I will customer service if I find a missing puzzle piece and someone will talk to me. Give me the customer service number for your god.
I would say, NOPE. I want proof before excepting any belief in any god or gods. About 10 years ago, I sat down read the entire bible, front to back, every page, and at the end went, yup this is all bullshit. just saying
" fuck off with that shit"
.
. You asked ?
i'd say something similar of i lacked the will to beat them with evidence. however, i understand you position.. maybe you are fed up with their shit about god just like i am!
I don't bother debating fictions.
This is goofy, but easy to understand if you are brainwashed.
There is physical proof that the puzzle co. exists. Show me the physical proof that god does, without relying on a leap of faith that s/he created everything, and we can talk. Until then, STFU and let me finish my puzzle.
A key difference here is faith vs trust. Trust is built on a history of reliability. Faith is granted ignorantly without reason. The puzzle company has a long history of creating puzzles that include all the pieces. There is also evidence that the puzzle company exists, and therefore is an entity in which you could even have trust or not. The question presupposes that the reader believes that both puzzle companies and a god exists. The latter is problematic because it requires a belief without evidence (faith). If there was a supernatural being controlling everything I wouldn’t trust it at all given all the needless diesease, disaster, and suffering it has put into its “puzzle.”
So God had a plan for everyone, right? Then why is his plan for so many to die of malnutrition in a refugee camp before they reach the age of five?
That's a pat answer that is no answer at all and is based on the unprovable assumption that there is a god. Besides, I have opened puzzle boxes that were short a piece or two, as well as other assemble it yourself products that had missing or erroneous pieces. But as an atheist, I would never be in that church listening to that pastor maundering.
Who says I "trust" the puzzle company ? If there's a piece missing from the box I can go back to the store it was purchased from or the company that made it for a replacement or refund. It's kind of hard to do that with a being that can be neither seen nor heard that only has an effect on my existence through the observations of others, namely "the faithful".
Even as a believer this makes zero sense to me.
The puzzle company made the puzzle, and supposedly god made people, so if Hasbro can be trusted to get it right, then a theist could accept that they are complete, and maybe just need to be put together. Or search under the sofa maybe? Just a guess.
