Raggs i was a christian for 1/2 my life. Went every sunday plus was part of the Boys Brigade. I know Christianity.
In my example about rape, god is giving the rapist a get out of jail free card, whilst allowing the innocent child to live the rest of their life scarred physically and mentally.
When his so all powerful and loving, he could have stopped it before it happened. Instead watching the act and allowing it to occur time and time again around the world.
How is this love? Just? Right?
This is plain monstrous!
And you talk about free will! How many times did god intervene in the bible?

Who says there was a big bang? Who knows where we came from but it sure wasn't from any so called GOD! Life is pretty much pointless! Born, Bitch, Die! Waste of time. Better to have not lived than to have suffered in living only to then die shortly after. Live is so short its a frigging waste of time. No time to do jack sh.t! Pointless! A God......... ridiculous!

The Old Testament is a different covenant from the New, get that?
God doesn't act like He did in the Old Covenant.
How is it love, is it love to control people like robots, is that your love?

Remember Jesus is talking to christians not secularists, He even has a secular law, that by the way you complain about
Biblical law calls for the execution of rapists, OT stuff remember, that's Gods law for today, for the world

You offer no logic, no common sense, no continuity.

I don't know, have never known, and never will know. There are my answers. I dont claim to know anything just as Christians do. That does not mean however, that me not knowing makes you right and me wrong.
So now I ask you this seeing as you have faith and believe in God -
Who created God?
Who is God?
Where is God?
WHY is God?
You have had honest answers from me, now answer those questions I have put forward to you. I have a feeling they will be the same as mine! The only difference between us is my logic in only accepting fact when presented with evidence or no evidence.

Your logic is flawed
I don't want to argue with you Coombs
Believe what you want, again your logic is flawed

One minute your talking about children then virgins and suggesting they are the same, moving goalposts to win the argument

Jesus said something in John 16, 14, 15, 16 you work it out
Nope, we think that people like you just appoint themselves to these positions and claimed that God tells them to do so. We don't believe in God

If I choose to rape you I can count on you blaming God right?
Get out of here with that hollow crap.
If an earthly authority allows its agents to rape children while they are on the job, the parents would have the right to sue that earthly authority.
Earthly authorities are usually led by people who are smart enough to be able to put safeguards in place. Unlike your god who is obviously too stupid to know how to do that. (And yet claims to be smarter than the smartest human.)
If god put you in a position of trust, told me to trust you, but took no measures whatsoever to ensure that you were trustworthy before, then at best god is an unwise steward.
Again what a silly argument, you are bizarre
Do you think people in ministry are chosen by God?
What does God tap them on the shoulder and say, hey you
God allows people free will, does God deny that and force them into ministry
The church has to answer to the earthly authority as well
Please use your brain
I just can not fathom how you think.
You offer no logic, no common sense, no continuity.

God is in us all, God permeates all, knows all things, and is all powerful....
For me...God is consciousness, and i didn't arrive at that conclusion by a creed.
I have just thought about it my whole life..... so consciousness/God told me,
ask and ye shall receive, all religions have truth in them, but they have "NOT" to be taken literally.
"The Golden rule" is one example of truth, that is in all religions.
