Mr.TaterSalad Posted March 23 Posted March 23 (edited) One thing I've never understood about God is this. If this God is supposed to be all knowing, all powerful, and has the ability to do anything they want, but simply chooses not to, isn't that legally speaking a form of neglect? If we are God's children, isn't he neglecting us? If I'm a parent of a newborn child I hold power over whether or not that child lives because it cannot provide for itself. I hold the power to feed that child, give it drink, bathe it, shelter it in warmth, provide it basic medical care, and on. If I purposefully choose not to do one or more of those things and something physically harmful happens to my child I'm legally negligent for not doing what I was powerful and otherwise capable of doing. I had the power to ensure my child's needs to survive were being met, I neglected them by my own choice, and thus I face legal punishment from the law. But with God, apparently it's not neglect. Even though they are all knowing and all powerful, people don't care that they abscond from their duties. They know someone may starve to death and die, but don't do anything. We are told by Christians, Muslims, and Jews, those of the Abrahamic faiths, that we are God's children. Why aren't people outraged at the neglect God shows us? If the average religious person found out their neighbor was purposefully starving their newborn baby they would be outraged. But when God does it to his own children, somehow that's justified.

Dan Gilmore Posted March 23 Posted March 23 I think the Magats just prefer the other pointy hat group, the ones that include a mask over the face. Although it seems the mask is no longer needed to hide behind. Quote

Yeah - Francis has been pretty quiet - probably because he's one foot in the grave at this point. Who knows if a new Pope would see making trouble for Trump as a way to prove his bona fides or not?

Because since God is all perfect and all knowing and all wise, there is a reason he does things even if we don;t understand, so we have to trust in Him and everything will turn out according to the Divine Plan. I'm sorry, did I say "God"? I meant Trump. Quote
