It takes no faith to not believe in something that cannot be seen, it merely takes sanity.

Belief in God is no different than people who believe in UFOs or Bigfoot. It takes blind faith without any factual evidence to believe in a God.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence comet evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

In the book of Isaaih, God states that he created evil. In the book of Job, Satan comes when summoned. The truth of the matter is that it is modern Christianity’s simplistic interpretation of God that is lacking. He has his reasons for things, and part of our purpose in being here is wrestling with that, and having faith that one day, “EVERY knee shall bow” before Him.

So does belief in a complex world without a designer. You’re asking me to believe that our complex bodies, our world our solar system came about as a result of chance. How’s that different from believing that a Boeing 747 came about without a designer?

RE: Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?

Errr... if God ( the one who judges what is right or wrong) doesn’t exist, what is evil but the figment of your imagination and mine ?

A random collision of atoms called the Nazis happened to hit on a random collision of atoms called the Jews. You call it evil, that’s your PERSONAL belief, someone else calls it good that’s his personal belief.

If you want to tell me that OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING, there is no good or evil, that’s fine with me. That’s your belief.

But please, don’t call something evil, evil without simultaneously telling me that that’s what you personally call it. Because without God, nothing is really good or evil.
