So I'll say again, that is why religious arguments are pointless - because 'non-Christians' do not understand why we believe.

He didn't create a flawed man, the World was without these viruses and orgasms, but as the Bible says, we failed and brought them upon ourselves.

And it's my opinion that life is sort of a test...you need to keep faith, throughout all the good and bad.

And I don't care about facts. Facts mean nothing to me, and will never sway my faith.

So ner. :P

We bought ebola on ourselves? It's an organism in it's own right, trying to survive just like we are. Malaria is a parasite that kills to survive. Cancer is a natural problem that can develop within us easily due to the complexity of our biology and the high chances of something going wrong. We didn't bring these on ourselves, they exist alongside us.

God created a flawed man. what kind of all powerful being fails on such a fundamental level?

We bought these things on ourselves. Surely if there was no pain here on Earth, then we'd already be in Heaven?

Why, a cynic would say it was as if Hell had been created by a religion in order to allow it to exercise power amongst the weak and poor...

Evolution has already been touched upon so I will skip that point. So I have a question. I know very little about religion but...

If there were already other people on the earth why did God need Adam and Eve? They sinned, he cast them out of the Garden, they died and he raised them up (several times I think), then they had children who went forth and multiplied. Is this then the point where Christianity starts? Did Adam, Eve and their children spread the word of God?

If there were other people living on the earth why did he want them to know about his infinite being, it strikes me as being a little vain, we have a vain God? Human concept I know but I cannot think of the correct wording that I meant.

The Greeks had their own Gods, the Romans had theirs, other races had differing beliefs. Why the push for his teachings / his Word? Why the need for us to acknowledge him.

As I said I know very little about religion, of any kind really, as it just strikes a wrong chord in me somehow.

Are you sure? Evolution is the combination of several (7 I think) processes. Individually, all of these have extensive evidence to back them up. Generations of dogs cross bred to accentuate certain traits, rats passing down genetic resistance to disease and poison and so on. If people spent as much time reading the plethora of information on natural selection as they did bashing down the bible at every given opportunity, they would truly "see the light".

It fits evolution perfectly. It's all about changing to fit whatever resources are available. Trees and plants soak up carbon dioxide, excreting oxygen. On land plants are so abundant that it makes sense for land faring creatures to be dependant on oxygen, and so they develop that way, etc. "Life finds a way"

The idea that God created us, "his beloved children", and then threw the likes of leprosy, ebola, cancer, malaria and AIDS down to keep us company doesn't really sit too well with me.

IF God exists, and that's an almighty (no pun intended) 'IF', he's not the beacon of shiny holy loveliness that you people percieve him to be.
