Loismustdie 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 If porn is bad, why does God allow it?I always imagined heaven as something like a pornographic film. Because God isn't interested in taking temptation away. He is, however, interested in the type of person that can refuse it. Taking away sin, or the idea of it proves no mettle. It only breeds living meatsticks.If porn is bad, why does God allow it?I always imagined heaven as something like a pornographic film. I have a buddy named Brandon who you sound eerily like.

mcsoupman 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 If porn is bad, why does God allow it?I always imagined heaven as something like a pornographic film.God allows sin because we have a free will. It pains him that we make evil choices. I don't follow the good vs bad thought. Bad is just bad because we are evil people who make wrong choices. We don't need bad to justify more good.If Eve hadn't screwed things up, it might be closer to your imagination right now. Link to post Share on other sites
crowTrobot 2 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Should we be happy that millions are starving, because it provides contrast to our luxury? Should we be happy that billions are going to hell, because it provides contrast to heaven?god is happy with it, so apparently christians should be. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 What is it that makes most people on Earth stupid enough to join fake religions that lie to them and worship gods that don't exist?Satan. He is clever and wants people to turn away from God. His time of free reign will be coming to an end shortly though. And then every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.I'm sure someone has already answered this the same way, but I don't feel like reading another one of sluggo's crappy threads.

Sluggo 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Some Jehovah's witnesses stopped by and we chatted for an hour. They said the Earth is old, but created. They said dinosaurs existed but evolution is a lie. They said Jesus was coming back and billions are suffering. Link to post Share on other sites

When the **** is Jesus gonna get back and fix all this crap? Oh, wait, Jesus lives in all of us, so he's already here, yet the suffering continues. WHY!?!?POURQUOI!?!? Mais, pourquoi???

Sluggo 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 I asked them if they wanted to bet on Jesus coming in the next couple of years, and they said no, gambling is wrong. Then I said the stock market is gambling, and they agreed. So essentially owning stuff is wrong according to them. Link to post Share on other sites

They said dinosaurs existed but evolution is a lie. They said Jesus was coming back and billions are suffering. The material the earth is made of is old, that's for sure. I question dinosaurs on principal because, well, whereas math has remained consistent, and english and other school subjects, Science books changed approximately 19 times from Grade K to 12. Jesus is coming back, although not quite how they paint it.They were right about the "billions suffering" part. When the **** is Jesus gonna get back and fix all this crap? Oh, wait, Jesus lives in all of us, so he's already here, yet the suffering continues. WHY!?!?POURQUOI!?!? Mais, pourquoi??? When Jesus does come back it is to end all time- suffering continues because last I checked the people in power were just that- people. Oddly enough, people given power seem to often be not very moraly driven people. Oddly enough, we seem to vote on based on the bullshit rather than the truth. This seems to be the case with religion as well- insted of choosing truth we choose whatever sounds best/easiest. Make no mistake, he is not coming back to fix, but for a reckoning.

dscoot 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 my suggestion to any non believer is to read the entire bible, from the start, at some point after you become an adult and feel mature enough to handle this. please dont go through life not believing in god yet never even reading the f*cking book! I asked them if they wanted to bet on Jesus coming in the next couple of years, and they said no, gambling is wrong. Then I said the stock market is gambling, and they agreed. So essentially owning stuff is wrong according to them.i currently am reading the bible and there is a paragraph after they get there land, they have to decide which tribes get what land, and they use the holy dice to let god decide the fate of the lands.

For most people it's just that...a f*cking book. You'll never convince someone that god exists by pointing to the bible...do you see why?Make no mistake, he is not coming back to fix, but for a reckoning.I feel like this was the hook for a recent action movie...I just can't remember which one.

I have read it and God is a homicidal maniac. If you replaced the old testament God with a random person, that person would be considered one of the most evil people that has ever lived. And that's not even counting the flood story where he wipes out humanity.Im sure you will try to explain this away, but the bottom line is that God is held to no moral or logical standards, yet we are of course supposed to be held to strict ones. So is all christian morality just an arbitrary game, to be completely ignored once we move on to the next life? If it is, then it seems the atheists have a far more solid ethical footing than the christians do.http://www.slate.com/id/2146473/entry/2148272/ Link to post Share on other sites
