Curious Christian
128 Answers
I am a devout Christian. I believe the Bible is the infallible, inerrant Word of God. I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I don't think I have ever met a true athiest. I am curious as to how you think, what do you believe will happen when you die? Where do you think the beauty that bestows us each and every day with the sunrise to the sunset came from?

How do you work that one out?
OK, even if we give you the benefit of the doubt and say (just for argument's sake) the 2004 Tsunami was caused, fundamentally, by our nuclear tests, that doesn't explain disasters such as Krakatoa in 1883, the destruction of Pompeii in AD79, or the San Francisco earthquake in 1906. To deny that natural disasters are created by anything other than nature (aka by the faithful as God), is an excuse and it's a cop out. There is a good deal of ugliness in this world that is not man-made, but it seems that fact is too difficult for believers to admit and to accept.

The ultimate denial - your religion states that god is everywhere and that gon knows all, therefore he know when man gets it wrong, he has to because he will judge you in heaven.
So why do the innocents die? Even more so why do the faithfull die or suffer?
The church has failed because its man made??? so everything the faithfull do is wrong because its man made if so then gods hand is not in anything is it because man is made by god.
Your book, which is man made but is the "word of god" is the answer, but any thing wrong is man made with no interference from god?

Why do you make the amount of time others spend here your business, Keyplus? It's nothing to do with you, but it seems to bother you constantly. Perhaps its because you'd like anyone who disagrees with you and out-argues you to disappear from AB altogether. Never mind. We can't always have what we want.
