For your "perfect balance" notion to even have a chance of being true, you have to totally ignore individual lives.

Which seems to render it a pretty useless idea, to me.

A world with suffering is a perfect world?

It seems you are taking criticism as insulting, why?

Every time reaper posts, an angel passes gas.

It's pretty painful reading quadz's posts, feels like he's talking to a toddler or something.

I wasn't comparing his intellect to that of a toddler's, I was comparing his logic. There's a difference.

Reaper: What I'm asking is: Is it OK for 'god' to 'balance good and evil' with a formula that disregards individual sentient beings' life experience?

Doesn't 'god care about individuals'?

A simple yes or no answer doesn't suffice.

There is no good explanation to the most thought-about questions now, and if there is, in my opinion those answers need to explain questions that science hasn't been able to test.

In other words, "I know very little about how the universe and life came about, let's just say God did it."

hey, opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one. if that's what you feel I said, that's fine with me. but I wasn't saying "let's just say god did it".

I doubt many people who believe in god use that reasoning, and it sure wasn't what I was alluding to above.

DaHanG · « **Reply #1420 on:** July 23, 2007, 08:09:53 PM »

Most people don't use that reasoning, it seems you do. Most just want an imaginary friend who cares about them...people don't like feeling so small and helpless.

Makes you wonder..

Arm0r · « **Reply #1422 on:** July 23, 2007, 09:40:28 PM »

How can you compare the idea of a God and human suffering together? Do we as humans feel worthy enough to even cast a glare at such a being and ask "why"--if you step on an ant hill and kill thousands of ants, and lets say they hold the common knowledge to ask "why", would you being an much higher being give a rats ass what the ants thought? In my opinion, if there is a god im sure he/she/it/etc has a much higher grasp of reasoning in this area due to the fact he/she/it/etc has a higher grasp of exzistence itself--I don't believe you can look at human suffering and come to the conclusion a god does not exzist, because in reality human suffering is nothing in the eyes of exzistance and I think it's foolish to even link our suffering with a debate about god.

Whirlingdervish · « **Reply #1423 on:** July 23, 2007, 10:07:05 PM »

um.. in case anyone was wondering, science has an answer to human suffering.

it's called nature. it's a bitch if you're a weak hairless monkey with short flat teeth and no claws to work with.
