whiteowl Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Which God do we follow? There's just so many, it's like being in a really good butchers. You see all the God's have different pro's and con's. The God's of Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Hinduism, Rome and the Celts are all very appealing. Surely Thor is the coolest though ? Have you seen his latest film ?

ANGELFIRE1 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Sad to say I doubt very much there is a God sat in the clouds waiting for us to **** our clogs and go and visit him. If there is some kind of God, he/she has allowed this planet of ours to go to the dogs over the years, world wars, nuclear weapons - the list is endless.

Anna B Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 How could we progress as individuals without free will? We make the decision to do right or wrong, to follow God or the opposition. That's how we learn and progress. I agree, but you must admit we've made some very dodgy decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutts Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 In reality, God does exist, I mean for real, there are a few Gods and they are ever present on every high street in the country and if you worship them correctly they always answer your prayers. They go by the names of, HSBC Barclays Nat West etc etc God doesn't come more real than at these places of worship. That is the reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryedo40 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 How could we progress as individuals without free will? We make the decision to do right or wrong, to follow God or the opposition. That's how we learn and progress. Freewill? It's not a child's freewill to be killed in a disaster or slaughtered in a war. And neither is it a child's freewill to die a painful death weeks or months after being born. What chance do they have to progress? Also, if God is omniscient as claimed, what you end up with is a God that knows every possible outcome of your life even before you are born. It knows who will worship or not worship, who will be tortured to death or suffer months or years of agony. And no matter how painful or short lived, that callous God looks on without lifting a finger to prevent it. That's not a God worthy of worship. To an omniscient God, we also wouldn't have freewill. How could we? It would know everything about you in every possible situation - even before you do. Freewill to such a God would not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 If people told you, no one would believe them. Many didn't believe Jesus, despite all his miracles, even though some had actually witnessed the raising of Lazarus. Jesus didn't perform miracles. You're confusing reality with a story book.

mimic Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 God will show himself in an aubergine somewhere in Greece, or maybe Albania. Because being Omnipotent he obviously just can't appear in the sky can he? :hihi: Nice to have a laugh first thing in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
