How can mere mortals (us) rationalize for an all powerful and all knowing being (God)?
Maybe a plausible reason is to bring about good through evil. For example, your bad argument might bring good from it by helping someone closer to realizing God exists.

For example, your bad argument might bring good from it by helping someone closer to realizing God exists.[/quote] How did I make a bad argument? What I said was intended to point out christianity's self-contradictions. Not an argument. Also, I should point out that the only reason religeon still exists is this: [quote]Ages ago people started asking questions about the world that they didn't know the answers to. So they made up some answers that made the most sense to them. Those answers were expanded upon and passed down through the generations and some people started taking them seriously and thus religion was born.[/quote] I found that in another thread.

If not a God to explain those questions, then what? Aliens? Because it's any harder to believe in an all powerful creator than aliens? What's your point? Not to mention Jesus, who came and said "Hey I made you, follow my church" and worked all sorts of miracles to help us unbelievers.

Appeal to ignorance detected
-
Have anything real to say? If not, move along
-
Just pointing out how you used a logical fallacy
-
Does it logically make sense that we could explain the actions of our creator with perfect clarity? Can an ant explain why humans do or do not allow the ant hole to get flooded?
-
1. Ants are a terrible comparison 2. And it does make "logical" sense since we were supposedly made in his image therefore we should have some understanding of his plans.
-
We are made in His image, but we are finite creatures and not the creator. Finite can not fathom the infinite
-
This is once again still an appeal to ignorance you have not presented any evidence for the exist of your god.

Jesus said He is God. Believing takes faith. If it didn't take an effort, everyone would believe, and then it wouldn't be earning heaven but rather be given it. God could have chosen to give us all heaven like that but he didn't. He gave us free will and ability to reason, to make our own choices.

Once again you theists simply say "you just gotta believe". This sadly isn't proof of anything but your gullibility.

:D ok. I'll keep you in my prayers?

Do as you wish
