Frequently Unanswered Questions
1. If the universe is so amazing and complicated that it MUST have had a creator, then who/what created the creator?
By your logic, if the universe is so magnificent that it had to have a creator, then the creator, who by all logic must be more magnificent that what he/she/it created, must also need a creator.
If you answer that the creator did not need a creator, then neither did the universe.
2. If god is good, why did god create evil?
If because of free will, then why did Lucifer choose to go against this "good" god? Lucifer, it may be assumed, did not use faith-- he knew that god existed. It may also be assumed that Lucifer knew that he would lose-- yet he chose to rebel? What did Lucifer know about god, that made him rebel against god, even knowing he would lose?
3. Speaking of Lucifer, if God were omnipotent/omniscient, how did the former's rebellion even happen?
4. If the Bibles truth is blatantly evident, how is it that no two christians will agree on its meaning? (this can be mixed up to include the Torah, Qur'an etc.)
5. If Jesus' death was to redeem us from original sin, then why does Judas come off as a bad guy?
6. If the Bible is your source of morals, why do you not follow its example and keep slaves, rape, pillage and curse trees?
7. Why when I talk of the inconsistencies in scripture do you compare the accounts to that of a road accident with multiple witnesses, when these two cannot be analogous by your own admission, as you hold the Bible is inspired word?
8. Why, at Jesus' baptism, did he throw his voice into the heavens and then fly over his own head in the form of a dove?
9. If God performs miracles all the time how come he has NEVER restored an amputee's limb?
10. Is the Bible the word of God? If so, then surely you must believe ALL of it, if it's not the word of God, then why believe any of it?
If it IS the word of God, why pick and choose?
Why would Hell be a bad place? If Lucifer rebelled against God and was cast down, then surely those also opposed to God, who are also cast down wouldn't be tortured by Satan/Lucifer as Satan/Lucifer would have no need to abuse possible allies in what we can only assume must be an ongoing feud with God. The only logical answer is that Lucifer is working with the big G and therefore is NOT an evil rebellious angel but an employee and on the books. Explain please how Hell can be a bad place if it is not run by God and Lucifer evil?
11. If God really meant his promise to the Jews then why, after he gave the Jews the Torah (OT of the Bible) did he allow them not to understand the concept of original sin? You would think that one of the fundamental concepts of Christian faith and one of the earliest concepts in the bible would have been key for Moses to understand yet the Jews have no concept of original sin.
12. If God is infallible then why did he need to flood the world? In the bible it says clearly that "he was displeased with his creation". Instead of just magically making everyone *good* he murdered them instead, even the innocent animals. If God can screw up, then why worship him, or even believe that he exists? The stories in the bible prove there is no God because their logic discredits one.
13. Why didn't God foresee that Adam would get lonely and want a woman?
14. Why (and how) did God decide to preserve things like Ebola, Marsburg, Polio, Leprosy. etc...on the ark? Plus the weight of microorganisms and insects themselves would sink any ship. The ark was not physically possible. If he used magic to make it work, why didn't he use magic to just bat an eye and just put the world right without going to the trouble of flooding/murdering everything? And what happened to all the dead bodies?
15. where did Cain and Abel's wives come from? Were they their sisters?
16. Why create a human machine that is so susceptible to all manner of illnesses and disease? Surely you'd take one look at the great plague and go back to the drawing board- obviously a flaw in the design.
