Why does God give someone a condition like aspergers and then when they screw up hold them at fault for making "judgements" and being bitter?

Because he too has aspergers.

because he is a jackass (= his ways are mysterious)

this means, god is a completely unpredictable nutcase. thats what it means, to BE mysterious.
it means you act in complete randomness. isnt that neat?

i wonder why christians pray, when they know (and preach) that god is completely random as hell and unpredictable. its not like earthquakes and volcanoes are the exceptions of god, he throws them in for a laugh, or maybe he just tilted the tornado-table while cleaning up his study "oh darn!"

I don't entirely discount the existence of some higher power, but I certainly do NOT believe in the God that everyone tries to push on people.

God doesn't "give" anyone a condition such as Asperger's.

It's because of sin. Adam and Eve disobeyed and let sin into the world..

God forgives all who ask, I don't get what you are saying about the judgments and bitter part.

Doubt it. He's supposed to be perfect.

No. Volcanoes, and any other bad thing are all the cause of sin...

I do not know much about praying because I am not a Christian. But most pray to ask for forgiveness, to get guidance, etc. I need to look up more on the whole "why pray for people" part.

2 - No. Any evil is the result of sin.
3 - If God isn't all powerful, can He still be a God?


I think the whole "the result of everything bad and evil in the world is caused by sin" is an especially difficult concept for aspies to grasp... I still have problems with it.

I come to Wrongplanet.net in the middle of a really psychotic horrible mood to get away from all the normal crap, and the first thing I see is "Is there a god?"

Of course there isn't. And shame on you for starting a thread that will inevitably start a religious debate.

No.

The only valid argument for is Hume's philosophy, but that can be argued away with a balance of probabilities; a heap of evidence on one side, and a piece of uncertain philosophy on another, and you can draw a valid conclusion.

Since god set it up like that, wasn't he solely responsible for that?
