This is why I KNOW there is not a God!

Fucking idiots wrap a three year old boy in tape and a blanket and leave him in a closet to die a slow death while they go to a family reunion.

hahaha fucking idiots...

whats there to hahaha about???

I hope those fuckers would also suffer that same agony before they die.

damn that sucks

OMG! That's sick!!

Personally I would think that this would be more indicitive of why I know that Evil is way more prevelant in people than a faith in GOd.:2 cents:

just more reason why i do believe in God, i believe his soul is now in peace and protected, i truly believe in final judgement, i am not saying heaven or hell.

the worst thing man can do is try to explain God it is so far beyond what we are even capable of.

the fact that you feel bad for him just shows there is most likely a God.

good and evil are a universal force.

Fucking sick fucks!:(

No, No, No, if God hears you talkin like that he gonna have good reason to whip you good..........

you make an interesting comparison then decide not to respond, remind me not to put in any effort next time. :disgust

And that is my home town (and Larry Flynt's).

Cincinnati, Ohio.

Yeee-haaw.

they deserve to die a long slow painfull death

What does mans inhumanity to man have to do with god? I've never understood why people blame "god" for the evil we do to ourselves?

I tend to think the fact that we feel bad for the tortured little boy just shows there are still a few good people among us who care.

Doesn't point towards any sort of higher power.

Believing that his soul is now "in peace and protected" is all fine...but how can one love a so-called benevolent god that allows such things to happen to an innocent and handicapped child in the first place?

Sorry...but I have no desire to even try to understand or explain a god in this context.

I am against the death penalty but cases like this makes me reconsider.

"A grand jury indicted the couple Monday on charges of involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment, and David Carroll, 35, on a charge of gross abuse of a corpse."

They're foster parents. Why bring a child into your home if you're going to treat it like that? Why isn't the charge second degree murder? I bet they get no more than 2 years. Karma doesn't exist unfortunately either.

There is but one true god and his name is Archiot. He is the robotic savior and through his mechanical touch he shall deliver you from sin. He created all that there is and ever will be through careful mechanical manipulation of the Megasphere. The Megasphere is comprised of thirteen Unispheres (what is the closest thing you could call a Universe), and each Unisphere is made up of thousands of Ultraspheres; each Ultrasphere is then comprised of millions upon millions of Superspheres. Finally, each Supersphere is filled with trillions upon trillions of singular Uni (One life force, no matter how big or small, is equivalent to one Uni).

We on Earth are on just one tiny insignificant sphere in one tiny insignificant part of this Supersphere (quadrant 7ZX-92891-4), yet we as Unis each add up to the greater whole that is the Megasphere, and thusly in our own way, add to the perfection that is Archiot. Archiot?s goal isn?t for him to be an omnipotent force in our lives but rather to show us the way to robotic enlightenment through the mechanical manipulation of our everyday surroundings. Only through Archiot are we able to achieve this higher state of being. Once achieved, we are able to ascend beyond the spheres themselves and we can then manipulate the Megasphere along with our Lord.

He was already disabled... and they had to go and do that to him?

Fuck.

This right here is why god put you on earth so you will be thankfull when you go to heaven. If he just put you in heaven right off the bat then you would not know how to act and then you would go stright to hell. God is giveing you a chance you can take it or leave it it's your choice. Their has to be a god it is up to you to figure out what this means. Don't be stupid.. :)

thats so fucked up, they should be left in a closet til they are dead.

Let's see... two idiot adults mistreat an innocent kid enough to cause his death and that somehow equates to there being no God?

Hmmm

I would think that people would WANT there to be a God in light of this. Why? Because scripture indicates that at some point in the future, assholes like these two "foster parents" will have to stand before him and answer for the shit they pulled.

Now wouldn't that be fun to watch? :D

you cannot look up to God as a protector, you know you have free will, wheteher or not you think God gave that to you it is up to you to decide, and ovviously believe in no God.

that is fine i respect your belief but try to understand mine, i think God is there to protect the innocent in a time of death, i feel a soul inside me, i can feel a driving force of good and evil in the world.

i do not try to explain it because i am merely a human, but it does not mean i do not believe in a God.

Answer me this - what "chance" did your god give to that little boy?

I'm sure that disabled kid feels blessed for being born disabled only to be tied up until he died. Oh how considerate of God.

That's some fucked up shit... How can anyone do that to a child? Eye for an eye is what I say.

Don't confuse respect and understanding. Likewise, I respect your belief...however I'll NEVER understand it. But if it works for you and helps you get past heinous and despicable acts of cruelty - hey, all the power to ya'.

I know you got a brain use it.

People aren't equating this singular story as evidence of there being no god, but rather...people are asking how a god can allow things like this to happen...and for what purpose.

And not to equate this story with, say...the tragedy of 9/11 - but a lot of people seem to be questioning god's existence since that day, too.

and i will never understand how people have 0 beliefes in a higher power, so you also must not confuse that.

where did i ever say it helps me get past it? it does not help anything, i just feel there is peace for the little boy.

you have no need to understand my beiefes, i in the first place did not ask you to, you questioned me, not the other way around. :2 cents:

and why do you people talk like we are the chosen people? like God in the first place has us chosen, humans are much to full of themselves and have been way to influenced away from beliefs because of religious nutjobs, draw your own beliefes, do not follow the pack on either side.

we are mere ants in this universe, blame ourselves that we even breed such evil in our society.

Ok that is so fucked up :(

And I quote... :)

Like the Metaman dude just finished telling you.... God gave us free will. I don't sit here watching all the tragic events and evil doings in the world and blame a God I don't believe in for "allowing" it to happen.

Free will means the blame for the shitty actions of humans lies with humans. Period. The argument that "if God exists why does he allow such bad things to happen" just isn't a valid one, because it's not up to him to prevent crime or put magic domes over our cities and protect us from hurricanes and floods.

And for all the sputtering being done on this board about the nonexistance of God not one person has ever posted anything other than pure opinion one way or the other. No solid irrefutable proof, just opinion.

That's why I keep my personal beleifs to myself.

what i meant was for you to understand why i may have beliefs not to understand what i believe.

if you do not get this i am not going to explain it to you.

No you haven't. You've shared your personal belief that you think man owes his free will as a gift from god.

Myself, I think our free will was born from the primordial ooze and naturally developed over millions of years of evolution.

Excuse me for not living on GFY and having business to do!


1. Would a loving God allow children to suffer like this? I don't think so. Maybe adults, but not children.

2. Open you Bible to Exodus 20:13. Now compare that to what happens in Hosea 13:16. Do you see a contradiction? Last I heard, ripping unborn babies out of their mothers' stomachs was murder. And the Hosea verse was "commanded by God".

Then maybe they should get off their lazy fucking asses to read and study the bible cause it's in there as to why he allows shit to happen.

My Clarica agent is on holidays this week. Solo...I must be slow on the uptake.

Interestingly, man was the writer and publisher in said work.

Enlighten us, oh insightful one. I was raised in church all my life (my father was a pastor), had to memorize numerous scriptures, and still have not heard a good reason why bad things happen.

This explains A LOT.

yes lets blame God for everything, i just spilt some gatorade on my shorts and there is no Tide left, if God lovedd me he would have filled the Tide.

your argument is just as stupid as this.

why do you bring up the bible when you talk about God? are you to stupid to draw your own conclusions?

and i do not care what you are doing, you obviously make a thread like this to get responses, you were probably eating, and yes gaining calories is your own business.

do you blame god for being overweight also?

They'll be right there beside you in hell, CD Smith, if the Bible tells the truth. You see, people put levels on sin. The Bible says God can't look on sin at all. Pornographers and child murders will share equally in the "weeping and wailing and knashing of teeth". So, if the Bible is true you'll have a first hand view of what happens to them from about a foot away in hell's fires.

word to idiots out there who also think like this:

did you choose what shirt you wore today?
then choose your own beliefs, you do not have to fit into a certain religion.

Hey moron, look at the time this thread was started. Do you think I was waiting around until 4 and a half hours later (when you wrote your first post in this thread) waiting to see what MetaMan had to say? Are you really that retarded?

You need to look to other religions, not the long term ones who's preachings are "questionable" due to their history...

And as a side note... The bible is clear about "why" god allows this to happen... but... the question then becomes is god really as benevolant as everyone claims he is. You yourself raised that issue in one of your posts.

Why do you feel the need to toss out personal insults here? Are you incapable of making a civil, rational and constructive debate? Usually insults are the last resort of someone in over their head in a discussion.

What's your point??? It all comes down to a matter of faith.. If you "believe", then you believe that man wrote it under the divine "guidance" of god and thus is "accurate". If you don't believe then there's no need having any religious discussions.
