[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why are people so cruel to each other?[/b] [/quote]

Because whoever or whatever created us did a really botched job of it.

That's why I can't believe in "intelligent design."  No intelligent designer would have created humans with such obvious defects. [/quote]

If you read the creation account you would understand why we are born with “defects”, i.e. a sin nature. [/quote]

So God did this to us, his children whom he loves, on purpose?  He wants us to live forever with him in heaven, but if we screw up, thanks to the defects we were born with, then he sends us to burn forever in hell.

This kind of love I do not need.[/quote]

No, he wants us to trust in Him so that we will be saved, even if we continue to sin and screw up. He wants us to accept His payment for our “screw-ups”, he doesn’t want us to never make mistakes because that is impossible.[/quote]

Not a very Nice god -- he made it impossible not to screw up and invented a firey pit to send people to for eternity if they screwed up.[/quote]

What is your basis for saying Hell is a "fiery pit?"  Hell may not be such a thing at all.  Hell may simply be an absence of the God you neither like nor respect.

And it's completely possible not to screw up- after all, Jesus lived as a poor human in a very cruel time and place, and he did not sin.[/quote]
