I suppose, technically, he is sucking all dicks, all the time. He is everywhere, after all.

Haha you got me there.
But if this abrahamic God did exist, then I wouldn't care about him. He created the world, but he also created the worlds problems. To be honest, he sounds like a complete douche that I just want to turkey slap.

Duh, He created the problems (actually that wasn't Him, that was Satan, but I think you're going for transitive guilt here) but He also has the solution. He's just giving us a chance to solve them on our own. It's like telling a little kid "ok, fine, you can assemble your new Christmas toy yourself" and then stepping back and watching as they make a complete mess of it, then jumping back in to save the day when the kid finally turns around and asks for help. I mean, come on, if God just showed up out of the blue and offered to help humankind, how many people would accept? Especially since the way He plans to fix it probably won't make sense to us.
As for him being a douche- He probably has at some point. (everywhere, remember?) And feel free to turkey slap the nearest Wall because of that. But regardless of whether or not you like Him, He made the world, He probably knows how it works better than any of us, and I think He has a better plan for fixing it than we could come up with on our own.
That's just my opinion, though, and I understand if you feel differently- you've probably had different experiences with Him than I have.

The problems other people create are not my problem. So it's stupid when you say "We created the problems." No don't include me in this fuckfest I don't want to be a part of. God probably doesn't exist. And if does, he's an asshole. Why does he have to test us? He can fuck himself.

Fine, don't include yourself with the rest of humanity. You are your own unique little snowflake that has never harmed a fly. I'm going to ignore your outburst and focus on your question.

Quote: Why does he have to test us?

Because He wants to know who the good people are and who the bad people are. He doesn't want to be stuck in Heaven with people who are mean, He wants the people who He can trust to follow His instructions.

But isn't he "all-knowing"?

Yeah- that's where the whole "free will" paradox comes in. He knows what we're going to do, but He still wants to give us the chance to do it. The big debate about free will has been raging for centuries though, and I haven't found any satisfactory answer. The closest I've come is that God could, in His mind, play out all of Earth's history and just punish or reward people accordingly, but then we'd have no idea why we were being punished or rewarded. Since our circumstances and choices change us somewhat, He wants us to go through all of it.
That's not a good answer, though, and if you have a better one I'd like to hear it.

Yes, and if you've noticed, most times I try to stay as far away from these threads as possible. I just doesn't go well on these forums.

Wait a minute you're a Christian too?
I'm sorry I've drawn you out of your safe place. I didn't realize SS was so hostile.

Don't worry, it's not the first to time I've been dragged into the fray. Just keep in mind that most people here are anti-authoritarian. The idea of anyone let alone a god telling them what to do or how to live chafes them.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind in the future. I did want a lively debate about the Bible, but this is a bit too much for me to handle. I guess I'll have to grow as a Christian elsewhere.

Religion has fucked many of us here in the ass. Not only it's teachings but the fact that it was forced on us. We come here to get away from it.

I'm sorry- I thought the site's hatred was directed at the evils of the school system, not every authority everywhere.
Kind of a n00bish mistake, in retrospect. I'll try to keep my Biblical opinions to myself unless a thread is specifically about it.

You're still free to express your views. I stay away from religious debate because I was once a devout christian. No longer obviously, but I understand those who believe.
