Some thoughts for you all to chew on.There was a time when “Evil” …
Aaaaaaaaannnnd I’ll stop right there I think. So what are you on today? 'Shrooms? Acid? Or just a good old-fashined spliff?
Naw. Just transmitting on a different waveband that’s all.
I’m surprised you can pick up my proverbial Radio 4 on Windows-blasing Radio 1 in any case…

One of your relatives,by your own admission,Zac_A…My relative?
Yours too, regardless of what your BBOFT might mislead you to believe, but I have the advantage that I don’t need to believe I’m “God’s special creature” in order to make sense of life, I’m quite OK with being distantly-related to a fish with legs, at least they were actually real, unlike your purported ancestor, who was allegedly “formed… of the dust of the ground”
A lot of people fall down on clinging hard-and-fast to some mis-notion from the very beginning that God has to be some kind of "Personal " God, who “Cares”…
There’s plenty of references in the bible regarding it to be for Humanity to approach God/Christ for redemption, with it simply not being thrust down one’s proberbial throat 99%+ of the time.
The percentage of “Road to Damascus” experiences - has to be <1% of total converts - surely?
“Formed of dust of the Earth” isn’t as silly a concept as one might think.
In Science - every element was created by Nuclear Fusion.
Take the fusion of two hydrogens: 1+1 = 2. 2 hydrogens become one helium.
To make the heavier elements - more and more energy has to be put in, to get less and less energy out.
As such, the wasteful explosion of a star known as “Supernovae” - create most of what we call the transition metal block, including the fancy valuable metals like Gold, Silver, Platinum etc.
Everything in the universe starts as compacted dust and will eventually return to that state over aeons.
The force that brings dust together into new heavily objects is Gravity, and I’ve already suggested that Gravity happens to be everywhere in the Universe (Omnipresent) is all-powerful (it can create or destroy anything - Omnipotent) but what of Omniscient?
If you can look anywhere you want - can you look everywhere you want at once as well?
Dunno. That’s another great mystery to be solved by the Thelogians.
Perhaps God can be distracted? The Devil - certainly can be…
Perhaps God can turn a blind eye? - The Devil often lets his own minions perform the occasional “Good Deed” don’t forget…
Are Israel God’s chosen people on Earth, and Earth God’s Chosen race of alien creatures throughout the known universe?
Dunno. Chalk that upto “Great Mysteries to be solved” as well.
Perhaps Christianity would get better press if the public got to see the advantages in plain sight of BEING a Christian, or even those other “believers” on a different contract: The other mainstream relgious faiths of this world that involve God…
It is Politics that has perverted Organized Religion rather than the reverse.
When was the last time anyone on here got “Done” for “not having any faith”…?
When was the last time you “Didn’t get a job - because of your lack of convictions”…?
When was the last time you DID get a job BECAUSE of your conviction, come to that?
Very true,Winseer.

Imagine if I went round calling people a brood of vipers…
Truthfully, I don’t think I’d bat an eyelid at you using language like that, goes right along with stuff like the “■■■■■ of Babylon”, which I’m sure I’ve seen you talking about before
But, if you were to be calling us vipers, I’d like to be imagined as one of the Crotalinae, aka “pit vipers”, because they have this really cool ability to “see” in infrared, so they can hunt mammalian prey in total darkness.
You won’t be able to appreciate it, but venomous snakes, especially the Crotalinae, are a fascinating product of that thing you don’t believe in, Evolution. But I’m sure you’re happy with your non-scientific explanation of how a creature came to (i) be able to see in the dark and (ii) efficiently immobilise/kill it’s prey with a self-produced cocktail of 20 to 70 different biologically-active compounds.

Because you’re so much more educated and enlightened than the rest of us. This kind of narcissistic superiority complex is the common default position with you religionists
Is it a ■■■■ full moon tonight or what??
They’re BOTH out together and ganging up on us.

You’ll get no argument from me on that score
Winseer:
Coming back to the so-called “Problem of Evil” itself - if one is an atheist, and doesn’t believe in any form of “divine punishment” for one’s sins… You won’t know the difference between Good and Evil, just what the Law lets you get away with - and what it doesn’t.
You really are one of the most ridiculous people I’ve ever ‘met’ Keep the laughs coming
Happy new year,switchlogic.

Figuratively speaking, his lips move, noise comes out, but no sense or logic is emitted.
Did you know that “gullible” is not in the dictionary? Look it up for yourself and report back.
