[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure it's a tough journey, OP, but you'll come through it more peaceful and less fearful. I see life so much more clearly and it is so much more beautiful than I could've imagined when I believed in god. And as horrifying as life on earth can be,  [b]it feels better not to believe atrocities are god's will. That would be terrifying[/b].[/quote]

Who believes that? That is certainly not Christian teaching.[/quote]
Hm, okay maybe god doesn't [i]will[/i] terrible things, but the fact t[b]hat there's some benevolent, omnipotent power out there that [i]allows[/i] them to happen makes god actually quite horrible in my mind. [/b]

The whole argument sounds ridiculous to me anyway, as does the concept of god as humans basically understand it. The atheists in my life are better people than the christians I know.[/quote]

THere's a line of thought that says God weeps when bad things happen -- which, to me is a cop out for someone who is supposed to be omnipotent and answers prayers and  has set up a whole eternal heavenly kingdom for his creation.  People give him credit for answering prayers but let him get by with weeping when the prayers aren't answered?  or say it was his will and we'll understand later?  (i.e. after we're dead -- very convenient).  It's People making excuse for god.[/quote]
