Apparently because it's true.

So then, if the truth is that everything is bad everywhere, what does that say about god? Actions speak louder than words and existence is the basic action.



Says it's going as it's written. Adam and Eve sinned as Satan made them think they could be like god and choose for themselves what was right and wrong. God could have killed them all and started over but it raised the question "could mankind do better on their own?" Since there were a whole host of angles in observance if he had just killed them and started over it wouldn't have answered the question and proved whose rule was better.

So mankind was allowed to govern themselves. Has it been better than what man had in the garden of eden or worse? Mankind has tried every form of government and nothing has worked. Today we have the highest numbers of sickness, death, poverty. Over the last 100 years more people have died in war than since the creation of human life. Because of mans treatment of the earth, since the industrial revolution, there's been a 2000% increase in natural disasters. Etc etc.

Because it is very easy to speak in a united fashion about something you disagree with, but it is much more difficult to agree on a feasible alternative and speak about that.

You see the same with all the backseat politics analysts on forums such as d2jsp: People hate on anything that has even the slightest disadvantages, but hardly ever come up with any solutions.

Yes because the future is inherently unknown, even for god.

Interesting thought, because of free will?

News tends to be negative because blood draws cameras and fear sells papers.

All news should have two sections. Bad news and good news. Those who cannot stand bad news can just skip to good news and that will strengthen the illusion of a fairytale world.

Free will doesn't necessarily mean that God won't know what you will do
It just means that it is your choice
