Atheist Bible Study

Today's Lesson:

Rev 4:11 -- Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

So if all things were created for God's pleasure then that means he created evil, disease, pain and every other misery causing thing for his pleasure. Why would an "all loving father" create such suffering for his pleasure?

This is the kind of thing you have to ignore to be a believer. They would insist that I'm interpreting it wrong but I see no other way to interpret it. It seems pretty clear.

Genesis 3:5 "For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

For "homo sapian" to be like god they increase their conceptual knowledge to be higher than that of a lesser intellegent capable monkey.

Isaiah 45:7 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

The "Lord" creates evil.

All loving "father". if your neighbor has children, he might be an all loving father to his children but if your children were to go next door he might seem mean doing evil things to get them off of his property.

The Bible is not to be used with logic. Just like it says on the bleach
, not to be used internally. LOL

The Bible says it flatly which is out of the ordinary for its cryptic scriptures.

Isaiah 45:7 King James Version (KJV)

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

The reaon according to the bible for evil and suffering is that god created it. As a fundamentalist my church accepted this and justified it by saying that God gives us trials and tribulations for our benifit. Yeah 2 month old babies get cancer and die so god can help other people according to the theology I was taught. Also, I was taught that it was actually good and that we were simply too feeble minded to understand.

Hurting people is wrong and immoral. God is no exception to the problem of evil.
