sounds like you may have been offended by someone else's belief system , no?
or burned by some religious zealous proselytizing , in the past?
dont tell me it was a mentally ill priest who likes little boys!?
so what is your burning question , Does GOD exist?
No not offended. The other persons seem offended that I question their childish beliefs. If you publicly are proselytizing then you are subject to scrutiny or ridicule.
I haven't been burned. I am a little annoyed that people seem to think faith is off limits from questions when I'm not the one who brings it up.
I didn't threaten anyone with hell or judgment....they did.
I didn't make any outrageous claims....they did.
I didn't post esoteric nonsense then act indignant when it gets pulled to the carpet....that's an occupation of the faithful, not the reasonable.
It's funny that you call priests who bang kids mentally ill. You don't see the connection to God in all of that. You don't think that kid must have been praying to that God to make it stop? And you don't hold God accountable for watching with it's arms folded as those same victims move on in silence, now mentally ill supposedly, and start the abuse cycle all over again?
Is God all powerful? Why doesn't he stop it?
Is God all knowing? Is God all good?
Why doesn't he stop it? For free will?
If you said God doesn't stop it in order not to violate humanitys free will, think about this.....
Was the free will of the victim violated? Why didn't God care if he's all good?
So God allows the victims free will to be violated so that a rapists free will is preserved.
Your beliefs are sick it this is constitutes morality to you.
God as it has been described to me, omnipotent, omniscient, omni-benevolent, does not evidently exist. Even worse this God evidently Does not exist.
Now if you want your beliefs to be off limits keep them to yourself or be willing to have discourse with intelligent and honest interlocutors.
