Yeah.. when people use "u r" in their posts it can generally be gathered that they aren't putting much effort into formulating their thoughts.

His opinions are like many- the misconception that humans could have free will in the presence of an omniscient god.

He likley still believes that his god is omniscient and omnipotent, but doesn't realize that this means free will is impossible. Blaming everything on freewill and saying 'god can't interfere with free will or it wouldn't be free' is a fine copout for those whom logic forsakes.

Evil must exist in order for good to exist; there can be no light without darkness, no warmth without cold. (If this god is all-powerful, it doesn’t have to follow the rules because it makes the rules, truly being all good this being would not make up a rule that caused so much suffering)

I would agree with most of this however God is described in the bible as being a Just God as well as all-powerful so therefor if any rule was laid down he would abide by it.

But then again it is written that God will ultimately destroy all evil. hmm

I'm not so sure its fair to discriminate others for using "u" and "r" in their writing. Everyone should be able to lay out their words without being ridiculed, mocked or humiliated.

It is certainly not fair to discriminate against ones abuse of the English language.

It's more of a matter of how you percieve those who are too lazy to take the time and use it. If they're too lazy to learn English, then perhaps they're opinions are simply not worth reading.

One is merely the lack of the other - no big deal.

Try to keep this on topic. Posts solely about another's ability to write in correct English do not respond to the subject and therefore have no place in this forum. If you want to complain about the use of correct English on this forum and its relation to the validity of other people's thoughts, make a new thread about it in the Off Topic forum. Any more comments about JJR's writing abilities will be deleted.

Thanks.

Ok, I realize this will offend many as sacreligious, but if I were God, here's what I would do:

I would use my almighty power to destroy all evil.
I would use my almighty power to maintain man's free will (this is not impossible for me to do, since I MAKE the rules in the first place).
The universe I have now created is perfect, end of story. No need to sit and suffer until judgement day.
Now that I've taken away man's ability to sin (I destroyed all evil, remember?) they can all live as happy free will beings and they ALL get to go to heaven, and I'm glad because I love my little creations so much. :love:

The fact that God doesn't do these things means he's not the just, loving being we make him out to be, which means he's not perfect, which means he's not God--which means God doesn't exist.
