Dead girl's rent 'must be paid'

My son asked his RE teacher that if god exists, who made god. Who were his (or her) parents? She just ignored him, but I thought it was quite a good question for a 10 year old.

If the God is so cruel that his only known acts are so bad, then why the heck anyone would want to believe in it? That's another reason to reject its existance.

So if I consider anyone's acts to be suitably bad I can just deny that the person making them doesn't exist?

[KathyWoolfe]

How do you know?

I don't. That's got nothing to do with belief though!

Knowing something, is diametrically opposed to believing something without adequate evidence/proof

No. But you sure as heck don't need to worship them pretending they are good. If you check Bible the God is supposed to be a good thing, but if the only acts of God in this world are bad, then clearly this is a big contradiction. This would mean that there is no God as supposedly Godly acts are not inline with what the religion says - hence, there is no God. And even if it is then such cruelty in my view should create rejection of this God.

I agree.

Didn't you claim you had good marks for Religion in your so-called 'diploma'? Or was it Marxist-Leninist propaganda?

Worship is a separate thing altogether.

The Bible is written by who?
Christians, that's who.
Are they going to ascribe bad or evil acts to their God, no they're not.

The object of the Bible is not as an objective record of events taking place (though this is what the Bible is represented as) but as a piece of propaganda designed to persuade people that the God it represents is worthy of "worship".

'The Self Pity City' is the most awful place in Britain. FACT

The city itself is starting to look good, shame it's full of bin dippers.

Notice that most scousers under 30 have to talk like they are clearing phlegm from their mouths? Older scousers don't talk like that

Good point, but it is a marvellous work of fictional literature all the same.
