How would God deal with this woman arriving in heaven? |
A woman, severely disabled since birth, leads a good life and therefore
arrives in heaven.
There she meets God, and says 'Why did you condemn me to a whole life of
disability?'
What would God say in reply?
I believe that a God of love could not answer her question without
invalidating his whole existence.
So, that's all there is to it. He cannot exist.

That would be the Christian 'God'. The OT 'God'
would say, "Hey, I work in mysterious ways my
own ends to achieve. So, shut up, or I'll send you
to Hotel Hot Squat!"
'He' doesn't exist, either. And, if anyone tells you
they're both the same 'God', you can tell them
not since Constantine.

Thanks for answers, which generally confirmed my view: This God of love is
a pretty nasty piece of goods. I suppose that if he was a footballer he
would complain that the playing field was much too even.

'I see here that you have felt your whole long life that being so unfairly
severely disabled from birth, as well as having no convincing 'proof' that I
exist, has caused you to deny my existence. Well let me tell you something
you little piece of maggot diarrhea: Being 'good' means nothing in these
parts. I require that my human playthings worship and adore me *despite* my
being undetectable to you. I also insist that you mortals possess a
whole-hearted, undying 'faith' in Junior. Uh, I mean my son 'Jesus'. That's
just how it goes, douche-bag.
As for your severe disability from birth. Quit grumbling you miserable piece
of whining human excrement! I've done *far* worse to people and *they've*
somehow managed to bow, scrape, and grovel before me -- even *die* for me --
without repudiating precious 'moi'.
So my verdict upon you? Hah! Take a guess, poop for brains. Bye, bye. It's
eternal torment for you. I deserved your heartfelt, undying love and
devotion to me and Junior. And what did we get? Another ho-hum 'good'
person'. We demand constant worship and adoration. So go to Hell! And I mean
that *literally*! I've got another whiner like you waiting in the 'batter's
box', so to speak. You may have heard of him. His name is John Merrick,
otherwise known as 'The Elephant Man'.
Now beat it.
I believe that a God of love could not answer her question without
invalidating his whole existence.
So, that's all there is to it. He cannot exist.
Oh no? Mmmm. Let me think about that a little bit more. How *could* a 'God'
like the one above possibly exist? If it did, it would make him an 'evil'
God. Most certainly not a 'loving' one.
I see no more reason to believe in an 'evil' God than I do in an infinitely
'good' one. I, therefore, don't believe there is any reason to believe in
*any* 'God'. And guess what? All he'd have to do is stick his big ole'
supernatural head through the clouds and wave 'Howdy!' to prove me wrong.
Greywolf
Sorry. Can't help it. The truth is the truth. You can't deny it when it's
staring you right in the face.
What is one to do?

That's your idea of clever? What if the deity wanted the woman to learn
a lesson about humility she wouldn't have learned with a whole body? It
could be that with a sound body she would have ended up as a serial
killer.
There are tons of ways to show gods don't exist, but this sort of thing
won't do it.

"It was an unsceduled test" is not a good answer, or excuse, for such
treatment.

Is this the lesson the USA gave preemptively to Iraq? "You shall be
humble", "Thou shall learn to love me", "damn it! love me you ungrateful
barbarian".

And the almighty god could not think of a bettere way to solve the
problem?

One can always come up with some kind of rationalization, as long as
logic is ignored.

Then why are there serial killers? Why aren't they all born severely
disabled?
