my question is not so much if god is all powerful, then why did he create all this pain and suffering, but if god is all powerful, then why do we supposedly go to hell for things like, commiting suicide if we are extreamly depressed, or simply if we dont "accept" jesus. If he is all powerful, then doesn't he have the power to bring us to heaven and not let satin or whoever take us to hell"?
And i'm sick of it when christians tell me...it is my choice if want to go to hell or not..it is my choice if i want to accept jesus or not. First of all, i dont think that is really true... I don't see myself as ever being able to look at something so black and white, i don't think i could ever willingly change my views on how i feel about religion...second of all, why would anyone desersve to go to hell, just because they question the existance of god or disagree with certain things that the bible says? No one deserves to suffer for eternity for having their own beliefs/opinions and questioning thinngs! isn't this what we are taught in life?
The bible makes god sound like a dictator...like Sadam Housain "If you don't do it my way, then you suffer...you die!"
I hope i dont offend anyone by this, but the bible makes it sound like god is quite the evil one: if we "dont accept jesus and believe in him", then we burn in hell for eternity!?? It's not right or fair in any way. It actually goes against much of what the bible says itself! It's like it all contradicts itself!!!!! Actually, i've recently come to believe that the bible is just a big puzzle book of lies and jokes and contradictions.
I'm not an athiest, but i'm not any organized religion. I believe that anything is possible, because no one knows what happens when we die. The bible may very well be true (but i hope it isn't!), but i still think it is a bunch of BS!
So many people look at is so black and white--like there either is a god, or their isn't. It doesn't make any sense to me. I prefer to keep an open mind about everything, especially since no one really knows what happens when you die...anything could be possible.
