God is evil if He has miracles and does not use them.

But he seems to be quite good at ignoring starving children or people with terminal diseases and quite good at heaping rewards on Paris Hilton.I wonder where his priorities are?

We inherit sin. If enough people believe and pray things would change. Why Paris Hilton? Don't assume that rich people are going to get off in the end. But you'd know all this if you spent time finding out what God thinks.

This is also something that I'm questioning.
Is it?Is it a human problem, or is it an intelligence problem?
That is, is this a problem only-for-humans, no matter what? Or is it a problem for any being that has sufficient intelligence?It is my contention that this is a problem for anyone of sufficient intelligence.
It is my contention that God would have sufficient intelligence (if He is as described by any opinion I've ever heard of for God).Wouldn't that make it God's problem, too? Says who?
Are you sure the daughter in my example would think so?
Are you sure anyone who calls themselves a "good person" would think it's better for God not to interfere in the example I provided?What evidence can you show to explain the seemingly unending confidence you have that "God staying out of things" would be "better?" Right. And how is allowing the daughter in my example to be raped "better" than removing the free will of the humanity of the rapist?
You seem to have so much confidence that free will is so much better. But you also seem to be avoiding answering my question directly.Refusing to say God shouldn't prevent the daughter's rape deserves more of a response than "it's probably for the best...."
Yeah. I've heard many people say that sort of thing before... right before they choose to ignore a horrible act occurring right in front of their face. Such a phrase (in my experience) is the mark of a coward.Do you have a real reason to allow the rape? Or is it just "probably for the best..."? Why's that?
Do you really think the daughter in my example cares if a human prevents her rape or if a supra-human dictator prevents it - no matter how benevolent he/she may be?Is your pride in your principle really so important so as to allow an imaginary innocent girl to be raped? Fair enough.
I won't even do an example involving yourself specifically.What about the daughter in my example, though? Does she get the same choice, or just you?How does "deciding her fate" work for her?Is living her life whatever way she wants until she dies of old age really best described as God "deciding her fate?"
Is it better if she commits suicide at a young age to finally end the pain after the rapist "decided her fate?"

"The God who doesn't believe in equal rights for homosexuals." Do you have any idea what sin is, and what God has said about sin in the Bible? You are not talking about "equal rights," this is about special rights for a violation of God's law that can only make problems for people who respect and obey God's law. This is insanity almost by definition. You can invent your own God but the one you invent isn't going to hear your prayers or follow your wishes anyway.

Yeah, He makes them gay and then smites them for being gay.What a jerk.

So those no good starving kids had it coming because your god made sin inheritable?Got it.God is great.

Now, let's be fair. He knew they would be gay long before he made them gay so it really is their fault.Those silly gays...

Inheritability is a law built into the fabric of the universe. You people are fighting natural law. Tilting at windmills. We try to help the starving people in many ways you know, and Christians do the most of it, sending food and technical knowledge to improve their lives.

He also knew the other sins all of us would commit, but are you asking for "equal rights" for pedophiles? I'm sure they have no more power over their inclinations than homosexuals do, or fornicators or even serial murderers.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

He does NOT "make them gay." ALL sin is the result of the Fall, the opposition of the created to the Creator.

Are you sure about this? The universe doesn't seem to agree, mostly because it doesn't seem to care.
Basic human decency, on the other hand, strongly disagrees.

Unfortunately your idea of "basic human decency" is nothing but sin in itself, as scripture says: "All our righteousness is as filthy rags." Our RIGHTEOUSNESS is sin too. God made the universe, we have to do it His way.

God both foreknew and set-up The Fall to happen according to His Will, so yes, He ultimately is responsible for it... as He is responsible for everything.You need to brush up on your Calvinism.

Except for banning slavery. No, he couldn't have done that

Your god is evil and I would fight him till one of our deaths.
