Religion is flawed.  Because man is flawed.  God is NOT flawed.

Very cool and insightful....now go back, edit out the Christian symbols and uniforms and insert Islamic symbols and regalia. Make it VERY clear that you are commenting on SOME members of Islam.
Bet your balls aren't quite that big?......
I am not even a religious individual,  but I do find it amazing how easy it is to pick on Christianity.

I know John and I didn't mean to slap at you directly. Blame it on the Southern Comfort. My apologies. Just tired of watching the discriminatory attacks disguised as "enlightening"our "backward" brothers and sisters.

If god isn't flawed then how did he make mistakes?

Of course mythical beings that don't exist can't really be flawed...

God has to be flawed because he created mankind which is itself a race of imperfect beings.

If during the scratching you promised to never do it again, sure I'd see that as an apology.

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Sure sounds like god decided that creating man was a mistake to me. My only regrets in life are the mistakes I've made.

I think the biggest flaw is the concept that a deity's message or plan would be entrusted to humans, instead of embedding it into our DNA.

This way, we would know what was expected of us, instead of relying solely on hearsay.

So...you've never loved someone, regretted loving them, yet did not and still do not consider loving them to have been a mistake?

You believe in worship a god that is a mass murderer. That's definitely not funny!

Nope. And I certainly didn't kill them because I didn't love them anymore.

Oh that's right they aren't dead they have eternal life in hell...right?

So he's a mass torturer not a mass murderer.

Since people killed don't die then what was the sacrifice that Jesus made? He didn't die according to your link.

But if you're going to use that excuse for god killing everyone then is dying a sacrifice if you know you'll be resurrected and taken to heaven for eternal life? Doesn't sound like "sacrifice" to me.

lol For real. I couldn't even get past the first few before I was bored with the lack of artistic work so I didn't even bother going down the whole page.

And were they trying to be comical? If so they failed at that also big_smile

I am not religious however that was grasping at straws with that one.

I lost interest after about the third cartoon.

It was like reading the anti-Christian version of The Family Circus.

The torture is the shame and dishonor they have freely chosen.

God forces no one to love Him.
God forces no one to be with Him who does not wish to be.

I didn't use any excuse.
A creator has the right to do with his creation as he pleases.
Does he not?

As for the rest of your frenetic sentences, physical death is still physical death regardless of our spiritual state.

Would you willingly be drowned, knowing that we have the technology and procedures to resuscitate you?
Would you willingly have your arm broken knowing that we can splint it and make it all better?

As for being taken to heaven, heaven is coming to us.

here too's another way to look at the situation; just as incorrect but, nonetheless a way to look at things.

The watchmaker theory?...when you see a complex mechanical device, say a watch (not digital for the sake of argument) is it more logical to believe that someone manufactured the components then assembled them in a meticulous fashion so that it could properly function for years..or is it more logical to assume it is the result of a primordial soup that "just happened" to result in a watch?...then how much more so the universe as a whole?...

Bear in mind, I am not particularly religious, am schooled in logic, and really don't give a shit about organized religion...just asking a question.

The cartoon in the OP seems to equate Catholics with Christians. To Christians, that's an insult. Christians follow the teachings of Christ and the Bible. Catholics...well...they have their "own thing" going and most don't even believe or act according to the teachings of their faith which is not in accordance with the Bible or the teachings of Christ, in a number of instances.

In Genisis 1, he doesn't seem to think so..
26 ¶And God said, Let aus bmake cman in our dimage, after our elikeness: and let them have fdominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own aimage, in the image of God created he him; male and bfemale created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be afruitful, and bmultiply, and creplenish the dearth, and subdue it: and have edominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 ¶And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for ameat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for ameat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very agood. And the evening and the morning were the bsixth day.
It is the actions of man, with FREE will that then becomes not good.....might explain socialism (remove free will solve the problem)...lol
