Description
Sometimes, when evil faces the force of good, there is simply innocent forgiveness looking back.Related content

Sometimes I wonder which is which. Too many 'good' people don't forgive at all.

if god werent so a dick i could see this happening but since god hates humanity and freewill this would never happen
π: 0 β©: 1
God doesn't hate humanity and he gave us free will in the first place. He wanted to see whether or not we would choose himΒ out of our own will. Half of the stuff that happens is because we had to be idiots and screw ourselves over

If he wants us to be happy why'd he give us the ability to screw things up? Free will makes no sense.
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay, then in that case would you prefer to be a robot and have absolutely no control over what you did?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well actually I probably would. If I was programmed to be happy of course I'd be happy about it, yeah. But it doesn't have to be black and white. He could maybe show that he exists, but he could still give us the free will to do what we want, just make us believe in him so that way he can save us.

Actually, he is showing that he exists. The Bible is God's word. In the book of Revelations it prophesied things that are currently happening right now, like what's going on in the Middle East. It's impossible for anyone that many years ago to predict that on their own

There have been wars in the Middle East almost constantly since before the Bible was ever thought of, it's not hard to predict.

The thing is, that nobody would expect this large scale of a conflict to be going on thousands of years later. If you lived thousands of years ago in the Middle East would you think it would still be going on thousands of years later. Secondly, the book mentions that all of the surrounding countries will turn against Israel, God's people. Eventually they'll stand alone against the other nations.
π: 0 β©: 1
If they had any knowledge of history they would. The Hebrews have gone through almost constant wars since the first recorded mention of them. Heck, they started most of them! I predict with quite a lot of confidence that if there are still humans with more than one religion in the Middle East in the year 4014, there will be a war there.
Which is again what has always happened, they've always been surrounded by enemies because Joshua took a whole lot of land off the original inhabitants of what became Israel, so straight away he was surrounded by enemes. Since then, Israel, being at the border of three major continents, has been right on the firing line between great empires like the Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans and British. Now Israel has been reinstated it's basically a repeat of what initially happened. A whole lot of land was taken from the Palestinians and now neighbouring countries are pissed off with Israel. It's not rocket science to make a prophecy like that.

Then look at the four horsemen. Everything about war, death, plague, power hunger, and famine are still happening today, no matter how much we advance.
Besides that he still shows that he's there. After all, life has to come from somewhere.
He shows His mercy to us everyday. Why hasn't everything and I mean everything been taken away from you yet?
π: 0 β©: 1
My point exactly. It's the easiest prediction in history! Anyone can predict "there will be wars, death and famines". Anyone!
Yeah and there's plenty of other explanations that don't require believing in invisible supernatural beings who love us but will burn us forever in hell if we don't blindly follow them.
Because there's no physical law that makes all my stuff disappear I guess 
You can't just use "God did it" as the answer to every single question. It's no more credible than "a unicorn did it".
π: 0 β©: 1
Saying God did would not be a good answer to everything but as a Christian I believe that it's all apart of his plan. You're not supposed to just follow him blindly. You're supposed to come by faith. You come because you realize that no matter how much worldly things you obtain, you're not satisfied. You come because you can't find that peace to ease your pain. You come because you feel that your all alone and that no one's there or is going to help you. You come because someone took the time and pain to save you from your sins.
Plus, there isn't any proof that God isn't there.
If you don't believe me, hey, that's y
π: 0 β©: 1
Burden of proof is on the believer. If I claim you stole my computer, I can't get you fined because there's no proof you didn't do it.

Since we're actually having this conversation it's obvious that you don't believe in God. So let me say this. If there is no God then where does life in itself come from. Β Some believe in the Big Bang Theory. They say that in the beginning was nothing and then it just randomly exploded to create the world. That doesn't make sense because if there was nothing and no one then there would be no factors to cause an explosion. Then even with that how did Life happen. If an explosion did create our universe then what made things alive. What made humans, animals, and plants be considered living things that move, grow, think, breath, and act or in other live?

THE BIG BANG IS ABOUT THE UNIVERSE NOT LIFE!!!
There's 5 seperate 'origin' theories that work together, the first is the Big Bang, which explains the formation of the basic cosmos, matter, energy, forces, hydrogen, helium, stars, that kind of stuff. Our evidence for the Big Bang is redshift, stars moving away from us have redder light, and we've noticed galaxies far enough away to be outside our cluster's influence are indeed redshifted, so they must have all been at a single point in the past.
The second is the explosion of stars, we have witnessed supernovas in real time so even more so than the others, this has really really sound evidence. Basically the stars formed after the Big Bang were under so much pressure and heat they went through nuclear fusion (you know, like a hydrogen bomb), and this created large quantities of elements up to Iron. When the stars exploded at the ends of their lives, there was even more fusion, and smaller quantities of the other naturally occuring elements were formed.
Third is Accretion. We've seen this happening before too. After exploding, stars formed gas clouds of new heavy elements (but still mostly hydrogen and helium). These gradually flattened out (like any spinning object) into a plane, and slight disurbances in that plane allowed clumps of dust to accumulate, which over millions of years became rocks, asteroids, planetoids and finally planets and moons.
Fourth is debated, there's a number of theories for how life began, all supported by evidence. They all include a few basic components, Earth had natural energy from meteor strikes and volcanoes to trigger chemical reactions, and we know there were already complex Carbon atoms on comets, which were pounding the Earth at the time. Given 300 million years or so worth of non-events, finally a reaction would have created something self-replicating.
And then boom ,number 5, Evolution by Natural Selection, which has a crap ton of evidence, I won't list it all because you'll get torrents of it with a quick Google search. Basically though, what happens in evolution is an organism's offspring are slightly different to it and each other, and the ones who are less likely to die at an early age will pass on more DNA, meaning gradually life changes to become better suited to the environment and build on itself. The reason life became so complicated is one lifeform created opportunity for another dependent on it, which created opportunities for even more, and eventually they started harming each other, which began competition and the evolutionary arms race between predator and prey. Eventually, this led to intelligence, large size, moving, defenses, etc., because those were an advantage over predators and prey.

First of all the all caps was unnecessary. Secondly, as an honest to God questions, how did the explosion happen since we both can agree that at first there was nothing? Where did the stars that started exploding and etc come from? Where did the meteors that hit Earth come from? Why do we need air? Why if you breath air into a corpse it won't come back to life? Why does all life eventually comes to an end?
Also, the last part of your answer didn't really tell me about life in itself.

No we don't agree that. There was possibly a quantum foam, a multiverse, or something we haven't discovered yet. There wasn't matter yet, there was no "stuff" as we would recognise it, but there was (to grossly oversimplify) timey wimey stuff that could create matter. I reccomend looking up the quantum foam if you want to know more because I am not a quantum physicist or a cosmologist.
Whoa whoa one question at a time.
Where did the stars come from: The matter created in the Big Bang
Where did meteors come from: The accretion disk that the planets formed from
Why do we need air: As an energy source to grow and move
Why if you breathe into a corpse does it not come back to life: Because the cell function has shut down
Why does life come to an end: Because like anything else that uses energy (a computer hard drive or lightbulb for instance), it wears down over time
How so?

I asked about the very essence of life.Β
What made the cells begin functioning in the first place?Β
Where did the quantum foam come from?Β
How do we know that "timely wimey stuff was happening"?Β
You watch Doctor Who don't ya?Β
Why a Big Bang, couldn't scientists come up with another thing that could have happened?Β
Why does energy wear out after a time?Β
What happened to cause the Big Bang?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
There is no "essence of life". Life is cool, but there's nothing particularly special except that it self-replicates.
What made the cells begin functioning in the first place?
Just chemical reactions, look at any cell today.
Where did the quantum foam come from?Β
Nowhere. Just like you say God was, the Quantum foam has been around forever, it's a bit like static, it's microscopic spacetime fuzzing up and down.
How do we know that "timely wimey stuff was happening"?Β
Because stuff jumps around randomly at a quantum level, and something outside matter has to be making that happen. Hence the conclusion spacetime itself is actually a bit fuzzy at the edges, and if it fuzzes far enough, according to the mathematics, it actually creates matter. There's no reason to believe it ever wasn't like this, and since before the Big Bang happened all of spacetime was infinitely small but energetic, we can only reasonably assume the fuzzyness was there and maybe sparked it.
You watch Doctor Who don't ya?Β
WHO doesn't?
Why a Big Bang, couldn't scientists come up with another thing that could have happened?Β
There are in fact many competing theories, but the Big Bang has the most supporting evidence at the current point.
Why does energy wear out after a time?Β
No, energy doesn't wear out, stuff that uses it does. Inevitably in any exchange of energy, some of it changes to Β motion and heat and slightly harms whatever is transferring it. For instance in a disk drive, after a while the drive is scratched and becomes corrupt. Similarly, after a while DNA gets worn down and corrupts, causing ageing and eventually death. A serious injury or illness has the same effect by starving the cells of energy, meaning their protective layers shut down and outside Oxygen gets in and damages them (Oxygen is actually danergous in large quantities).
What happened to cause the Big Bang?Β
As I said before, we don't know, but there are many theories. They include a multiversal collision, quantum foam, and so on. We haven't tested them yet however we WILL actually test some in the next couple of decades. Not far away.

I love the way you type... speak? -is confused- On the internet, is it considered speaking or typing!!! This is one of my greatest dillemas..
π: 0 β©: 1
I would probably say speak, seeing as this is the main form of communication on the internet.
thank you, most people simply state that "I talk weird" personally I view the less modern fashions of speech as more worth it, as opposed to punctuating one-syllable statements with unclear slang. sorry, pardon my babbling
π: 0 β©: 1
It's fine. I enjoy reading a more intelligent way of speaking from time to time. It annoys me when people will type something, that in the end makes no sense, because of the poor punctuation and grammar.
