God isn't very smart about spreading his word, is he? |
If god wanted to send us all a message, then he is one of the most
inefficient entities this universe has ever seen. Answer the
following.
Q1. If god wanted to spread his word to all the people on this planet,
why didn't god write the bible himself in all languages? Surely he
knows all the languages of this world, doesn't he? He wrote it through
fallible humans, who didn't write it very clearly and they made a lot
of errors.
Q2. OK, so if the bible was not written in all languages, at least
now, when the internet access is available to many people throughout
the world, why doesn't god spread his own word by sending us all a zip
file of the bible via email? I dont think the feds would arrest him
for spamming, would they?
Q3. For those who can't read the bible the god could send them a DVD
player and a disk to see the biblical stories, but he hasnt done that.
How come?
Q4. What about eliminating all other books from other religions? If he
wants to promote bible only, shouldnt he first make sure all other
books from other religions are burned first?
Q5. He could appear in the sky and give us a seromn while we videotape
it. But he hasn't done that either. How come?

Conclusion: It seems god is confused. He is very inefficient about

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

If god wanted to send us all a message, then he is one of the most
inefficient entities this universe has ever seen. Answer the
following.
Surely an omniscient one would not be so stupid as to write a book!
He would simply put the evidence there for all to see.
That's why he created all this light seemingly coming from a million
lightyears away: To fool us into thinking the world was that old.
That's why he created all these fossils: To fool us into thinking ther
was evolution.
He never thought, anyone would believe that little book the devil
wrote about it!

Yes that devil is stupid isn't he?
He even forgot to mention, how God was trying to mislead us.
Maybe he didn't know?
Q2. OK, so if the bible was not written in all languages, at least
now, when the internet access is available to many people throughout
the world, why doesn't god spread his own word by sending us all a zip
file of the bible via email? I dont think the feds would arrest him

I think they would:)
Q3. For those who can't read the bible the god could send them a DVD
player and a disk to see the biblical stories, but he hasnt done that.
How come?
The devil can't afford UPS.
Q4. What about eliminating all other books from other religions? If he
wants to promote bible only, shouldnt he first make sure all other
books from other religions are burned first?
Eliminating?
He wrote those too. All to warn us that there has been no evolution.
Q5. He could appear in the sky and give us a seromn while we videotape
it. But he hasn't done that either. How come?
Why do you think all that cosmic rays are there.
Only to prevent the devil from doing that.
Conclusion: It seems god is confused. He is very inefficient about

Mistake, Mistake.
The devil wrote the truth in the bible,
God - being a bit mightier - created all to falls evidence,
that seems to deny creation.
HE doesn't want to be held responible for the mess he mad.e
And now he is even posting on alt.atheism to fool us again.

Not quite. They, in their omnibenevolent wisdomŪ, set up an eternal
concentration camp and that needs to be filled. With people who never
heard about him, or picked up sticks on the wrong day.
Suppose they didn't rig the planet with booby traps. How else could
they fill that everlasting place of torture?

Why do you need a zip copy? You can go to the bookstore and buy a cheap one.
Q3. For those who can't read the bible the god could send them a DVD

Again, I'll ask him at coffee.
Q4. What about eliminating all other books from other religions? If he

You for one already have access to a bible, and you still have no idea what it says.
Q5. He could appear in the sky and give us a seromn while we videotape
it. But he hasn't done that either. How come?
Why would you need to videotape it. We all know what the bible says. What is your
excuse?

3. Editors
4. Printers
5. Truckdrivers

He's not. He's paying the labor for people who produced the copy he purchases.
It handed it down to Moses, for free.
It cost money to reproduce. Would you do it for free, or would you expect to do it for
free?
You for one already have access to a bible, and you still have no idea what it says.

No, the bible is the revealed word of God but put pencil to paper by men.

Three "can't answers"
Why should we have to *buy* the word of your god?
He's not. He's paying the labor for people who produced the copy he purchases.
It handed it down to Moses, for free.
It cost money to reproduce. Would you do it for free, or would you expect to do it for
free?
Four, "can't answers".
You for one already have access to a bible, and you still have no idea what it says.
Irrelevant.
Especially if you're hiding from it.
Sunshine, I was a xtian, before you were a twinkle in your daddy's
eye.
Why would you need to videotape it. We all know what the bible says. What is your
excuse?
The bible is the work of men. That it asserts, or is asserted, to be
the word of a god, does not make it so.
No, the bible is the revealed word of God but put pencil to paper by men.
Do you have anything to support that assertion, other than warm
fuzzies, wishful thinking, and fear of the dark?

No, really, next time I have coffee with God, I'll ask him.
Next time I meet God for coffee, I'll ask him that question.
Why do I have no difficulty with the proposition, "Duke believes he
has coffee with gods"?
I notice you have a little trouble with comprehension.
Then tell us; What does ">>>Next time I meet God for coffee, I'll ask
him that question." mean?
It mean that next time I have coffee with God, I'll ask him the question. What is your
problem?
Is this god of yours, this all creator, incapable of creation a book
in all languages, that can be picked up and read by anybody, and
immediately understood, without need for others to tell us what it all
means?
No, he's not incapable. He decided on that route.
Two "can't answers"
You just refuse to accept that God has his ways. He doesn't consult with me first.
If it can, then why use mankind to write it.
If it cannot, then it is not an omnipotent god.
What makes you assume he didn't have a reason for the way he chose?

Not likely, on either point. It is possible you're older than me. But I don't see the
former Christian in you.

Obvious is defined as "easily perceived or understood; quite apparent."
But I guess you don't use dictionaries either. All you need to know is
