“F” GOD

[_Chap]

Life is an opportunity that God gives us. There is no promise, unless you find and earn that promise. But mostly, we take our chances. That those chances turned sour for someone is just the breaks.

Yeah. You knew about the risks when you signed up for the deal in the pre-existence. And so on.

Please take your Mormon crap where it belongs. Which is not on this thread.

Yes, the voice of the left. "Shut up, go away."

Nope. Thinking that Mormon theodicy is a childish fantasy is a viewpoint that has nothing to do with political allegiance. And this stuff has no place on this thread in any case.

That the thread is labelled "“F” GOD" is a neon welcome sign for any theodicy that I might want to bring. I was going to let it go, not be a prick, but it beckoned to me. It pisses me off when people that don't believe in God intentionally attack God for the sake of hate and rage.

Hate and rage? Says the guy who believes God is a man up in the sky who has eternal sex with his many wives all the while pretending to give a flying crap about the millions of his suffering "children" which you probably believes he dearly loves.

The OP was reacting to the news that his wife had blood cancer. Sorry that your pet deity was disrespected in the process of his expressing his feelings of anguish.

In that context, your attempt to suggest that the poor woman had at some time in her supposed pre-existence known of and willingly accepted the risks she was running by choosing to be born (for that is the form your standard Mormon theodicy takes) was disgusting.

Hey! Have you thought of the fact that in YOUR pre-existence you must have signed up to the risk of having your feelings outraged by having people explain that your religious views are childish nonsense? Them's the breaks, as you put it. So suck it up.

...people that don't believe in God intentionally attack God for the sake of hate and rage.

the irony of that is usually lost on them, but they do enjoy talking about stuff for which they have no belief.

They’re talking about the abhorrent nature of your beliefs subs. Those exist.

That being said, those who hate God have come under the influence of Satan. If they knew the truth about God they would have no reason to hate him. But this requires faith and not everyone has it.

Neither God nor Satan exist. You can't hate something that doesn't exist.

For instance, no one could possibly hate your intellect.

As KG says:

You can't hate something that doesn't exist.

What annoys me are the damn stupid ideas that people create in order to deal with the obvious problems posed by imagining that the universe is run by a powerful, wise and just being. Mormon theodicy (just look the damn word up, Ajax) is just one of the most obviously laughable examples.

You don't realize it, but I have an entire vocabulary that I could beat you down with, words, phrases, and concepts that are thousands of years old. They ancient people are the ones that worked with the "damn stupid ideas" that are the foundation everything you know and see.

Granted, I get that you think you are smarter then all the humans that have come before you. But to me, your mind is limited and restricted to a 3 dimensional thinking. You cannot even master 4th dimensional thinking, let along 5th, or 6th, or God forbid 11th.

But on the 4th dimensional plane, you are just one person in a long events. You know nothing that wasn't taught to you by people that came before. But all you have to offer those that come after you is pride and ego of thinking you are smarter then those that came before. . . . and that is what you will teach those that come after. You will be their idiot.
