What the LDS twitter account looks like: https://twitter.com/LDSchurch
All of a sudden it seem far more realistic the WTS would do the same...

13Will the WT get a twitter account?
by bohm inwith the recent success of the website which really seem to be working beyond at least my expectations, will the wt get a twitter account in the near(ish) future?.
those who guess right win the bragging rights.
my guess is no since twitter invite to much discussion, however they will eventually jump on a popular twitter-like social media service when one arise that is more easily controlled..

psac: BUT what if ( and yes, it is a what if) we know that He knew that letting the child die would simply bring it to another stage of life far greater than this one, a life surround by a love beyond our comprehension, that the child would be reborn and that death of this child would serve a greater purpose for the child, NOT that he THOUGHT buty that not only did he KNOW but that HE made it possible for the child to have all that. Add to that that we would also KNOW that He was right?
I fail to see how it change anything. We are discussing the suffering of the child and the mother. We can think they get rewarded in the end, but why did they have to suffer?
The man can accept the argument too: "If god allow suffering, a world with suffering must for some reason i cannot think off be what god intents. At any rate, we all go to heaven. Therefore I will let the child die".
What is wrong with that argument if anything?

psac: If "Life just is this way" is accetable to an atheist then the atheist can't really fault the theist for stating that "God is just that way" either.
Come on! You started out by considering how to define evil; certainly you must see why there is a difference here? Things that cause suffering happends that is a fact; it cannot be "acceptable" or not it is how things are. What we are considering is what conclusions are indicated if someone is watching passive by horrible suffering he or she can prevent.
Again, do you feel any of these arguments come close to working for the man with the child in the car?

9yr old girl kills her gun instructor with an uzi
by EndofMysteries inhttp://www.cnn.com/2014/08/26/us/arizona-girl-fatal-shooting-accident/index.html?hpt=hp_t2.
"a 9-year-old girl learning to fire a submachine gun accidentally killed her instructor at a shooting range when the weapon recoiled over her shoulder, according to arizona authorities.
another reason to go against those arguing that young children should be taught how to use guns.

TD: Then it appears we agree. I have no problem with a child firing a gun per see; i had a low powered air gun when i was a kid. However some guns are not safe for kids to fire in the same way an adult would fire them.

psac: I appreaciate you do claim to have a single universal answer. The problem is i am back to the man with the child in the car. He might say: "Yes but i was REALLY just doing nothing because i feel deep in my hearth that suffering is part of Gods plan for mans development". He might even cite swinbournes typical arguments at this point and say he feel his inaction will also bring these other states of goodness about: "Just imagine; if no children died needlessly, no people would read about it in the newspapers and feel a special soul-making sense of empathy, or perhaps be moved to do other good deeds which is also good". We can then agree that he MAY be right.
But where does that leave us? I think such an argument is absurd. it MAY be right, but nearly everything MAY be right in that case. What matters if we feel the argument is REASONABLE. I certainly don't.
You have not actually addressed the case of the man. I assume you agree with me that his inaction in the situation would lead you to think he was unlikely to be loving or caring to all humans?

TD: Polonium is radioactive, water is radioactive. Obviously the relevant difference here is in magnitude as is it the case with the uzi vs. the low-powered gun. specifically the amount of momentum transfered per shot and shots per second.

This is just so nasty. I have no words. If fear of "racism" (really, what view of pakistanis is implied for that fear to make sense?) is involved that should be considered criminal neglect.

Where was the dead body of Jesus? Did the disciples disappear it?
by opusdei1972 ini am currently an skeptic, but i have to admit that i can't assure that all the stuff of early christianity was false.. for instance, we know that the genuine letters of paul were written before the destruction of jerusalem.
so, paul affirmed that jesus resurrected, though he was not there when it supposedly happened.
but, if jesus did not resurrect, why didn't the jews expose this falsehood?.

psac: God asks us to be responsible for our fellow man, but He is not responsibel for His own creation.
This is not the problem actually and this way of phrasing the problem hide the real issue. For instance, the man who walked by the car with the child might not ask any of us to do anything at all but that has very little to do with how we view his inaction.
