Atheists do not believe that God exists but some atheists will postulate that
God does exist for the sake of argument.
Some of these Atheists interpret the Christian doctrine of God's Omnipotence
(He is all powerful) as meaning that God not only permits, but also causes,
all human suffering. These Atheists say that Christianity demands that we say
that God causes . . .ALL. . . that comes to pass in human history and that God
is therefore morally responsible for all that comes to pass in human history.
Let us get this nailed down solid.
Atheists do not believe that God exists.
But they postulate that God exists for the sake of argument.
Many atheists say the God-That-Does-Not-Exist drowned children in the Genesis Flood.
Many atheists say the God-That-Does-Not-Exist committed genocide in the Old Testament.
How can they say this if they do not believe that God exists?
Again , , , They postulate that God does exist for the sake of argument, so they can
accuse God of being evil and accuse Him of being ultimately responsible for all that
comes to pass in human history because He is Omnipotent {all powerful} and
could have created a world free from evil, pain, suffering, and death, but He
chose not to do that, but rather chose to create the present world we have now,
so they say God is therefore ultimately responsible for everything that occurs.
Some of these Atheists say that the God-That-Does-Not-Exist is responsible for , , ,
■ bone cancer in children
■ the COVID-19 virus now raging upon the human race
■ human diseases like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's Disease, etc
■ earthquakes, mudslides, killer storms, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, etc
■ and all the other evils and suffering in the world
So?
So God either causes all things or He does not cause all things.
If God causes all things then , , ,
Worldwide every year there are thousands of good things that God
causes but no threads are ever started by Atheists celebrating those
thousands of good things God causes.
If God gets the blame for all the bad things He is said to cause, then He
also must get the credit for all the good things He causes -- if you want
to be consistent --- and you do want to be consistent, I feel certain you
do.
So if God is Omnipotent and CONTROLS and CAUSES . . .ALL . . things,
therefore all the tens of thousands of acts of kindness that occur worldwide
every year are also caused by God --- and everything else that is a good thing.
I ask these God-Causes-All-Things Atheists to join me in listing the good
things God causes, along with the bad things they say He causes.
So I have a question for atheists that DO accuse God of being evil because they
say He caused all things and is ultimately responsible for the world of suffering
we now have.
Here is the question:
God either , , ,
{1} causes all things , , ,
or He
{2} does not cause all things.
Which is it?
If you say {2} then I call upon you to STOP accusing the God of the Bible
of being evil because you picked {2} God "does not cause all things."
If you say {1} then I call upon you to START giving God credit for all the
good things God causes as well as giving God the credit for all the evil
things you say God causes ---because you picked {1} God "causes all things" , , ,
, , , and now I ask you to celebrate all the good things that God causes,
as well as all the evil things you say that God causes , , , and here are
some of those good things that God caused , , , ,
■ caused Polio to be cured.
■ caused all the love in the world
■ caused all the kindness in the world
■ caused all the empathy in the world
■ caused all the sympathy in the world
■ caused all the hospitals in the world to be built
■ caused all the charities in the world to come to exist
■ caused all the homes of people to be built
■ caused the Center For Disease Control to come to exist
■ caused the World Health Organization to come to exist
■ caused all the Super Walmart Stores and Sam's Clubs to come to exist
■ and caused every single thing that is a good thing, to come to exist
■ caused your automobiles to be made and to become yours
■ caused all the money you have, or will ever have, to become yours
■ caused your homes to be heated and cooled
■ caused all your clothes to be made and to become yours
■ caused your pets to come to exist and to become your pets
■ caused all your medicines to be made and to come to be inside your medicine cabinet
■ caused General Motors to come to exist
■ caused your cell phone to be made and to become yours
■ caused all the books in the world that you enjoy to be written
■ caused all the movies you enjoy to be made
■ caused all the music you enjoy to be made
■ caused all the warm sandy beaches you enjoy to come to exist
■ caused all the schools and universities to come to exist
■ caused the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra to come to exist
■ caused all the nursing homes to come to exist
■ caused all the retirement centers to come to exist
■ caused it to be possible for you to retire and enjoy your retirement
