If that's Gods reasoning then he is one dumb mother fucker.

And you also will get the chance to tell him that face to face. But I suspect that you will simply be shitting yourself.

His reasons are all explained in the Bible.

This is a excerpt from a book written by Ray Comfort. I pulled this book out last night and it made me think about this thread.

Many years ago, I ran a children's club. At the end of the club I told about 100 kids to line up for some candy. There was an immediate rush, and the line sorted itself into what I saw as being a line of greed. The bigger, selfish kids were at the front, and the small and timid ones were at the back. I then did something that gave me great satisfaction. I told the kids to turn about face. Everyone did. Then i told them to stay where they were, I took great delight in going to the other end of the line and giving the candy to the smaller, timid kids first.

In a world where the rich get richer, and the poor get stomped on, we are informed that God has gone to the other end of the line with the message of everlasting life (I know that you may not believe in the existence of God, but please bear with me). Here is what we are told:
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness...For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent....But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yes and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are; That no flesh should glory in his presence (1 Corinthians 1;18, 19, 27-29).

How has God gone to the other end of the line? Simply by choosing that which is foolish, weak, base, and despised. Let me illustrate what He has done.

Do you believe that the following biblical accounts actually happened?
- Adam and Eve
- NOAH'S ARK
- Jonah and the whale
- Joshua and the walls of Jericho
- Samson and his long hair
- Daniel and the lions den
- Moses and the red sea

If you're and athiest, of course you dont. To you, believing such fantastic stories would mean that you would have to surrender your intellectual diginity. Who would in their right mind would ever do that? The answer is simply Those who understand that God has chosen foolish, weak, base, and despised things of the world to confound those who think they are wise.

Well, there you have it folks. God told us to line up and then turned us around. It all makes sense now. God only likes the weak, despised and retarded. Why didn't I think of that before? I now believe in every fairytale I have ever been told. Thanks.

I did not post this to make you believe only to address the topic of the thread and why some of us (Christains) believe what we do.

Yeah, I'm sure you speak for every Christian that is out there. Isn't Pride one the seven deadly sins?

I did not say I speak for every Christian out there, I only took an excerpt from a Christian author......did I offend you in some way?

You didn't offend me... religion offends me though... I shouldn't even say that... How about this, People's inability to deal with there own mortality to the point of creating religions to compensate offends me. Nothing personal.

You said you weren't speaking for every Christian out there, but I was going off of what you wrote, "...and why we (Christains) believe what we do." It just sounded like you were saying you know what every Christian believes.
