    Jesus will soon return and take his chosen. I personally doubt that list will include me because while i think “god” may exist i dont think he pays attention to or really cares about us. He is just playing World of Tanksor something

      I prefer this quote because, IMHO, a god does not exist…

      “Is god willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god?”

      -Epicurus

        Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

        This part is quite scary when you think about it. If he did exist, and was able and willing to help, but he didn’t consider anything the world was doing as even a blip on his radar, what horrors are yet to come?

      If God was truly benevolent, why did he allow all those kids to die in Sandy Hook & Uvalde, as well as allowing toddlers to starve to death across the entire country of Sudan?

        Because there is no God. If there’s something out there, it’s not benevolent. Reality is far more than what we understand even in physics. Just read up on Roger Penrose but moreso, I don’t think there is any sway towards good or evil. Existence is just this.

        Behind me, I heard the same man asking:

        “For God’s sake, where is God?”

        And from within me, I heard a voice answer:

        “Where is He? This is where – hanging here from this gallows…”
