And..... If God knows my every thought from every minute of the day then God has some massive storage capacity. There are billions of people on this planet who have thoughts every minute of every day, all of the people over the last 2000 years who have lived and died had thoughts every minute of...

Why doesn't God tell me himself? Why do we have to rely on a collection of books from way in the past? Why does God need you and others tell me on street corners and the internet? If God spoke to me directly, I'd be compelled to listen. On top of that, direct communication cuts out all of the...

Which God? Yahweh? Vishnu? Shiva? You are correct I don't have a sound understanding of any of them. How can I when they're all invisible and are none interventional? I understand that the God of the OT is needy...He tempted Abraham to kill his own son, how needy is that? The first four...

Ah I see so it's not God's faulty creation or totally natural, it's man's fault again. This self loathing is getting a bit much.... Pain during childbirth.... Man's fault. Brambles droughts...... Man's fault. Not being friendly with snakes..... Man's fault. Volcanoes.... Man's fault. Ebola...

Ok so, who or what do you blame for cancer being created? It's either created as in "all things created by him." Or it's a natural phenomenon.

How can I possibly have beef with God? For me that would be like having beef with Lord Voldemort. I was merely pointing out that "look around you" is not an acceptable argument for the existence of a God. In other words you can't credit a creator with all of the nice things and then blame...

And I blame man for war, destruction of the rainforests, religion, greed, nationalism, vanity etc etc.

Correct. Although I blame man for global warming.

I blame the natural world for childhood cancer tsunamis and hurricanes conversely I marvel at the beauty of the natural world.

Of course not, I don't blame Trump... That was English sarcasm. I've been back and deleted it.

Is it raining in Glasgow? Pouring down here.

Apologies. I haven't got the hang of the quote tags yet.

Yes please refresh my memory.

I understand what you're getting at although if God created man, then God gave us the grey matter to use, he made us as individuals with our own personalities and 'freedom of thought.' If God made us and is all knowing, God must have known that there would be men and women like me. God must have...

That's exactly what I don't understand. Having faith will never be enough for me, I need more than that. I don't pretend to know how the universe came to be, I don't subscribe to the science knows everything brigade... Science is a work in progress. It's hard to dismiss that a creative power...

Yeah I've "looked around" and seen childhood cancer, tsunamis, starvation, hurricanes etc etc etc... Rainbows and pretty flowers don't really compensate.

Should we really be trying to interpret a two thousand year old collection of texts written by largely anonymous authors to establish the existence of God? And more importantly what this God expects from us? The answer is plainly no, unless of course we haven't got a definitive answer to the...

If God exists, I shouldn't have to demand evidence. God would be self evident.

While people are teaching their children to hate opposing religious belief then there will never be peace in the Middle East. Have you ever listened to Imagine by John Lennon?
