Yes, but I don't see it that way, I believe it is an intelligent creative force therefore akin to a God. Therefore I don't consider myself an atheist, but I feel no problems with whatever anyone believes, after all no one really knows.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
unfortunately if there were an intelligent force, aka "God" it would mean that the God was in fact evil. Otherwise how could it allow the Holocaust to happen for instance or allow innocent people to die of horrible diseases for now reason I mean the God would be all knowing and realize the torture people go through, right ? Also that would mean only 1 religion could be right since all other would have to be wrong, so which is the correct religion ? I enjoy this discussion and respect your opinions
Perhaps an uncaring God, perhaps a God who just creates, perhaps a God who is beyond time and space, we don't have the answers we just have the questions. This is incredibly intricate, I could also ask you why would a good God create the Devil (If such a thing exists) and there is no good answer, nobody can give you an answer so all we can do is live according to a philosophy we create as we go through life and just live as best as we can. Is there life after death? Nobody knows, so you might as well live the best you can now and not worry about being burned a lot after you die.
this is where the argument for "Free Will" comes in thus giving the option to do good or evil. It sounds like you may be an Agnostic which is a fair and reasonable stance. And yes,ultimately not much can truly be proven other than "I think therefore I am" everything else is up for discussion. Now, time for tea :)
