It's a common question amongst humanity: Why is there suffering? No reason just because, or it has a reason and serves a bigger Purpose? I found solace in that last one.

Guys, I don't think you should argue with Siquo about this part, quite frankly. Arguing against a personal belief he found solace in just because you disagree doesn't reflect well on you, unless you have good reasons for doing it. Especially as long as it's a rather inoffensive belief, such as saying "there might be a bigger purpose to things".

The whole idea that things happen on purpose is very iffy though.  I mean, this god would have had to allow millions of people to die in the holocaust, those of which claimed alliance with such a god, for the purpose of proving a point?  That's just one example.  I'm not sure any point is that grave.

[Areyar]

I don't agree.
"because it makes me feel good" is not absolute proof but a personal feeling.
As a personal reason to agree to something illogical, that is fine.
Just don't try use it as an argument in a discussion where you claim to be logical.

Also, this thread is about belief and unbelief, why not attack belief because it is personal, especially when not-attacking is seen as agreeing.

Lack of proof does not = the lack of a thing.  that's a logical fallacy.  evidence simply does not exist in one way or another to disprove or prve that statement.

And it's also logically fallacious to consider something true despite a lack of evidence.

Did you hear me claim that it was so because of lack of evidence?  No, I did not.  In fact I said evidence does not exist to prove OR disprove a god.  I never said he exists because of the lack of evidence.  like you said, that's a fallacy and silly.

[G-Flex]

That's not what I said. I said it's fallacious to believe in something despite a lack of evidence, not because of a lack of evidence.

[masam]

Ah ok, sorry for misinterpreting that.

Do you mind telling me which logical fallacy that is?

'S a good point, actually. I'm riding a bike and I try to scratch my back and I just end up flipping into a heather bush. Your plan for creation seems a bit iffy too. I could proofread if you like.

Because apparently creation was boring, we all use the bonyfish template.
Because I wouldnt get any work done.
Because lobstoids are tasty, thus that immortality is not worth much.

edit: Oh wait! I am no longer GOD.
so....why can't you use google? if you are omnipotent, why would you need to ask?

And would it have killed ya to have given us prehensile tails? Also, possibly, heat vision?

[Jreengus]

You know extra eyes would have been useful, 4 pairs each facing at 90 degrees, no more walking into each things. Possibly a fifth pair facing straight up to avoid hitting my head as I stand up.

[suspicion] Sounds like a die to me. I'd expect an omniscient being to know that sort of thing.
