Dear GOD,
In school they told us what You do. Who does it when You are on vacation? -Jane
Dear GOD,
I read the Bible. What does 'begat' mean? Nobody will tell me. Love, Alison
Dear GOD,
Are you really invisible or is that just a trick? Lucy
....
:lol:
you have to admit, some of those are adorable questions.
peace
They are profound questions.
My personal favorite:
Dear GOD,
Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident? - Norma
Funny!
And nice avatar of Odin, Alan McDougall!
Adorable! :lol:
My favourites:
Quote:
Dear GOD,
Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't You just keep the ones You have now? -Jane
Quote:
Dear GOD,
Who draws the lines around the countries? -Nan
Quote:
Dear GOD,
I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that okay? -Neil
Quote:
Dear GOD,
Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before, You can look it up. -Bruce
Quote:
Dear GOD,
I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it. -Nan
Quote:
Dear GOD,
I do not think anybody could be a better GOD. Well, I just want You to know but I am not just saying that because You are GOD already. -Charles
I may throw up.
On the other hand, all of these sound like initial questions on the path to atheism, so I'll forgive the cuteness and congratulate the intellectual rigour.
I was unsure as to whether these questions were merely supposed to be cute, or whether, in addition to being cute, they were supposed to demonstrate how even small children can make the idea of God seem both preposterous and undesirable.Quote:

So when a kid says, "How does Santa get to all the houses in the world on his own?" that's proof that Santa exists. Gotcha.Quote:

Thank-you for so eloquently putting into words what I was thinking but could not contrive myself.Quote:

I am glad I could help!Quote:

Can somebody explain something to me. A believer will try to give reasons for their feelings, albeit sometimes rather weak ones, but they at least try. Those who don't agree nearly always resort to sarcasm, ridicule, belittlement or insult. Why is this?
I try to avoid this term during discussions but, on this occassion, my conscience will not bother me for using it: Your suggestion is not true.Quote:

Of course, at times, there are occassions when humour, sarcasm and/or insults are employed but I could not bring myself to blame it on one particular belief (regardless of my own beliefs and opinions on religious issues).
I do not mind joking a little in this thread as it is not actually arguing a particular point or striving to prove anything.
