Why ?. The burden of proof lies with those making the claim not with those refuting it. I have yet to see any evidence for the existence of any gods.

Moravian comments on Jul 8, 2019:

The simple answer is :- This question is frequently asked by skeptics of God, the Bible, Christianity, etc. If God can create a rock that He cannot lift, then God is not omnipotent. If God cannot create a rock so heavy that He cannot lift it, then God is not omnipotent. According to this argument, omnipotence is self-contradictory. Therefore, God cannot be omnipotent. So, the question, could God create a rock so heavy He could not lift it? The quick answer is "No." But the explanation is far more important to understand than the answer... But Pedrohbds gives a much fuller answer.

Some "experts" think we have very little and are at mercy of our genetic makeup whist others think we have the ability to do as we please. A sort of nature/nurture debate.

Has anybody dealt with a passive aggressive partner?

Moravian comments on Jul 2, 2019:

I have heard this expression so much recently and I was never sure exactly what it meant so I looked up a definition as follows -:" passive aggressive behaviour takes many forms but can generally be described as a non-verbal aggression that manifests in negative behaviour. It is where you are angry with someone but do not or cannot tell them. Instead of communicating honestly when you feel upset, annoyed," Now I am sure I am going to be shot down here but in my experience women are more likely to .exhibit this type of behaviour than men. Eg the man comes home from work and gets a frosty reception because of some slight, real or imagined and he has no idea what he has done whereas the man is more likely to be overtly aggressive in words or actions..

An obscure middle eastern tribe are chosen by the creator of the universe to be his chosen people and he then helps them to defeat their enemies and take over lands he promised to them. Actually a polytheistic tribe adopt monotheism whilst in exile in Babylon, possibly taken from Zoroaster and they then use this adopted god to justify their warlike acquisitive behaviour
