Re: The Problem of Evil
I just want to ask this, since there are religious people posting.
And I've never got a straight answer to this - and I don't mean it sarcastically, or trying to cut down religion- and I just want to read/hear someone's standpoint who religiously believes in the western culture's version of God.
So, if we're all created in God's image, why are there Black people, Asian people and Hispanics? If God is relatively white, and we're in his image, why are there other people? And hell, if God's something else, why are we white?
And why does God allow other religions to exist? And if he allows them to exist, why does he care what we believe in, and tell us we'll go to hell if we use our own free will? If we have the free will to believe in whatever we want, why does he want to put limitations on our free will, and say "Well, you can do what you want, but as long as what you want is within what I say."
The one fault I have with religious people, is that whenever they encounter something they can't respond to, they say "The Bible says so" or something to that matter.
Remember when the world was flat, and earth was the centre of the Universe?
Anyways.
This reminds me of a joke, I'll post.
"Catholicism views homosexuality as a crime. It's bad. It's unnatural. You know what's unnatural to me? Zombies. And I seem to recall a certain easter Zombie somewhere. You get on your knees, drink the blood, and eat the body of Christ? Just so he has enough time to sneak up behind you and eat your brain? But not the whole thing. Just the part that controls independent thought."
