I don't think that there is 'No God' per se! I expect, any God that created this world to be an amazing person and NOT what many paint him/her to be!
But I do believe that the God of the Bible, that self centered, heartless creation of a lost nation does not exist!
God or god's to some were inventions of human imagination, derived from human ignorance and fear,
The ideology is still used today by men to empower themselves.......the WTS. is a good example of this
Has the clay authority over the potter?Do you presume to judge God. No wonder the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
The "clay" is judging YOUR god. 1JN 4:18 There is no fear in love.
From the word of his almighty Flying Speghetti Monster
The Gospel of John the Pastafarian
1. Hark, as I speak the words of which I proclaim to be truth,
2. That blessed be me whom His holy visage did come upon me,
3. And spoke unto to me as I ate of His body in holy worship;
4. “Yea shall be the tenets that I shall proclaim.” In a voice of no voice he spoke.
5. In the purest of words, he said unto me:
6. “Eat not of the Semolina, in it’s unfinished state,
7. For only when added with water, can it be considered complete.
8. For in life, as in pasta, there is need for balance and companionship.
9. And every ingredient has its own specific role.
10. And when choosing your sauce, choose of your heart,
11. For even in the simplest of forms, the sauce only compliments.
12. Whether it be meat, or cheese, or oil of the olive,
13. All such are equal, and equal they shall remain.
14. Spare you the meat balls, to only but a few,” and to this I beseeched:
15. “Truely, your Noodliness, I am but a humble servant, though I must confess
16. I cannot restrict myself this pleasure, for I do admit
17. I am in love with my meat, and I am in love with my balls.”
18. And the Flying Spaghetti Monster touched me with his noodly appendage
19. And said unto me “Surely my son, I do understand,
20. But what if you fill of the meat and the balls? Then you will not have tasted
21. The gloriousness of the pasta which has been presented unto you.”
22. And I humbled myself, and listened to his truth,
23. For in life, as in pasta, there is need for balance and companionship.
24. And every ingredient has its own specific role.
25. And the Flying Spaghetti Monster did speak unto me:
26. “Take not the garlic on into excess,
27. For it is a privilege and not yours by right.
28. If thou heedeth not this warning, then let thy body be plagued,
29. Until the end of the night, with gas and bloating and breath that is foul.
30. And take not the parmesano on into excess,
31. For it is a privilege and not yours by right.
32. If thou heedeth not this warning, then let thy body be plagued,
33. Until the end of the night, with gas and bloating and breath that is foul.
34. Heed of these warnings, as you eat of My Body,
35. And proclaim them to thy world around,
36. That what is spoken is truth, and through this truth is happiness
37. For through these words you’ll keep friendship, and through friendship good nights.”
But what does the Invisble Pink Unicorn have to say |
Seriously though, you can't ignore all the bad things. If god created everything, then he also created the ebola virus, earthquakes, rabies, that dog, my dad's mother, football fish, volcanoes, gnats, ticks, poisonous spiders, deadly snakes, the forbidden fruit, and every other piosonous animal, disease, and natural disaster (or at least the system that spawns natural disasters) etc.
When you take god out of the equation: tsunamis, viruses and ugly/dangerous animals all make sense.
These are the type of questions people who believe in God stay clear of. OK, so blame deadly animals on Adam and Eve, but what about the natural disasters? Adam and Eve's disobedience not only caused imperfection,deadly animals but are also responsible for earthquakes, tsunami's, hurricanes, tornadoes,typhoons and floods and the destructive lighting strikes and the great loss of life natural disasters cause? Wow.. I know,I know, acts of god,right? no wait, acts of Adam and Eve, I need to correct my insurance providers.
How about outside our planet? explain meteors and asteroids? God created the heavens so they could run into each other and litter the universe? An all knowing and perfect God who isn't bound by natural laws wouldn't need all that debris hurling thru space would he?
I'm sure someone will recite from a book that was written long before we were born that will explain everything or will shrug off these questions as somethings we don't know and keep believing in a just and loving creator with blinders on.
Pass..
Create questions He cannot or will not answer?
Is it judging to want answers to your questions?
Or are we designed to settle for our guesses rather than solutions and answers?
