I was arguing with a friend on the existance of god...?

Question

And I said that if he existed he would strike my down right there and then. Well i'm still here, what do you make of that?

Answer 1

Haha..because you lack wisdom, you do not know the answer. It means, God does not answer to your call. He does as He pleases. He has your day marked. Who do you think you are to tell God what to do, you little rat in God's eyes! ha ha ha ha ha ha....

Answer 2

That implies that 1.you're deserving of death for saying that, 2. when you said it you did not actually want to be killed (even if you did truly want to die, God generally doesn't kill you). and 3. If God himself chooses to be hidden in such a way that allows us the intellectual free will to decide our actions, why would he reveal himself fully on your account?

to explain number 3 better, if God truly did reveal himself in front of you (without a doubt) and told you to do something, you would really have no choice but to do it, and since God created us with free will intentionally a constant or on demand revelation would severely inhibit our free will.

Answer 3

Well yes.  If God existed he would have made contact by now.  It's just amazing how so many people can believe in him, with all the information we have at our disposal.

Answer 4

Someone actually said you'll die some day, and that is suppose to prove that god exists?  That's LOGIC for ya!  

Ok then, I'll make this prediction, if I live this entire day through, then my gods protect me!  \o/ for self fulfilling prophecies!  

Answer 5

dude

what do you care

actually

if god is as merciful as he claims

he would forgive you and forgive all the people

and let everyone to heaven

and people like me and you and many others who are not sure or don't believe in god should be forgiven because it's not our fault

he is doing everything

he controls us

so he should've made us believe in him

ok

i'm a human

and i don't think my mercy should be compared to god's

but i could say that i'm more merciful then his claimed mercy

how is that ?

if i was God

i wouldn't even create life and make people suffer

when something good happens

they say it's from god

when something bad happens

they blame it on the devil

wait a sec

why did god create satan ? if he knew he's ganna be satan and burn in h**l eventually ?

so god likes watching people in pain and suffer

Answer 6

I think that's ridiculous. God is not going to take your life just to prove a point.

Answer 7

dude get on with your life instead of mocking other poeples religion. move on, get over it. so you dont believe in god, why are you even here?

Answer 8

If God did what everyone commanded him to do there would be alot more millionaires.

Answer 9

Spiritually God will enter your brain when you are sleep and the nightmares will come while Satin wrestles with God and you will awake the next morning with a tremendous headache from all that punching and kicking in your head during the night while you were asleep. So if you don't repent now it will happen again and reoccur each night until you see the light of day. Good night and sleep tight with pleasant dreams until tomorrow.

Answer 10

Keep waiting...you'll die one day...maybe not right now.  And maybe He wants you around so other people can laugh at how silly you are.

Answer 11

The real question here is what you make of it , since it was directed to you.

People say a lot of things , just look at out presidential candidates.

Answer 12

Another answered said:

"I think that's ridiculous. God is not going to take your life just to prove a point."

Ever read the Old Testament?

Iff god did exist, he should have at least sent a sign that everybody could see and definitively proved his existence.

Answer 13

It can't be indefinitely proven or disproven.

Theism can, however, be disproven to the point of reasonable doubt.  

Answer 14

God is so far above your intellect,you think God is doing crossword puzzles waiting for requests from jokers,He is not.

Answer 15

The author Sinclair Lewis was once invited to a church to defend the creation of "Elmer Gantry" - a slimy preacher character in one of the books he'd written.  He spoke a few words, but then he spent about half hour in the pulpit daring God to strike him dead - at times he even demanded God to - just to prove His existence...

Sinclair Lewis left the church, but never wrote any more attacks on religion either...

Answer 16

faith is the essence of religion ,,god is the source of all good things and as for the bad things,,it's the consequesces of human ignorance  

Answer 17

That God is patient and slow to anger...

Answer 18

Faith cannot be argued with logic.  They are different domains of knowledge.

Answer 19

God is indeed merciful. We do now live under the grace of God.

This time of grace is to allow you to know God.

Answer 20

Hey the xfile, you are a loser who has no life.

I think it's our job to smash down religious people.  I have no respect for ignorance and I don't think it should be tolerated

Answer 21

"Ask, and ye shall receive"

Well, since you did not receive, then He must not be real.

Answer 22

I think you might be onto something.

Answer 23

We've all done that BUT 'they' still won't believe that there are NO invisible sky critters.

Weird, huh?

Answer 24

I have heard Christians say, "Never question God."  Gee I wonder why.  Could it be that you will not get an answer?

Answer 25

Either there is no god or God is not what you thought it was.

Answer 26

Imagine wondering why you were not given a second chance while on the end of a BBQ stick!

Answer 27

I don't make a whole lot of it. The main reason is that you assumed right from the beginning that God strikes down people for saying what you said. God doesn't  act on anyones assumptions. By the way, did you know that the same  Isaac Newton that you use in your name was a Christian? Something to ponder if you aren't a Christian.

Answer 28

What I make of that is this: God is long-suffering and merciful and desires that none should perish. His desire is for you to come to repentance and be reconciled to Him. Perhaps you should make better use of the mercy He has shown you to earnestly seek after Him. If you do, He promises that He will reveal Himself to you.

Answer 29

be careful for what you asked for.  God might give you that and there's no place for regret but suffer.  pray and asked for forgiveness.
