The Bible is God’s word. You can read it and maybe find clarity.[/quote]

I've read it.  Lots.  No clarity.  Just the opposite.  Makes no sense to me at all.

If you think the existence of evil negates the existence of God, perhaps you need to study the topic a little more.[/quote]

That's not any kind of answer.  In fact it is 100% evasive.

I've studied it plenty, and the existence of evil does in fact negate the existence of god.  Let's say you are made god today.  What's the first thing you do?

I bet you do [i]something[/i].

I know I would.  The hard part would be deciding where to start. Pediatric Cancer?  Gone.  School shootings?  Gone.  All suffering - gone.  I wouldn't need man to prove anything, because I frickin' created him just the way he is and I know exactly what he will choose because I am omniscient.

Ok, when you can do any of those things, holler. Maybe the creator who did and can do all those things has a deeper purpose behind it all? I believe He does. I think humans get frustrated when they don’t KNOW everything. Being a Christian isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about trusting Gods word and plan. It’s faith.

There are some awesome study Bibles that do have explanations and word origins and can illuminate confusing or nonsensical parts of the Bible. It’s an ancient text and it takes a lot to understand and process.[/quote]

With enough faith you can accept just about anything, no matter how crazy or unlikely it seems. faith is required to understand gods ways. Logic will get you nowhere. [/quote]
