Emotional Spreading

So you belong to a mob of Christians?
I'm not saying there isn't a God here...I'm just saying God is. He is not an Islamic God or a Buddhist God or a Greek God for that matter. In any case He certainly is not a he. Just God.

but what puzzles me is where this negativity stems from. if a larger portion of society spreads peace and happiness, how does this negativity and hatred survive? where does it come from?

"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"

The religious mob in the Western world which we are mostly exposed to is surely Christianity?

""No words""

what is your point in saying that there are a lot of christians. i dont understand?

Doubtful. There is a large difference in people who claim to be Christians and those who truly are. More likely it is Catholicism.

"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"

Language rears its head. Interpretation steers away source. This is going to revert down an alley of denominations and sects. How many shall we go through. Which Bibles; which translations; Greek, Latin, Englsih? The dead sea scrolls.

Which denominations:

Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox Church Anglican Communion, Assemblies of God, Ethiopian Orthodox Church Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh-day Adventist Church, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, United Methodist Church, New Apostolic Church, etc. all gets a little bit daunting!

Truth is 'out here'

""No words""

Because there are many possibilities do we simply choose that they all be correct to avoid doing any real truth seeking?

"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"

Real truth seeking is trying to know as much as you can.

""No words""

So, how is it that religious people can so easily say that God created everything, but God did not create evil?

"The Greatest Enemy of Knowledge is Not Ignorance, It is the ILLUSION of Knowledge. Stephen Hawking"

delusion denial forcefed beliefs?

God did not create evil although He gave Lucifer free will to create it.

"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"

See, I could laugh for hours if it weren't so tragic and dangerous.

Oh, and God did not give Lucifer free will, ever. Its a standing contradiction, he is an angel, angels were not endowed with souls or free will. But somehow they still managed jealousy and rebellion, beyond his control or apparent knowledge no less, go figure.

God is all powerful, but cannot create a boulder he cannot lift.

God created everything, yet there are things not accredited to him as their creator, including himself.

*cough* bullshit *cough*

Gee, that's not nearly as subtle when typed.

"The Greatest Enemy of Knowledge is Not Ignorance, It is the ILLUSION of Knowledge. Stephen Hawking"

If you were all powerful could (or would) you build a boulder that you couldn't lift?

I have answered this before rhetorically:

is God not the boulder?
