It means you don't know whether to believe God exists or not , because no existence proves either way.I'm not sure what Agnostic is.

Hmm...interesting. Thanks for letting me know!It means you don't know whether to believe God exists or not , because no existence proves either way.

I don't know. God gave us a mind and free will for a reason. Without those, how boring would life be!There is no rational reason to state that a God or Gods exist. If there still happens to be a God, and that God is omnipotent, then he/she/it can surely be said to be abusive.
With a truly omnipotent God, a God who has made the laws of physics and logic, there could have been a world with both the «fun» derived from free will and simultaneously a world without the absolute cruelty suffered by many humans today and historically. Yet, this «God» opted for a cruel world, and for many this suffered cruelty is deprived of meaning both for themselves and for others.I don't know. God gave us a mind and free will for a reason.

In life, good things sometimes requires sacrifices to be made. In this case along with free will comes the sacrifice of the goodwill of some.
Sure, but there may have been limits within which God must operate. And God may not have been aware of or considered or heck even been able to consider all things that could possibly go wrong. For example technological advances are man-made, yet contribute to global warming. Did God know about that?

If God had operational limits, then it follows that he is not omnipotent. If God was not able to predict all future consequences of the world he created, then it follows that he is not omniscient. Both of these deficiencies deviates from at least the biblical God.Sure, but there may have been limits within which God must operate.

I tend to agree.If God had operational limits, then it follows that he is not omnipotent. If God was not able to predict all future consequences of the world he created, then it follows that he is not omniscient. Both of these deficiencies deviates from at least the biblical God.
Although there's nothing to **PROVE** God to be omnipotent etc.I tend to agree.
Or that such an entity even exists.Although there's nothing to **PROVE** God to be omnipotent etc.
Well stated. As a Christian I know there's God. He is the creator of the universe snd oversee the affairs of men. He is so merciful and can never be an abusive GodGod is merciful and kind. I don't think he is abusive as he is ever loving to his children. Just keep to his words and everything will always work out fine.
Yes, pretty much.Bet ya'll probably think I'm full of sh_t.
Yes, pretty much.
Let me get this straight. So you did an experiment that proves the existence of God? A scientific experiment with quantifiable evidence that others can re-create? If not, then it isn't proof.I know for sure experientially that God exists
