[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cold is the absence of heat. Darkness is the absence of light. Evil is the absence of good.

God gave His creatures freedom. When He created angels and humans, they had the capacity to freely choose to love God and all that is good. Instead, Lucifer and other angels abused their freedom and tried to take God’s place in order to lead the whole world astray.

Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they cooperated with Satan’s evil plan.

Instead of destroying all evil people, God set up a plan. God himself decided to enter history as a human being in Jesus Christ. He never did anything that was evil. But he lived a truly good life. Yet, as God, he decided to absorb all the world’s evil into Himself. He let evil crush him on the cross.

In Genesis 3, a serpent tempts the woman:
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
— Genesis 3:4–5, KJV

The serpent told Eve that eating the fruit from the tree would make her and Adam as gods. Adam and Eve didn’t want knowledge: they wanted to be gods.

Their physical condition changed as a result of their eating the forbidden fruit. As God had promised, they became mortal. Now Adam and Eve could get sick and die. They had to leave the garden of Eden. That’s where the physical illness and death that humans now experience originated. God’s plan was not for us to experience illness and death.

If you don’t believe in God, you don’t believe any of that happened. You must have an alternative theory to why people get sick and die, and why humans are not immortal and get diseases and can die from accidents and injuries. Something else makes humans mortal and age and die.

Humans age and die just like animals and plants because that’s the way nature is. If there’s a beginning (conception) then there’s bound to be an ending. Certainly you couldn’t have children if no one ever died cause it would get awfully crowded if not. This earth is beautiful but also imperfect. Sometimes those random imperfections, of which there are many, lead to new things, some of which are positive and some of which are negative. There is not some being out there who is directing it all. [/quote]

That’s your personal opinion, which is all well and good. Everyone in the US has a right to have their opinions about everything. However that doesn’t mean your opinion is valid for everyone else. Some people think like you, others do not. That’s why we have a great country; we have absolute freedom of thought and expression.

I think that God exists and I don’t think He chooses anyone to give a painful disease to.  I don’t think He looks down and sees a person crossing the road and wiggles His fingers and makes another person driving a car speed up against their will and smash into the pedestrian. I don’t think God has a list of people He gives cancer or AIDS, and I don’t think He decides who wins the lottery or gets a prize at the county fair.

Both our opinions are valid and reasonable and acceptable. Neither are wrong or right; they simply are what we choose to believe. I don’t care what other people believe nor do I want to make them believe as I do. I wish atheists would enjoy their freedom and stop trying to convince people that the way they think is “right.” Nobody should worry about what others think and we all should appreciate our freedom to think as we wish. It says a lot about a person when they decide they have to advertise their own opinions and pretend their opinions are special and correct. [/quote]

PP was giving their opinion in response to someone (you?) who said if you don’t believe in god you must have an alternative theory. So if you want atheists to stop giving their opinion don’t ask for it. [/quote]

Op asked for people who believe in God to answer. Per usual, atheists began posting (even though op didn’t ask for their opinion) and started taking the thread off topic. Thet started changing the subject to how they believe God doesn’t exist. Then they added that the God they do not believe exists gives babies cancer. Then they started telling people who do believe in God what they [color=red]must[/color] believe about God.

It turns out people who don’t believe in God sure do post about Him a lot. And they have the weirdest belief that they know how religious people think. Totally obsessed, very wrong. And people who don’t believe in God don’t believe in Him so hard THEY WILL START SHOUTING IN ALL CAPS ABOUT HOW THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN HIM, because they are so mad other people don’t think like THEY DO.
