#god is evil

[heretic1103]

Oh no, what if Michael destroying everything WAS the Great Plan? Heaven was never meant to last forever, but the angels needed to think they were part of something important. God knew she'd eventually get tired of her little experiment, so she was always just going to let Michael smash the ant farm in the end.

No no no you don’t understand, You need to justify god to me in a way that drowns out the sounds of screaming children and falling bombs

Hope only leads to disappointment. Its clear to me now the worst possible out come of any situation is the one thats destined to come true. If there is a god or some other spirtual force in the universe it is NOT benevolent.

Nine million children die every year before they reach the age of five. Picture an Asian tsunami of the sort we saw in 2004 that killed a quarter of a million people—one of those every 10 days, killing children only under five: that’s twenty-four thousand children a day, a thousand an hour, seventeen or so a minute. That means before I get to the end of this sentence, some few children very likely will have died in terror and agony.

Think of the parents of these children. Think of the fact that most of these men and women believe in God and are praying at this moment for their children to be spared, and their prayers will not be answered. But according to Dr. Craig, this is all part of god’s plan.

Any god who would allow children by the millions to suffer and die in this way and their parents to grieve in this way, either can do nothing to help them or doesn’t care to. He is therefore either impotent or evil. And worse than that, on Dr. Craig’s view, most of these people, many of these people certainly, will be going to hell because they’re praying to the wrong god. Just think about that: through no fault of their own, they were born into the wrong culture, where they got the wrong theology, and they missed the revelation. There are 1.2 billion people in India at this moment; most of them are Hindus, most of them therefore polytheists. In Dr. Craig’s universe, no matter how good these people are, they are doomed. If you are praying to the monkey God Hanuman, you are doomed—you’ll be tortured in hell for eternity. Now is there the slightest evidence for this? No. It just says so in Mark 9 and Matthew 13 and Revelation 14.

So God created the cultural isolation of the Hindus; he engineered the circumstance of their deaths in ignorance of revelation, and then he created the penalty for this ignorance, which is an eternity of conscious torment in fire.

And please notice the double standard that people like Dr. Craig use to exonerate god from all this evil. We’re told that God is loving and kind and just and intrinsically good. But when someone like myself points out the rather obvious and compelling evidence that God is cruel and unjust, because he visits suffering on innocent people of a scope and scale that would embarrass the most ambitious psychopath, we are told that god is mysterious. Who can understand god’s will? Yet this merely human understanding of God’s will is precisely what believers use to establish his goodness in the first place.

If something good happens to a Christian—he feels some bliss while praying, or he sees some positive change his life—we’re told that God is good. But when children by the tens of thousands are torn from their parents’ arms and drowned, we are told god is mysterious.

Your god can be either good or mysterious. Trying to claim both at the same time is to define your god as nonexistent.

Religion: A False Hope

When you love somebody because of your god, that is a good thing.

When you hate or hurt somebody because of your god, that is a horrible thing.

Religion teaches the hateful ideology that followers are ordered by their god to hate, hurt, and even kill others.

The Bible, which contains both Judaism and Christianity, embraces a god who chose one people (racism) over all others, then ordered the murder of those perceived enemies, using genocide to wipe out those he hates.

That's not love; that is hate. It is evil, and it should be banned.
