Guest Chaos Pudding Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 God loves everyone. Although it is sometimes necessary' date=' to inflict pain on them (ex. the story of Job). Those who went through hardships will receive rewards when they go to heaven. That turned out too Christian. But everyone is important. They are a son of god.[/quote'] Of all the examples to use, you shouldn't have used Job. I once saw a play in which a pissed off Job was waiting for God to greet him. Funny stuff. But does this discussion really have to do with religion? It doesn't at its core, but the way you use to justify your decision can definitely involve religion.

Dark Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Any God who would put so many people in such a poor position as that of homeless people for the purposes of trying to teach the well-off a lesson is neither a kind and loving God nor a God worthy of our respect - he is a cruel' date=' absurd monster.[/quote'] But who said that God was omnibenevolent? I mean, it's probably written somewhere in the Bible that God is an ass. And if it isn't, I'll change it just to prove you wrong. Either everyone is important' date=' or no one is.[/quote'] I choose the latter. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehmani Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I would be happy if we wiped 100 Million people of the face of the planet to combat Environmental Damage and Overpopulation, because 7 BILLION people is too much for this planet to support properly. No one is important, they are only seen as important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimiri of the Muse Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 [align=center]I was thinking' date=' is everyone really important to this world? Even the ones we wouldn't think are, do the homeless not remind us on some level that there is bad out there and to be aware of it, to study hard and keep working? Do the people in a position of power in this world, whether it be by voice or a knife tell us to stay faithful and even through the bad, good will arise. Do you agree with this? If not why?[/size'][/align]this sounds like a homework question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then it would only be 1/14 which is less then 10% the total population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But does this discussion really have to do with religion? It doesn't at its core, but the way you use to justify your decision can definitely involve religion. But there's no variation. You either are religions and say crap about souls and sins, or are atheist and say the human being, at its core, should survive, and anyone can be productive. But as perpetuum mobile is a lie, actually everybody consumes more than they produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Metal Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Nobody is important. If I went up to the Prime Minister of Britain or the President of the USA and shot them in the head, would the world stop turning? No. That of course is assumption. I would be shot dead before I could even grab out my gun out but all the same, Humans are just humans. Nothing more. Any God who would put so many people in such a poor position as that of homeless people for the purposes of trying to teach the well-off a lesson is neither a kind and loving God nor a God worthy of our respect - he is a cruel' date=' absurd monster.[/quote'] Who said that God is suppose to be a holy man of honor and valor?
