i don't really believe in god, but if there was one as described in the bible he would probably not be a nice god.
why would god create the dinosaurs(and other animals before them) and then wipe them out :l? that is quite evil if you ask me

also i know this is a bit off topic, but this video pretty much explain why there is no god

If you're thinking that maybe god punished Elijah for abusing his powers, no he doesn't. He was cool with it.
Elijah ends up going to heaven on a chariot of fire, in case you forgot.

2 Kings 2:11
"11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."

And yeah, I mentioned the verses in the first version already. It's 2 Kings 2:23-24


Good to know someone else is a Christian. And, people choose to sin. In troubled times, people go to killing. GOD DOESN'T WANT THAT!!! He loves people, and wants them to choose him. God let freedom of choice happen so you can choose to follow him. Hope that answers your question.

He didn't make death, sin came into the world, which caused death to come. Before, there was no death. Adam and Eve bit the apple God told them not to, but because there was freedom of choice, Adam and Eve ate the apple, and thats how sin came into the world. If your really interested, look in a bible.

I've never understood why God put the tree of knowledge in Eden in the first place. Or why he didn't notice the fucking devil trying to trick Eve into eating from it.

Or why God wanted humans to lack any awareness in the first place. He was happy when Adam and Eve were literally incapable of thinking for themselves, and once they ate from the tree of knowledge, he condemned the entire human race for eternity because of it.

But someone a few pages back was basically asking, what'd be the purpose to life if everything was perfect all the time? That's more or less what God wanted. If things were his way, we'd be clueless minions to God's will without any capacity to think for ourselves.


Not that genesis should be taken literally. But still, it's a fucked up story.

They can die, they're just capable of reverting back to sexual immaturity. As far as I know none have been observed to live for very long because of it.

It would still go against nature if humans had that ability. Naturally, humans and virtually every other lifeform has a limited lifespan. To change that is to go against nature.

We can't be 100% happy, not in this earth, if we pass this little test (life) overcoming all the problems that we may have in our lives, afterlife we may get and endless state of hapiness

About the world's actual state, well what would be the point to come tothis earth to enjoy endless hapiness for ever after? It has no meaning, when we have a problem and then overcome it, we're "progressing", we always learn things with each problem we've faced, that's the purpose of life for me, be a kind person, overcoming every challange that steps in my way, and have faith that it'll someday get better, waayy better :3
Now that's my opinion *gets ready for loads of posts as a response


I agree with this because it is the best way to explain. Let me try to clear it out more for those who want a longer explanation:

God created this world for us to live in and to balance it, once we are born we are each given a mission to finish, though we never know what is our mission, we will only know once our mission is done or a person's mission is done is when he/she dies, once you die all your problems are gone and you will be free at last from Earth as said we will be rewarded when our time comes. All I can say no one has a perfect life and this world ain't also perfect like to summarize:

People like to maintain order= Too much order turns into chaos= Chaos eventually gets controlled and turned to order= Cycle repeats

That is how the world works and this is how our lives work:

Free and living= Problem occurs in life= Solve problem= Cycle repeats

Mostly our world and lives are just both fair and unfair, good and evil, chaos and order, free and restrained, life and death, and everything else. Just so you people know just try to ignore things and keep going some things in life are better when you don't count how many time you do it instead just keep doing it, it will be over before you notice it.
