Nothing to see here people, move along, move along.

Raggy, give it a rest. If all you can do is paraphrase folklore, then I think any debate is wasted on you. I think dusting off my copy of Dantes' Inferno would give me a better read.

BTW, Christ should've accepted Buddha as his lord, afterall, Buddha predated him by at least 1000 years. Don't know what you are talking about at the best of times, old son.

Perhaps you don't. It will be more merciful for you in the day of judgment in that case, because Jesus said that those who reject Him while seeing more clearly who He is will be judged more harshly than those who reject Him in greater ignorance of His identity.

What judgement are you talking about? Your Christian one? Doesn't affect me, as my birth-rebirth cycle will outlast anything your so called deity can throw up. Besides, we pagans worry not about what affects you, we just wish you would exercise more tolerance of others and stop all the pulpit -bashing.

BTW, it's you who doesn't know what he is talking about.

That's your own false comfort.

how it is comfort to be cowering before something you can't see
I can't see your god, I can't hear him, he doesn't let me know he's there

so what makes him there?

No, reality, dips**t. If you got you head out of that book long enough you might actually find some.

QFT, Kilroy. Well said.

I don't cower before God, because He has promised me mercy.

You already know He's there. You just choose not to seek Him and know Him better.

Besides, if I had to rely on the word of god to feed me, I'd f*****g starve to death. Luckily for me I am not that ignorant.

Satan killed them. And you're serving Satan.
You're serving the author of the Holocaust.

I have a genuine question about Christianity pertaining to what you just said.

Okay, so the most common question against a loving God is often "why do atrocities happen (in some form." The common reply by the defending Christian is that even though God is the creator and is all knowing, he gave us free will and we are free to choose an do what we like, including acts that go against God. Inversely, often times when someone performs acts that are biblically "good" they said to be doing the work of God.

So my question is, from a Christian standpoint, do we really have free will, or at any time are we being controlled by God (for good acts) or Satan (for ungodly acts)? Do you really believe that it was Satan behind the holocaust, or simply a human being exercising his free will that God gave him?
