"God can't just answer every prayer and suddenly give you everything you want. That takes all the living out of life. If God answered all our prayers, there'd be nothing left for us to do ourselves. Life is about problems, and overcoming those problems. And growing and learning from obstacles. If God just fixed everything for us, then there'd be no point in our existence."

I'm fine with Christians, but I have a lot more respect for the ones that take responsibility for themselves. I also think it a bit wiser to believe in a "hands-off" kind of God, as opposed to an interventionist.
just my opinion, btw

Fucking hell, those starving African children should really learn to grow and learn from their obstacles shouldn't they...
God couldn't possibly fix things for them

God has given the world enough food to feed the starving Africans. If enough countries collaborated, we could feed all of Africa. But the world as at odds with itself, so that doesn't happen.

heck all it takes is one developed country to solve all of africas problems.

Also, much of the reason for conflict is disagreement over religion.

Correction: We have AS HUMANS produced enough to feed everyone.
However God has not helped in any way to help.

Without God our food wouldn't grow. We can only produce it because He allows it to be produced.

no, food grows because it's a lifeform and is made up of molecules and the light from the sun and water in the soil allows them to live
User avatar #9332 to #9329 - jokeface (02/05/2013) [-]
Yes, and God created them that way.

Why?

Says who?
User avatar #9335 to #9333 - jokeface (02/05/2013) [-]
Says our ancestors, and we believe them through faith.

Many Africa Children are dead even before there is a chance for worldly intervention.

Infant mortality is one of the greatest plagues of Africa. Your excuse making is disrespectful to the continent and it's problems. There are congenital diseases of which human intervention can do nothing. Your postulations stand no ground at all when you see the congenitally ravaged victims of AIDS or Leukemia. If you wish to say this is the will of God, then you are sick. If you wish to say it isn't, then your God is heartless or incompetent. And if you wish to say he has given resources for us to fix it, then no. Even if we do find cures in the future, there are millions who have fallen at the hands of congenital disease.

I stand by my point. We could find cures as well.

Excellent point.

"You don't believe in me, even though I gave you no reason to, and I'll make you suffer for eternity"
