That opens up a can of worms. Namely, if we didn't sin, could a perfect world actually be possible? No, and they know it. There cannot be a perfect world, which is why heaven makes no sense. So right from the start this explanation is bullshit.

theologia...Just to continue your train of thought:<br /><br />theologians assert that god knows the future and therefore is able to act on a higher understanding of what is best for us...the problem is god is obviously not consistent. He kills, lies and does illogical things for our own benefit but only sometimes?<br /><br />IF this were true it would be fair to ask then what about Hitler? the black Plague?<br />histories biggest criminals could have been snuffed out long before they did they nasty deeds that caused massive human suffering. It's a conundrum that backs 'em into a corner where they ultimately say that god allows suffering in hopes that the suffering will cause people to believe in him or trust in him. OR, that the eternal perspective makes all suffering a mute point.<br /><br />the problem with that is - is that the only way god can get people to follow him?<br /><br />My arrogant side wants to say: If I were god, I would do something REALLY good<br />I mean really really good like say wiping out all cancer and disease.<br /><br />if it was morally sufficient to send his people on genocide missions and orchestrate violent natural disasters then his morals are "anything goes" I guess.<br /><br />What we observe in reality is that god does not appear to interact with humanity at all which is more consistent with the "not exists" conclusion. The percentage of believers who die or suffer is the same as unbelievers. The divorce rate among <br />Christians is the same as non christian.<br /><br />So the question appears to be flawed in that we have no real evidence that a god has done anything in the first place for us to question but I understand where you are coming from in terms of debunking god according to his own bible.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00854081474240984250noreply@blogger.com
