This blog is basically an outlet for me to let out my frustrated, cynical views on anything I decide to write about. My principal topic is politics, but let’s just see.

    My perspective is this, whether or not God exists is irrelevant.
    Indeed many of your points are valid from a purely logical standpoint, but that is where the problem lies. To assume that religion or faith for that matter are compatible with logic is a bit silly. Religion has survived for ages not because people have refused to look at the logic of it, religion has survived because the structure of human consciousness is divided between logic and “faith” or superstition. Take, for example, peoples beliefs pertaining to common superstition; People may scoff at the idea that spilling salt or breaking a mirror will cause bad luck, but I am willing to bet that those same people will try to avoid opening umbrellas inside or crossing the path of a black cat. To me, religion is powerful because of the way it manipulates the part of us that feels like we should “cover our bases”, it offers people a clear, black and white path safe from the unending conflict between the logical and irrational parts of our mind. That is why religion is and has been forever connected with conflict, who could possibly bare being told that the ideas they’ve used to anchor themselves to significance are anything but the truth?

    So what is your concept of life or moral values?

    For one, being born with a disease or into a poverty infested place is an exact result of ‘free will.’ Someone has to have sex for them to be born! On top of that, God lets them be born into such places. It could be so that they know what it is like and are better able to relate to others in the same situation later in life or it could be for some other reason known only to God. Let me give you a few words of wisdom: God always has a Bigger Plan, It is not always made visisble to us, That poor child that was born into a terrible situation could cause several other wonderful things to happen. (Like all the people working together to feed starving children in other countries. They would never work together if their wasn’t hungry mouths to feed.)
    And lastly, don’t forget about Satan. God doesn’t control or change most of the pain and suffering out there because Adam chose pain and suffering when he bit inot the forbidden fruit. He basically said when he ate that fruit ‘hey God, I don’t need you. I want to do everything by myself.’ And when God kicked him out of the garden, he was saying ‘fine Adam. have your wish.’ And until Jesus returns he is not going to fix that.
    Those that believe in him will have peace and ease their suffering, but it will never truely be gone until He returns because We chose to. You may think that this is unfair, but that is where the ‘free will’ comes back in. God gives us a chance to end or give over our suffering to Him. Not to mention, he has forgiven all of the bad things everyone has ever done so that we can live in an eternal celebration and happiness. That’s about all I can think of to say…
    Overall, We chose suffering and so God lets us have it until we choose him and Satan multiplies our choice of suffering to the extreme levels.
    Thanks for your opinion though…
    I just hope you change your mind.
