is God evil?

flypaper · 10-30-2007, 11:41 AM

if God is everything, wouldn't he be just as evil as he is supposedly good?

another question- If God is perfect then what need does he have for us? wouldn't he be perfectly content in just being perfectly perfect?

just something to ponder.

I have a theory that, if God exists, He was bored and decided to create something then torture and screw with it.

And that He really is the devil, but He pretends the devil is a separate, evil spirit just for kicks.

Wow, Rorei, you and I share similar beliefs.

Evil is a very vague and mutating term, to understand it better, listen to the speech of on American president. The people who created god are the same as those who created evil, so evil would always be relative to god for that god is never evil, whatever harm he does. If god is a sadistic maniac, he can't be evil for them because sadism and torture will stop being evil if it is done by god. I hope you get what I mean, I'll clarify with examples if not.

You just won yourself a first class ticket to hell. God is really egoistic, he doesn't like others to reveal his perverted little secret.

Baptists tell me I'm going to heaven no matter what, so I'll just continue theorizing.

Actually, yeah that makes a lot of sense.

Make sure you edit/delete the posts. If god comes across TH looking for 'praises', he isn't going to be too happy with you. He'll say "Its been a mistake Rorei is here, throw him to hell'. God likes torture, bloodshed and violence, all for his 'cause'.

Theorizing or Hell... Theorizing or Hell...

...

This is a predicament.

*GASP* Maybe dilemmas are another one of God's torture techniques. =o

I wouldn't mess with God

Quote:

Pickthal 22:19-22 - " But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them; boiling fluid will be poured down on their heads, Whereby that which is in their bellies, and their skins too, will be melted; And for them are hooked rods of iron. Whenever, in their anguish, they would go forth from thence they are driven back therein and (it is said unto them): Taste the doom of burning.]

JK

I've been saying it for years that the illogical god is a blood thirsty demon.

Still no lightning bolt has come my way...

Lol check this out although the following YouTube clip is a humorous skit which satirizes the "worship-me-or-die" mindset within evangelical Christianity, I feel that this parody could be equally applicable for Islam; being that both Islam and Christianity are proselytizing religions (with the gods of both religions being essentially bullys). The title of the video is "Kissing Hank's @ss" Enjoy!

Because god loves slavery:

Quote:

Deuteronomy 20:10-15 – When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies. This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.

Because god is sexist.

Because god demands murder:

Quote:

Exodus 35:2 – " For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death."

Quote:

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 – "If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard." Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid."
