Hello lailans,
Today, I want to make common sense by asking questions we all want to ask but lack the balls to do so because of the fears instilled in us all from birth. According to Christians, god "intelligently" designed this earth.
Anyway, 7.8 magnitude earthquake has hit Ecuador on Monday, killing 300 and injuring 3000 people.
Just hours after the Ecuador disaster, another 6.1 magnitude earthquake occurred in Japan killing 50 people and injuring 300 others.
Japan has witnessed about 60 earthquakes with different magnitudes in the past 7 days.
.
What sort of intelligent designer is this!
If an engineer designed a structure with a very low safety factor, he is considered an incompetent, not intelligent engineer .
No any intelligent designer is responsible for this world. So it means this its God's plan, well thats the Christians' logic. It's god's plan to collapse building on some people's head and he loves them unconditionally. How dare you? A religious christian friend fumed.
Religion is the excuse to ignore the suffering of others. This kind of insensitive ,arrogant and self centered piffle demeans us .
God is omni potent and omnipresent meaning that he knew Satan will spoil his work, still he goes on to create him? He knows Judas will betray Jesus, still he creates him and he is going to send him to hell!!! This he knows even before he creates him!!!
A religious friend once cautioned me thus
Isaiah 45:7
Please read your bible well.
If you don't know the answer, please research. If you can't research don't make it up, just shut up!

"earthquakes are a way of God punishing us for our sins"Another added
"Its only Jehova that sees in secret that knows why. it may be a physical evidence of god having a massive punch up with Satan, his sparring partner. Who am I, A mere mortal to question God"This argument suggest that they are just as deranged as their imaginary entity. its only stone age men who lived by fate without asking questions.
Religion is the excuse to ignore the suffering of others. This kind of insensitive ,arrogant and self centered piffle demeans us .
And the next you will hear, "let's pray for Japan" or "I thank god there's no earthquake here". Bunch of selfish people.
There is enough death and destruction in the natural world to show conclusively that no one is immune. And deep down we know this, but the very idea is so terrifying that some need to wrap themselves in an illusory cocoon of comfort, woven with a web of lie. The truth is We hide our fear of death in the illusion that there's heaven.God is omni potent and omnipresent meaning that he knew Satan will spoil his work, still he goes on to create him? He knows Judas will betray Jesus, still he creates him and he is going to send him to hell!!! This he knows even before he creates him!!!
A religious friend once cautioned me thus
"Stop it! don't be ignorant!! it isnt God's fault that these earthquakes happened. The Devil works in mysterious ways too. Its Satan who killed those people with the loopholes he found in God's perfect creation. Stop saying what you don't know. You God-hater!"Ha! And the devil, a creation of your god, is too big to be tamed? Like you don't read your bible well, a problem well known known with you Christians.
Isaiah 45:7
"I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things."What type of Good Godkills his children with such impunity?
Please read your bible well.
