"GOD" gave humans free will, and stood back. He is letting us make out choices and letting us try to find our way. Yes there is bad things in the world like cancer, war etc... but we have brought these things upon ourselves. Wars are faught because of religion, money, greediness. Diseases are brought on by a lot of things, smoking, pollution etc. There are things that we cannot explain and thats where the belief comes into it. I am not a firm believer in "GOD" per say but I do believe in a lot of ideas from a lof of religions. This is one debate that will never end and will keep people at odds, because of the free will that we have been graced with Amen |

this is a very difficult thing to argue, because both sides believe that they are right. notice I said both 'believe', either side can be wrong, (likely everyone is) but we'll never know.
anyway if anyone is discussing trying to 'convert' or make someone see your point of view dont bother, you'll end up fighting, it's "fate" with things like these. lol.

Also you said yourself that religion is a contributing factor to war so in a way the existence of God actually contributes to evil. Just saying that not all bad things in this world are brought on by ourselves. |

It is cool to see everyone's opinion and it is great to see that no one is arguing too.

Just saying that not all bad things in this world are brought on by ourselves. It is a sin that innocent victems are killed everyday, what I meant to say by us bringing this upon ourselves is as a whole society. Americas so called "war on terrorism" has killed so many innocent people but they call it a must to end terrorsim, which it wont because those so called religious terriorst groups will continue to fight for thier cause. So thats what I meant by humans bringing this on ourselves. |

Since Pittsburgh brought up the "war on terror"...it reminded me of how much I dislike "hardcore" religious nuts.
What is everyone's opinion on Bush saying the "god told him to go into Iraq"...Is that any different than the Texas lady that killed her kids and said that "god" told her to di it?

Why are you so sensitive towards this Jersey? It's a joke dude I guess it is because my family is full of very religious people. They use "god" as a reason for everything and it just got to me one day. Sorry for being so serious about it lol |
