CG: deliver proof of god existence please?

What makes you think God was more or less offended by them? Maybe they had done what God planned for them, but not the survivor. Maybe he was just slower than the rest. On a larger time line, all people die. The survivors are not saved, they just die later.

I could not live my live with such a fatalistic outlook as that. Are you saying that a baby who dies aged 2 days has "done what God planned for them"? If God existed and truly loved humans he would never put the parents through such a horrific experience, that would be the action of a being that hated humans.

In that short a space of time, a baby has the chance to touch a parents life for ever. The memories and smells remain, long after all others fade - the wrinkles on feet so small that they should be smooth, hands that grasp instinctively. The sweet smell that can never be improved on. These are the joys and, while you never get over the pain, you treasure the moments you had - the love that wells up. A child, however briefly held, can elevate the most mundane of people up to levels of grace and this is something to be treasured.

I was told we were asked to kill this thread. I'm willing to keep discussing this with you, but I don't know an appropriate venue. [must ... control ... urge ... to ... get ... last ... word] :laugh:

Nice blocking move, but I'm just helping you with your simplistic argument. So, do you think the presence of evil means there is no good?

Yes, helping me reinforce it.

Allowing thousands of innocent children to be killed by the Nazis is a sure sign that 'god' is a cunt (if he exists, and if he is, he isnt much of a god.),
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

Well, now you are changing your very effective simplistic argument. But how you feel about God wasn't either your argument, or the question. I've asked twice, third times a charm? Your argument implies that evil in the universe means there can be no good. Do you believe your own simplistic argument that bad means there is no good?

No, I havent changed it at all. The logic is simple. God, as a benevolent being does not exist. Some twisted bastard might though, but he's not a god. He's a twisted bastard. ANd by the way to finally answer your facile question, whch I had been hoping to avoid: "good and evil are not mutually exclusive".

So,now we go from 'no god' to 'no benevolent god'. That is a change. You are OK with Christian God or Muslim Allah existing, since you have never accused them of being benevolent? The argument is more than simple, as you said,it is simplistic.

So, the existence of freewill,and the capability to use it, which produces evil,means there can not be a benevolent god,even though it doesn't preclude good from existing?
