huh. I guess i just assumed you believed in all the Christian teachings, which are mainly what I have problems with. I guess that makes sense. Honestly I'm not even sure if I don't believe in a God at all or if I just don't believe in the Catholic one... my issues with the Catholic Church are probably what drove me to calling myself atheist. Idk, maybe there is a God. Hopefully he won't punish me for not finding the right one. But most popular religions just don't make sense to me.

Sorry if I'm ranting, but I really do enjoy discussing religion and would love to hear your view. I'm a former catholic myself and only recently started becoming atheist.

I don't see why there can't be good without evil. Heaven is supposed to be perfectly good... and there isn't evil there. So that point is invalid. Also, yeah, he let's us "choose" whether or not to be with him... but the only other option is literally never ending agony. Case #1 of God being manipulative. No sane person would choose to not be with God in heaven if they knew he existed and the only alternative is hell. But god makes it extremely hard to believe in him, and if you come to what you think is the logical conclusion of him not existing, you deserve endless toture? Why would god, an all powerful being, communicate with us through the same shitty method that other known false religions used. A method that would be corrupted by imperfect humans. And then blame us for not believing it...

If God knowingly created evil
Then that's not a benevolent, kind God like christains portray him. In fact the christain God seems to be a manipulative pyschopathic killer.

But why did that evil have to exist in the first place? It wouldn't even be an option if God didn't create it. And I'm not very well versed with the beliefs on the devil (assuming were talking about Christianity here) so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming it's something along the lines of "sin is the Devil's fault." But if God knows everything's that's ever going to happen, and he set everything into motion, then he knowingly indirectly created evil.

...as does my point. I was saying that He doesn't protect us all as @snowpanther said. What makes one person than another? And why doesn't He stop every bad thing? I don't understand why an all powerful being has to allow murder and rape to exist.

He literally said he protects "all of us." Which isn't true, but for an all powerful being in don't see why he can't. The whole "god has a plan" and "he works in mysterious ways" thing is bullshit, because an all knowing being should be able to easily make things work out the way he wants without anyone getting "harmed" (I say it like that because the word is subjective...) if he do chooses. Also the free will thing is bullshit. He couldnt help those people because that would contradict the free will of other people to kill people? I'm sure those innocent people didn't die of their free will.

Except the people that died? You do realize over a thousand people died, and you're ignoring that and saying "god protects all of us" because of the few that survived? Typical religious logic

Ye i go to a private school as well, in kansas. The smaller student body really does help in the classroom because the teach we can actually help out people individually

Yeah my school has 4 longer classes a day, alternating between whatever 4 classes on "a days" and whatever 4 classes on "b days." Gives you an extra day to do homework, more time with teacher help, and you can save Thursday and Friday homework for the weekend. Best system ever

>calls them a "dumb ass"
>incorrect usage of "you're"
:P

^^^^^^
This guy gets it. Thats pretty much what every one of these guys in these "inspiring" (and often fake) youtube videos does.

It's just unoriginal and uncreative.

the whole premise of "superman," a super man, is retarded

40 years later, the pokemon franchise is dead. Nobody really knows about it, or are too old to care. It so irrelevant that they give no more fucks and release the full anatomy of diglet as a a massive dick.

ughhhhhhhhh
i give up you win ill stop letting u milk these upvotes lol
that just brought up an interesting line of thinking for me though though. If he was completely insane, was he really at fault? If someone doesn't think what they're doing is wrong, are they really at fault? If a kid that was raised since birth on radical islam ISIS-like morals kills 20 people, but literally doesn't know any better and think they're "doing the right thing," are they truly at fault?

Bruh y u gotta play devils advocate and dra this out jesus. I guess I'll repbrass that, don't joke about the death of innocents. Its okay to joke about the deaths of mass murderers

No... joking about steryotypes is different than making light of the death of many. You shouldn't joke about people dying.

Ok boss
