--How do you know that God, by its very nature, is love and truth?
--Are you simply defining God to be a being whose very nature is love and truth, so that any being who claims to be God but whose nature is not love and truth is not really God and there is another being who is the true God...
Exactly. That point right there irrefutably disproves the existence of an
All-Knowing, All-Powerful, All-Compassionate God.
Suffering is supposedly for our benefit and for the better of the world, but God should be able to bring about this "benefit" we are supposed to get from suffering...
In other words, "I do not know the answer so I will make one up."
By the way, the Big Bang is NOT the beginning of the universe. It is only the beginning of the KNOWN universe. It is only the beginning of what we can see in space. Suppose you are standing right next to the furthest...
The problem with that is... How does God know for sure that he really is All Knowing?
For example... God must think:
"Hmm... maybe there's a being standing right next to me that I'm not able to detect.
Could that be possible? Perhaps such a being does exist and is more powerful than...
You are somewhat right.
It is true that it can not be proven that there does not exist some supernatural being out there.
Although it can be proven that a particular understanding of this supernatural being is incorrect.
The most popular understanding of this supernatural being is that it...

To me, this suggests that the Bible+Quran were:
1) Fabricated by Men
OR
2) In the view of the God that these 2 books speak of, women are worthless except for use by men
As far as I know, no where in the Bible or Quran does it say something like:
"And God said to them, "go into their...
This being who claims to be all knowing+powerful does want something from us he
does not have - he wants us to worship him. Why would he want us to worship him? Perhaps he likes to feel all powerful because he realizes he really cant know for sure that he is all powerful. Perhaps he is more...
I'm a bit confused at what you mean... I want to clear it up...
DO you mean:
1) It is not possible that something can be all knowing
OR
2) It is possible that something can be all knowing
OR
3) I can not know if it is possible for something to be all knowing or not
lol i see that you edited...
Perhaps he is telling us to love each other to make us believe that he loves us and therefore deceive us into worshiping him because he likes being worshiped.
In fact... to be honest... it doesn't really seem like he cares if we love each other...
all he requires is that we worship him to get...
I completely agree.
----Lets says some being comes in front of you and does things like walking on water, flying, curing diseases, dying and coming back to life, moving mountains,

----NONE of that proves that this being is All Powerful, All...
