Where was god?

[Donray]

17 children killed and where was God? Nowhere. Parys did nothing.

It is like Christians say, God does nothing to interfere. Prays for anything are never answered.

Why do you assume God wasn't there? Since the world gives power to Satan, how can God do anything about it?

So Satan ties the hands of God, does he? I don't recall the Creed mentioning this other God - just the three: Father, Son, Spirit. But to answer your question, God can empty the Red Sea, flood the Earth and make man from mud. But his omnipotent finger cannot be used to answer the simple cry: "Help."

If one asked Satan for asistance, would he oblige?

It's not Satan per se whose hands are tied. It's the sin people commit that tie God's hands. Since the world gives power to Satan, what can God do?

Those are OT stories which I don't believe in. The flood and creation story are from pagan sources.

You are used to Christian theology, Claire's is Sumerian.

lol, a God blamer, did you thank God that you are still alive ? or that you have died screaming with cancer ?
We all have choices and free will, so use it and stop following those who would have doomed to hell for eternity..
GOD already knew that you would blame Him and yet, you still live ?

,, you did not complain when God gave up His Son, to die in our place .. We are responsible fr we each do not God..
The good ole " blame God for everything " issue..when something GOOD happens nothing is said about God right ?

A few issue with that whole "God gave up his son" thing:

It was an abominable act and completely unnecessary. If God is the ultimate being and arbiter of all things, he did not require any such act of atonement. Besides, it changed nothing.

God did not give up his son. Within a few hours of the alleged death of Jesus, he was up and around good as new. No loss. No sacrifice. It might have carried some weight if Jesus had stayed dead, but he didn't.

People who do not believe in your God do not blame him for anything. What is most striking about him is that he actually appears to do absolutely nothing. So much for infinite love.

When did you receive the gift of reading God's mind? Did you see Satan laugh and walk away? Or are you just making up stuff that allows you to maintain the fantasy that such beings actually exist? They don't.

It's necessary to remind you that no one blames a being that they do not believe actually exists. You really need to ask yourself why the God you believe in does nothing.
