//Please just give me ONE question to answer//
//. https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Society-and-Culture/Religion-and-Spirituality/Question1628248-6.html//


Why would I want to 'befriend' a God that admits that it creates evil?
Isaiah 45:7...
//I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things//

[Jackdaw33]

Is there any point to all this? Atheists and believers ranting against each other. Same old...

[nailit]

If theres no point JD then why even bother contributing to the thread (as you did at the start) If you don't believe theres any point then don't bother contributing...simples!

[nailit]

In fact, whats the point of contributing to ANY thread for that matter?
Same Old???

//I have friends that are that way inclined, but we don't discuss it.//

As do I nails. Although in fairness. You did invite him to discuss just that by opening the post and using his "handle", so I guess he had no option. Now when Theland accused "someone" of being tiresome, who do you think he was addressing himself to?

Let me help You with an observation. You will understand this I know. Is it good manners to ask an overweight and furiously dieting person to go and have a pork pie? Or a recovering alcoholic to have a drink. Or a drug addict to have a line or a shoot up, all in the best possible taste of course? I am just an observer here, but even I can see that it is often more than theology or respectful debate. Look back over the thread without looking at what Theland posts.

Jack, there's little point commenting - this will continue Ad infinitum, best left.

[Jackdaw33]

I sometimes get the feeling that Nailit is Goodlife in reverse. How tiresome.

Yes I did.
//so I guess he had no option//
We always have options Togo. He could have ignored it.
//Now when Theland accused "someone" of being tiresome, who do you think he was addressing himself to?//
Me by any chance?
Or any other ABer who happens to disagree with him and ask for proof??

With all respect Togo, You have totally lost me there.
//Look back over the thread without looking at what Theland posts//
lost me again m8. Seriously. I just dont get the gist of the post m8.
Why would I want to ignore what Theland posts?

OK point taken. Ill leave it now.

You know that I am close to the nub of it Nails when we get a weekend intervention out of the blue with a hint that the thread is nearing completion.

"Answer Removed" Ok.

When I was young and knew everything I told my mother there was no God.
'Well, pumpkin' she said 'there are much cleverer people than you who think there is'.
This answer staggered me as she'd always previously assured me I was the cleverest boy in the world.
I suppose if old Einstein erred on the side of safety, I'll keep an open mind.
