God vs no God (best, different, opinion, atheist)

[slingshot]

Let me end this conversation by saying this. If you go back to one of my posts, I said that leaned toward being agnostic and keep in mind that I was not the only one searching. You might have an answer that you beleive to be true but as I have said, my wife and I were there. Thanks for the replies.

You can defend the myth that god exists, but it's still a myth. With each scientific breakthrough, less people feel the need to defend the myth. People worry about burning in a mythical hell, yet they have no way of measuring the tactile sense of a soul.

Great question. The typical answer will have something do with "his will" and some vague reference to having faith and that "it's not in his plan" to cure cancer at this point in time. Many things don't appear to be high on this mythical God's list of things to do for humanity, including stopping the suffering of the very young, the very old, and the very sick, cruelty to children and animals, and various other things. He does have time though to concern himself with abortion, homosexuality, prayer in schools, and the poster's keys.

How naive do you have to be to believe in this stuff?

....and keeping the traffic lights on green when the believer is in a hurry to get to aunt Flo's house for tea.

their is a reason for all suffering-its called karma-its only temporary-the soul cant be destroyed, dont worry about it-so if that man found God through a set of keys then let it be,if thats what it took for him to beleive then so what!

sorry it should have been 2 completely different sentences

people were saying why dosent God do this and that to help people why is He only interested in finding keys-i was awnsering both

1-karma-thats why people are suffering and it is only temporary-

2-if finding a set of keys is what it took for this man to beleive in God then let it be...........

" if that man found God through a set of keys then let it be,if thats what it took for him to beleive then so what!"....I knew that someone would come up with the answer that I was looking for. Thanks dobeable. Good bye.
