I would like to just post a quick topic on something that is rarely touched on but makes most people see how illogical the idea of God is. PARTICULARLY the Christian god. here are some basic questions:
why make us if he knew in advance he would have to send 99% of us all to hell to suffer forever...
if we are made in his image he must also be a sex hungry, evil thinking, power wanting being aswell.
god hates sin, yet he predicted every one of his creations doing it, but carried on regardless.
whats the deal with jesus? why on earth does he have to 'pay a debt'?
he's god, he can forgive us without all this crud.
what kind of god could watch his beloved son suffer so horrificly.
no man would let his son do that kind of thing would they... in reality that is.
Christians claim they are a humble people yet, a super god loves them, and takes a super personal interest in THEIR lives.. make sense?
I could go on forever. why can't people see what ancient myth crap this is? just like all the other super-natural texts.
it's just an evolution of myths... dear santa claus... dear easter bunny... dear god...

This is just a grab bag of random complaints about Christianity. You need something much more focused. If you want to give it a major rewrite, post a note when you're done and I'll give it another look.

Dear sir I disagree that it is a grab bag of random complaints. I will admit it may be a grab bag of logical questions that I would be interested to hear answers for, however, would you be able to edit it for me to your liking?
thanks in advance

I have plenty to do already. When the topic proposal is clear and focused I'll promote it. You might want to review the Forum Guidelines, particular this:
  1. When introducing a new topic, please keep the message narrowly focused. Do not include more than a few points.
Post a note when you're done.
