God works in Mysterious Ways.

[the_bob_delusion]

God causing mass genocide. God watches rape, murders and doesn't do anything to stop it. 

It's because God works in mysterious ways. 

We have a finite brain and couldn't possibly comprehend God's action. 

Get it now.

What about when God committs genocide and kills everyone and every animal on earth except Noah's family???

But none the less supposely it's humans doing the killing and raping. If you knew someone was killing and raping but do nothing, aren't you guilty of something?

1) God was a very naughty deity and was sent to bed without his supper.

2) Yes.

Actually it isn't related to anything here, but was listening to a debate and the Christian's defense on the evil in the world was God works in mysterious ways. Since we have limited knowledge we shouldn't question God's plan when he allows rape and murder.

I found that answer rather unsatisfying. Imagine a bloke is on trial for murder and the judge asked why he did it and he answered he works in mysterious ways.

 Bob, if there was no rape, murder, robberies, death, and the rest..... it wouldn't be Earth..... it would be heaven.....

The problem is that man has created God in his own image and likeness.

God has no 'plan' and no emotions either of love, anger, compassion or retribution.

God does not watch over us.

God does not - cannot -  know, care or control what we do.

God is not a person,(let alone a male person) or even a sentient  being

God is simply the the name we give to the catalyst that kicked off evolution.

I don't often read the CS boards but i think that this is possibly the most logical thing ever written here.

Religion was created by people that couldn't write & further on,by people that wrote science fiction books.

Religion defies logic &facts.

Any questions that cannot be answered sensibly,the answer is always some nonsense about having faith or that God acts in mysterious ways.

Religion makes people behave in ridiculous ways,creates wars & hatred.

The bible was written hunrdeds of years after the alleged facts,from handed down stories from illiterate folk who thought the simplest things were miracles or omens.Yet people still adhere to this in fear of a vengeful God & an eternity in Hell with fire & brimstone.

Be responsible for yourself but occasionally you will be in the wrong place at the wrong time & bad things may happen to you.

If there is a God,why would he be wasting time counting the hairs on your head & demanding to be worshipped?
