Is it God's fault or the psycopathic maniacs who sniffed way too many bottles of glue and have no sense of morality that baby's are killed?
Those baby's deaths will be avenged one day and they are in a way better place than this world that we have to wade through without getting shot by random gunmen.
Anyway, here's my theory. Think of eternity as a circle, right? A circle has no beginning and end. In eternity everything basically happens simulataneously. God dwells in eternity and when he made us he created time which flows in sequence. He never sleeps. I think he has a sense of humour but i do not think he stops watching over us, not even for second. We make or choices and choices have consequences, whether good or bad.
If you dont agree with me, fine. I'm just stating my opinion and belief.
Plus, i think i'd rather live as if there is a God and find out that there isn't.
Than live as if there isn't a God and find out that there is.

PinkDawg The_Fourth_Username My "God is Asleep" Theory Or, "Even if There is a God We're ******** Anyway" But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 2 Peter 3:8 Being an avid reader of science and of religious materials I have formulated a theory of God and why he doens't seem to have been present in the world for a long long time. Scientifically the age of the Earth is guessed to be about 5-6 billion years old. The Bible maintains that the Earth was created in 6 days. Many people have suggested that a "day" to God may be more than the 24 hour period that we humans have designated. So let's say that a day to God is a billion years. This way Christians and science can be in harmony. Now if you read the Old Testament, you'll see that plenty of people got to speak to God, or at least an incarnation of God. Abraham, Solomon, Job and Moses to name a few. Then Jesus came along and he was God. And as far as I can tell nothing since. Or at least anyone who has claimed to have spoken directly to God since then has generally been burned at the stake or had tanks come and shoot fire into their compound. So Jesus was the last time God has been seen in the world. Since he spoke to people we can also say that is the last time God has spoken to anyone in the world or been seen in the world at all. Now, the bible isn't clear as to when exactly the sixth day ended. But what if, and I think this makes a certain amount of sense, the day Jesus died was midnight on the sixth day for God? I mean clearly if Jesus was God he wasn't resting when Jesus was alive. Jesus walked around and preformed miracles, which I hear are very tiresome, and of course crucifixion is no picnic. So after Jesus dies, comes back and leaves again, God thinks, "Well my work there is done, all men are saved, I think I'll have a sandwich and call it a day." So he goes to take his nap. So we know that was somewhere close to 2000 years ago. The Bible seems to indicate that God is going to rest for the whole day. A day to God is a billion years. So 1,000,000,000 - 2000 = 999,998,000 years until we can expect God to wake up. Until then we're alone. Sucks doesn't it? I appreciate your theory I don't appreciate what i said in august. You can't mix with science and religion, it doesn't match. There is no way to prove anything. Me, being a believer in god, believe that he is there when he needs us, and that is that. There hasn't been an end to mankind yet, god is testing us, he is, he is.

RainJosh For no creatures under God are as we are...
There was a quote in some movie or the other, I really liked it.
"God is a kid with a giant ant hill."
Is it blasphemy to say God would want to have a sandwich and a rest?
An omnipresent being as God would not need a sandwich nor rest, would it?
...none so like him as ourselves. I don't think it would be blasphemy. Just because he wouldn't need it doesn't mean he wouldn't want it. Being God he can basically do what he wants.

I've got a question, though. Would this mean you're assuming that if the six days ended when Jesus was crucified, then God was still creating even after Jesus was born? Sure, it would make sense, but I'm just asking.
I learned something interesting in Philosophy class:
The typical Western thought of 'God' is that he's all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving.
Does this even make sense, though?

Sure, it would make sense, but I'm just asking. I learned something interesting in Philosophy class: The typical Western thought of 'God' is that he's all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving. Does this even make sense, though? We learned about the same conundrum in my Philosophy of Religion class, too. 3nodding The argument goes something like... If God is all-knowing, he knows evil exists. If God is all-powerful, he can eradicate evil if he chooses. If God is all-loving, he would want to eradicate evil. So, why is there evil? Most philosophers (at least, the ones we discussed in class) agree that in order to reconcile the western idea of God, you'd have to get rid of one of those three qualities: all-powerful, all-knowing, or all-loving. All three seem impossible to exist if you believe there is evil in the world. And if you don't believe there's evil, then what rock have you been hiding under? And don't even try to suggest that God can do the impossible. If that were true, there'd be no point in debating God's existence.

This is a very interesting theory. You can tell you sat down and actually did research on this before posting. I like how you brought science and Religion to a happy medium instead of trying to use one to disprove the other like so many others have in the past. If you have anymore theories on anything i would love to hear them. Great Job once again

You're forgetting the large possibility that God doesn't actually exist.

Danime0305 Plus, i think i'd rather live as if there is a God and find out that there isn't. Than live as if there isn't a God and find out that there is. That is a good philosophy, which is why I believe that Deity has many faces. I'm not Christian, and I believe that the Deity (which is what I refer to as 'God' since I believe differently) cannot help us all at once- I believe that with ultimate power there has to be limits, otherwise if Deity is having a bad day (i.e. Jesus getting killed, in Christianity) they could easily wipe us out. Because even in love, we occasionally want to kill each other. And we were made in Deity's image, were we not? Also, we're just amazing like that. I know that my comment might not be appreciated, since I'm not even of this religion, nor atheist, sweatdrop but I figure I could state my opinion, even if it ticks off others. xd

The bible is a teaching reference. Not law, sience or fact. It is a logically written and philosophically directed means to provide a guideline for a peaceful and intelligent society.
Somehow, people devoid of common sense, or even just imagination take things the wrong way.
Consider The baby in the basket down the river. Moses wasn't the only one. Several stories depict a similar story. It's suppose to portray that if a baby can overcome insurmountable odds, that baby has a powerful will to live. That Baby will lead a great and exemplary life.

E: Does cold exsist?
Teacher: Why yes of course it does!
E: No, cold is a lack of heat. Scientist can study heat but not cold. Does darkness exsist?
Teacher: Of course it does what type of question is this?
E: No darkness is a lack of light. Scientist can study light but not darkness. Evil is mearly a lack of God in a man's heart.
After this he sits down.
So you see its a lack of God not God sleeping!

This reminds me of a theory scientist Hugh Ross wrote about 15 years ago, except for the part about sleeping. It's a long speech though, but I don't think you'd mind being an "avid" reader(of course you can just listen to it, it includes an mp3 on the page that's what I did). Origin of the Universe
