God doesn't help.  He only murders.

As long as there are two contradicting sides, there will always be violence just to prove who is righteous than the other.
Sad to hear that the safety of the innocent people are always compromised by these kind of attacks.

Understood, but millions of people have claimed to be helped by God as well and millions of people do good things in God's name. I guess I was more interested in the "God doesn't help" part?   I'm not sure its fair to blame God for humans doing something in his name, it shouldn't necessarily imply that God is the one to blame. I guess in the same token, I'm also not sure its fair to give God credit for the people doing good in God's name.

If I spent most of my days helping people but every once in a while I decided to set off explosives that killed thousands of people would you say I was a good person?

first of all how can u tell that GOD is HE/SHE? (gender?

Is God an idea that preys on our Existential Fear?

When belief systems are highly personal and diverse, they aren't dangerous movements. When they become commoditized, such as how the Roman emperor Constantine co-opted Christianity in order to raid the money of the popular movement, they are methods of mass mind control.

All people die. Some die as infants. Others live over 100.

If a person is a Jesus believer, he goes to Heaven where there is forgiveness and everlasting joy. If he is not a Jesus believer, he goes to Hell where there is everlasting punishment for the sins he committed while living here.

If God lets believers die young, they are in joy. If God lets unbelievers die young, they have fewer sins to be punished for in Hell = less everlasting punishment.

So, if God lets people die, it is for their benefit.

Same answer as my previous post.

That is life, those things happen time by time, what politicians can do with that - nothing - may be some stronger legislation

As a person who was formerly interested in some of the astute logic of the Bible such as Matthew 7 where Jesus explains that judging is mutually destructive, i.e. teaching the value of mutual love and respect, I am coming to the realization that the logical basis for the Bible is archaic.

Wouldn't a God want to liberate us from our fear, not sustain our fear as a means of control?

So the Bible claims we have nothing to fear if we fear God and all humans follow the 10 Commandments, but not only does the Bible also admit that humans can't all follow the unrealistic 10 Commandments ("we are born sinners" and "we are filthy rags") but it even says we won't know our fate until after we die and our heart (and actions) are judged at the narrow gate. This unattainable perfection is the clever psychological ploy analogous to Lotto. Something you strive for but almost never achieve.

The 10 Commandments are about needing to trust each other, e.g. that your neighbor won't covet your wife. But we are now inventing technologies that enable us to trust the untrusted.

Perhaps the entire logical basis of the Bible seems to become irrelevant? Humans need to be empowered as individuals, not corralled into collective dependence. In this way, knowledge can be maximized.

The Bible's solution to fraud is to tell you to let the thief keep it and to expect your wealth to grow wings and fly away. It tells us to seek not wealth but faith. But if our wealth is stored in knowledge as I visualize for the coming knowledge age, then it can't be stolen and knowledge is less nebulous than (analogous to Lotto) faith. If everyone seeks faith and not wealth through knowledge, then production ceases. The Bible tells us not to worry about what we will eat, for if God can feed the birds then surely we will be given food. It tells us to walk with nothing from town to town and rely on the generosity of strangers, but if all strangers become faithful and everyone is walking with nothing, then who will produce?

How did this devolve into a discussion about religion?  ... This reminds me of my last Civ5 game and how ideology/faith points had no impact on my happiness, gold, resource, or productivity levels.
