What cruel monster could be responsible for the death of millions?

[hypodermicjew]

God, just read the bible. Probably the #2 reason I don't beileve in a christian god.

The death of one person is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic - joesph stalin

However I'm still debating with myself wheather or not there is a higher being. On one hand there is the big bang theroy, but how could the universe just be??? Discuss

People choose to kill

to cause pain

The way that God helps is by aiding in the afterlife, not this one

We are trapped inside this universe in all dimensions including time. We have absolutely no way to probe outside of this universe. How the hell do you think we can even begin to explain why it's here? The big bang theory only tries to explain what happened from a moment after the bang to present, I don't think we'll ever have a theory to explain why our universe is here. You just have to have faith that it exists from the fact that you believe you live in it every day.

No, he fucks over most people in the afterlife as well.

It's more likely that the Universe would "just be" than that God would "just be" and then create the Universe.

Probability mathematics rocks.

I hate people who say that the only way to explain the universe, is if God created it. I've seen loads of threads started here, stating just that. It really pisses me off.

What you just said is so true. If people think the only way the universe could exsist, is if God created it, then there logic is seriously flawed!

They think that the universe would be much harder to start out on it's own, than God. Explain the logic behind that?!

God is supposed to be this great being that can do ANYTHING! Now logically wouldn't that have been harder to have started out, than a universe supposedly created by said being?

God didn't start out, he was always there.

Obviously.

Basic probability maths demonstrates that you cannot increase a likelihood by introducing an extra layer of (im)probability.

That is to say, the probability of two events happening in conjunction is always less than the probabilities of the individual events.

It's more likely that the Universe would exist than that God AND the Universe would exist.

Fact.

Wrong. It also explains how the bang might've occured. Here is a simple explanation of one way it might've happened.
