You mean to say that you think that there are some flaws in his theory that God took revenge on Lennon by engineering an assassin by:
- putting him in an abusive childhood;
- making sure he was bullied at High School so that he dropped out;
- ensuring he became a born again Presbyterian so he understood the purpose and context of the mission he was chosen for;
- saved him from his attempted suicide by sabotaging the hosepipe and got him regularly sacked from a variety of jobs finally driving him to alcohol abuse to ready him for his task.
Why you can't see this plain truth is beyond me!
Your assumption is based on this life being the entire scope of life, also God handing out illness and disaster. Neither of these are true.
Christ didn't ask us all to become spiritual, He wants us to be honest about ourselves, our plight and our inability to redeem ourselves.
God certainly didn't need a hit-man, as you may recall a similar situation we addressed with Mike Dickin, who set up a three hour program to mock Christians and their faith and in that program said if he met God then he'd have a few things to say to him. His wish was granted within 24 hours. No hit man or tragic life story required for his killer.
If God allowed all the evil men planned to happen, then we would all be in permanent lockdown :xmassherlock:
Nah, I don't thonk that the billions of people who have ever lived on the Earth exist elsewhere, whether it be your hell or your heaven - and only a minority ever believed in your god and in your particular brand thereof. Evidence seems to indicate that Homo Sapiens evolved around 3,000 years ago and way before your fairy stories were ever thought of and written down. Your god has been spectacularly successful in getting over only the tiniest sliver of humanity to escape the worst come Judgement Day.
You think that people 2,000 years ago (and let's also remember that the books in the Bible were collated, edited and amended by human beings) have the answers for everything when they had no idea about DNA, atoms, gluons, muons, plate tectonics, blood groups, electricity, what caused lightning, radio signals, the speed of light, radiation, genetic mutation, evolution etc etc. On the other hand, we are expected to believe about people supposedly being turned to salt, water being turned into wine, Eve being created from Adam's rib, a talking donkey, a virgin birth, the existence of Nephilim, Enosh living over 900 years, demons being driven out of Mary Magdalen etc etc etc.
They had no idea about the science that could result in motorised vehicles, aircarft, computerisation, space travel, MRI scans, x-rays, transplants, televison, nuclear power, photography, modern medicine, innoculation, chemotherapy, GPS and a lot else.
They didn't even know the full extent of our own planet as regards all the continents that existed.
It's very difficult to understand how intelligent people in the 21st century can believe in such myths...... but indictrination is an incredible thing.
I agree with you, but Homo Sapiens evolved about 250-300,000 years ago (you missed a few '0's).
And Neanderthals were around from about 450,000 to 40,000 years ago - with a lot of evidence of interbreeding with Homo Sapiens - so even longer before the period of the shamans and mystics whose supposed words Truthpaste loves to 'quote' at us.
