There's a thread created by davidilic9, since closed, titled "God is a ***!" I assume it was closed because of its inflammatory nature, which is well and good. However, it brought to mind the common reaction people have to disparaging remarks made about X, Y, or Z.

Taking Jesus as one's savior, but being a selfish *******.
OR
Living a compassionate, giving life, but rejecting Jesus as one's savior?
And no in-between stuff, or claims that one couldn't take Jesus as one's savior and be a selfish *******---I've run into such characters.

If any of the questions here have reasonable answers, please share.
Q.1 Why did the god of Abraham create hell, or at least lets it exist?
Q.2 Does eternal punishment truly fit the crime of comparatively brief temporal sin?
Q.3 Why create such a narrow and conditional means of avoiding...
I just posted this in another thread, but because I believe it's such an eyeopener, and will probably be missed by most of the crowd here, I decided to re-post it as a separate thread.

SEATTLE (Reuters) – The state of Washington can require a pharmacy to deliver medicine even if the pharmacy’s owner has a religious objection, a federal appeals court ruled on Thursday, the latest in a series of judgments on whether religious believers can opt out of providing services.

In Sunday's newspaper I came across the following:
"The scrutiny isn't limited to the U.S. Australia's senate in April held a hearing . . . ."
In as much as every sentence should end in a period, question mark, or exclamation point, shouldn't there have been one here?
"The scrutiny isn't...
In another thread a Christian member said they often prayed to god for help. My question is: If god is omniscient wouldn't he already know what's going on and will do as he sees fit, which would make such kind of prayer pointless? He doesn't need to be asked because he already knows what he's...
For your entertainment and debate. Kook or troll?

Assuming god is omnipotent and omnibenevolent, why do innocent children suffer? The most common responses I've heard are:

Ken Ham: "Do you know what we need to do in response to the Supreme Court decision on Friday? . . . . For one, we need to build an Ark—a life-size Ark—as a sign to the world that God’s Word is true and the message of salvation is true. I thought of that as I visited the Ark construction site...
