There is no such thing as plan. Everybody is responsible for their own action. If the problems of the world are created by humans, then they can be solved by humans. There is no imaginary being is coming to clean our mess. People should get over with it.
My point is that you can't prove there is a plan anymore than you can prove there is a god. For all you know, the flying spaghetti monster really is our magical overlord.
Also, how can you equate a parent letting a child touch a hot stove to learn that it's bad to something like the genocide happening in Darfur? Does that make any rational sense?

i don't hold a grudge against his followers. between the horsecrap in the bible there's a lot of wisdom. this same wisdom is also to be found though in many of the worlds religions, myths, and folklore.
i take comfort in knowing there are good and decent people in the world and i just really do not believe good and decent belong to one single religion or people i believe those things are to be found scattered among all men.
Is your relationship with God is as same as kids relationship with Santa?My relationship with God is completely separate from anything you might believe.
No. Your father is the man who married your mother.For what I know there is a God, He is our father,
No one here has said good and decent is belonging to one single religion. Where are you getting this stuff?

That one's easy - it was said earlier than America is the greatest nation because of it's Christian foundings. That's clearly not true if you believe that decent people exist outside of Christianity.

from the inability of the world's diverse religions to live in peace and acceptance of one another. from our president getting flak for acknowledging religious diversity here.
It can be solved by humans, but they won't because of the greed and corruption. It is not the plan of god; it is result of our own selfish action driven by ignorant mind.Everybody is responsible for their own actions. I agree. No one has said otherwise.
the problems of the world will hardly be solved by humans. the united nations, or any other group is not going to solve genocide in the world. No peace plan is ever going to create an atmosphere where palestinians and Jews suddenly live in peace
those two statements are not as mutually exclusive as you argue.

Did god have sex with your mother?, if not then he is not your father.and i think a lot of people here can find fault with your logic that a father is simply the man who married your mother.![]()
I'm okay with not only Jews, but also the policies of Israel.
Please enlighten me then. Why isn't Britain the greatest nation since they have long been Christian/Catholic? Why isn't Italy the greatest nation since they have Rome and the Pope?
Why not the code of Hammurabi? Sure an eye for an eye is harsh, but surely it prevented such immoral things as murder and thievery?

Give me the criteria for defining the greatest nation and I think the US will stand at the top of that list. When you look at the root cause for these things in the US I believe it will be found in our Christian founding and heritage.
I don't think that the code of hammurabi is a nation. I don't think that babylon, the empire that the code of hammurabi started out in goes into discussion of current "greatest nations" but thats just me.
and I seriously doubt that the code of hammurabi prevented murder and thievery. It may have prevented the repeated act by the guilty individual punished, but I doubt it prevented many initial acts of thievery or murder.
In a way Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. did give their lives same as the girl in front of the bulldozer. They all made their stands knowing that their was a possibility someone on the other side would want them dead yet they stood their ground and in the end each one was murdered.....The example of the woman you use is not a good one in my opinion. I have already stated that we have enough people committing suicide over the problems in Israel. If you want to effect change follow the lives of Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. These men did not commit suicide for their beliefs, yet effected great change by the way they lived. I find the woman committing suicide under a bulldozer to be a waste.

So you don't think it had anything to do with a two very large oceans giving us a strategic defensive advantage and separating us from the political wars of Europe (at the time)? Nor do you think that the Constitution is the primary driver of our greatness?
Surely a nation of Christian heritage and beliefs couldn't perpetrate something like the Trail of Tears?
You also didn't address my question as to why those other nations who long followed Christianity failed to be/remain the greatest nation on Earth.
Getting late so this is my last response for tonight. Ciao.
the trail of tears? I didn't say we were perfect. I said we were the best. If you really want to sit here and argue which countries have the worst skeletons in the closet be my guest, but I don't really think that it is a beneficial use of anyones time.
Your post sparked a rather interesting thought.
Look at all the countries around the way based on religion. Now, based on each religion, look at how those countries are doing.
How fares the average Muslim country (e.g., Iran)? The average Buddhist country (e.g. China)? The average Christian country (e.g. The US)? It's not hard to see the strata of that grouping.
Now, consider those countries without religion. You'll find these in Africa. These are among the worst countries on the planet. Yeah for no religion...![]()
Was going to actually make some post about Israel and how a feel about them but your fucks have managed to drag into some fucking religious creationism tub of shit.
