[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why doesn't god just eliminate poverty?

There are only 3 possible reasons:

1) He can't (then he's not much of a god then, is he)
2) He won't (then he is certainly unworthy of worship, regardless of the "reason" or "purpose" he might have
3) He does not exist.

Which of the 3 is most likely, based on evidence?

(apologies to Epicurus)[/quote]
False choices is bad logic. You can set up anything that way if you want to. You left out: 4) He will, but not yet. Not until all sinners have been given a chance to repent and He brings an end to the current world. [b]It's all in the Bible. Just because God doesn't work on your timeline doesn't mean he's not loving, omnipotent or even extant[/b].[/quote]

Hence why the discussion with atheists and those that are "spiritual but not religious" is useless. They have no basic knowledge of the Bible and get angry at what they heard second hand (without reading and understanding the Bible for themselves). Someone posted in the pets forum about getting a pomerian. Will I comment to add my two cents? No. Do I want to  know something about pomeranians? Yes. How ill I do that? I will google all that there is about pomerians, borrow books from the library, and go hang out with owners of pomerians to see how it's to own a pomerian on day to day basis. Otherwise I will keep my mouth shut and not make a fool of myself.[/quote]
