obviously have the free will to love or not love god, dont we?

Do you believe God has a set goal for all of us? That he has pre-determined our lives and destinies?

Yes or no?

edit: But God created all of us individually..why would he create a person knowing that they will just end up killing themselves?

I believe that the Christian god is just like the Greek gods; man made. Therefore, your point is based on a man made idea.

I believe he knows all. Knows what ill do, when ill do it, when ill die, how ill die.

all

So then..what the ****?

How could you love someone that specifically creates a human being only to have them suffer?

If God knows all then he knows that baby will end up dieing 3 days after it's born..that's its life, over in a painful death.

Or the priest that gets hit by a bus and is pinned between 2 guys as he burns to death.

Or the countless other tragic lives we see in this world.

How can you say God is a good thing after all of that?

edit: for all i know, these questions you're asking me may put my faith into question, my belief.

But i believe in god, and always will
