God Is Evil

[billy]

All I know is that we have the choice to make this planet (our home) a good place for all, a will that we can muster up on our own whether there exists a God or not. We all know right from wrong in reguards to taking anothers life, raping, torturing, stealing, lieing. The means of distinguishing between right and wrong, or good and evil is in us all. Is it instinctive? or was it planted in us by a Higher Being? Does it even matter where it came from? To me the important thing is that it is there in each of us along with the free will to act on it or not.

i think on this one we'll have to agree to disagree

all i know is most of us have no choice because of the choice of someone else.

if i don't use a gas guzzling car i can't feed my family, if i don't toe the line at work i won't have a job and can't feed my family.
if i tell my boss he's wrong, i won't have a job and can't feed my family.

i suppose you could say, "but you still have a choice" but
in somalia, they fight or have your hands cut off with a machete, they say fight or have your children's hands cut off with a machete. of course you can use your free will and choose to have you hands or those of your children cut off but what a price to pay, if this is the work of a god i can only say i don't like him and i think he's evil. (god being jesus)

my take on god is that a higher being doesn't exist in this context. i believe their is a higher state of being which is the order of the universe.
ie the plan or scheme of things. a plan that has to be in order for everything to work, this god has no emotions, cannot create things on a whim but has to follow the rules. it has no knowledge of us or anything else. it's a passive framework that we and everything else adheres too.
some of us are bad and some of us are not so bad, it doesn't care. it's unforgiving, unloving and impartial. it does what it does because it has too.

i don't discount the power we or thought may have to heal or cure. but my god doesn't care. it can't, it doesn't know how to.
