The God Debate v2

[TheRealAussie]

I decided that it would be best to open up this topic for discussion again.

Let this thread contain civil discussion on the existence of God without starting any sort of flame.

No, I'm not gonna say why as I feel it might cause some flame, but this is my opinion so please don't hate it, but yeah, I don't believe in God.

 

[SniperSnakez]

Well, you don't have to believe. Cause hes right here.

Ok don't reply with a lot of flame, but modern religion is a way to keep people in line, and my social studies teacher was surprised when I was the only one that answered that. [He was looking for that]

I don't believe that there is some sort of godly being that controls everything, who is awesome right? If god is so great, then why are there bad people in the world, why is there disease, why is there war?

I really believe in GOD every single Sunday I go to Church at 10:00am

From what I was taught at a Catholic School, this stuff happens because God allows for free will.

There is no such thing as a perfect world. If it was, everyone would be lazy. No one would show appreciation for what they have in their life. Have you seen The Giver? It is about an attempt to recreate a Utopian society, but in the end it took all emotion away from everyone. Even if god was real, I'm not sure it would be possible to make life perfect. (I might not necessarily believe in god, but I do know that a perfect society is just not possible)
