If this is true then how do you explain war, murder..etc...why doesn't "God/Superior Being" just stop it...I think he knows everyones' intentions because he only lives in their minds.Quote:

Well, God doesn't stop certain things because he knows what he is doing. ;) (ie: if '9/11' never happened in US, their security would be very low (most likely) now, that wouldn't be good.)

So it doesn't make sense that a parent would do that even if he/she "knows what he/she is doing"

They were his 'children' (Adam/Eve,) but they decided otherwise. :o

In light of this, IMHO it is really unfair to blame God for all these sufferings we are experiencing. It is not good on our part to say that God "knows what he's doing". When you say that, its like saying he's responsible for all the misery humankind have and is still experiencing... when that's not even the case. But if he does exist, why does he permit these things?
That is what I was asking thecomputerprogrammer...I guess he left the forum.Quote:
