Ok, Ill Take Theland Up On His Offer Then

//Please just give me ONE question to answer//
//. https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Society-and-Culture/Religion-and-Spirituality/Question1628248-6.html//


Why would I want to 'befriend' a God that admits that it creates evil?
Isaiah 45:7...
//I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things//

[Theland]

Oh a nit pickers fest!
What is this? A popcorn moment? The Colisseum?
Yes when difficult passages come along, I want to understand them. I look up stuff on the Internet to find an answer I can be satisfied with.
The answer satisfies me, if not you. That is my opinion.
In a nutshell, the absence of God is evil.
That is how He can say, "I created evil."
Now if you don't accept my answer, do what comes naturally, ridicule and mock.
Your problem, not mine.

[kvalidir]

I don't ridicule or mock people very often Theland as you know, I just wanted your opinion rather than something you'd read and copied from the net.

[sanmac]

Theland, you are surely well described by the old Timex commercials: You take a licking and keep on ticking. Now don't get too wound up...Cheers.

[Theland]

Kvaldir - My opinions like the opinions of many others on all different types of question, are formed by my experiences and material I have read.
I have given my opinion, but the petty mockers want something else, something I have dredged up from my own mind. How ridiculous!
Do juries not listen to evidence?
That is all I have done.
Some reject that and donning their superiority complex, proceed to mock.
Their problem not mine.
If it makes them back slapping popular, good,luck to them.

[Mamyalynne]

I don't mock or deride either, you feel you have answered Nailit's question.

That's between the two of you.

[Theland]

Christians have a history of persecution, unless they conform to some acceptable apostate belief system.
I am blessed to only be mocked.
In fact it is an honour.

[Theland]

Thank you Mamya - That is gracious of you.

[jim360]

I don't mock people either -- isn't that right mamsy-wamsy? Yes it's right don't you know it you widdle cutsey-poo :)

[Mamyalynne]

Not gracious as such, just honest - to be fair some questions are almost unanswerable - especially if the asker is coming from an already opposite point of view.

I wouldn't be bold enough to think I could reply.

[Mamyalynne]

You OK Jim?

[jim360]

Yeah I'm fine, why'd you ask? :P

[Jackdaw33]

//I wouldn't be bold enough to think I could reply.\\

Never stopped you before; you usually have an answer for everything.

[Mamyalynne]

I can see where this is going, I'll leave your thread now Nailit.

[Theland]

I'm leaving too. Let the mockers have a love fest.

I'm off to start a war somewhere else!

[douglas9401]

Visitors are reminded not to rattle the cages.

Thank you.

[vulcan42]

Theland, just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right.

[Theland]

Just had to pop back in to answer Vulcan.
I am not offended.
I am amused at the futility of the efforts made by atheists to attack the God they don't believe in anyway!
How ridiculous.
I don't claim to be right.
I was asked a question and answered to the best of my ability, using a source of information that anybody could have accessed to satisfy their curiosity.
But of course, the idea is to make a big show of asking the question as publicly as possible and attack the answers.

[Theland]

That's it. I really am out of this thread now.

[1ozzy]

Are you sure?

[Theland]

Theland has left the building.
