[quote:Anonymous Coward 20793638:MV8yMDEyNTY2XzMzODMxMDAwXzExOEIwMjcw] [quote:Nobody... 967366:MV8yMDEyNTY2XzMzODE4OTA2X0YwRjE4MDIw] Evil was our choice, not his...who are you to question God? Yes, our world is condemned (read Gen.3), and it is evil. If God were to abolish evil you would never seek him (he cursed the ground, Genesis 3:17). There is a purpose, and a plan at work, so they we may be reconciled with him. His son shed his blood for the remission of our sin (Matthew 26), so there is a glorious way out (John 3:16). Accept Christ, and you can avoid man's most ominous evil, and that is death. He defeated death, so that we may have everlasting life. God is not to blame, as he gave us freewill, thus tying his own hands. So, dodn't shake your fist at God. He will renew all things... Psalm 14:1 Only a fool say's there is no God... [/quote] Fair enough... Do sexually abused young children have a choice? Their free will was violated. How does God justify this? Who's to blame? [/quote]

Read a few kidnap/torture stories here:

Now my questions are:
A - if there is a god and he is all powerful how could he let these people be enslaved and tortured (some until their death)? What kind of fucking god would do that?
b - if there is a god the fate of these people is just ABSURD - I mean your life taken from you so that you can be a tortured for the enjoyment of some sociopath? Really. What meaning does your life have if that's the case - years of torture followed by death. Simply ABSURD. And if it's just some "test" then why do cock suckers and murders not face the same test (in fact some of these sociopaths simply get away with it)?
c - The concept of fairness is missing in this world. If a young child can be enslaved and tortured for the sole pleasure of a sociopath while criminals, thieves and murderers run rampant, then there is clearly no sense of fairness on the planet. What's the god rationale for this possibility.
d - Can Karma really exist if scum walk freely in happiness while torturing other people? If so how?
I mean these to be serious inquiries in to the existence of god in light of the absurd.
