@Goodlife
You said this in your last post
"It means that humans were never meant to rule themselves, history proves that, but when things go wrong you quickly blame God. "
You keep saying that man was never meant to rule themselves. The very idea that you say this is really quite an insult to humanity.There is no one else to rule us, goodlife, despite what you might think. There is no evidence, nothing to suggest that a god with a day to day interest in humanity exists. The notion is derived from superstition, and maintained and powered by faith. Thats, all ,that is it.
In the same post, you then went on to say this
"When you consider what man is doing to the earth, is that surprising? Earthquakes and tsunami are the result of man’s mismanagement of the earth. Nothing to do with God."
What is it that you think man is doing that is causing earthquakes and tsunamis?
The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, goodlife. This is not a belief, not a figure based on faith, not a calculation based upon the number of begats in a book.This is evidential fact. And mankind has been around for only around 40,000 years or so. There is evidence of earthquakes and volcanoes in the geographic record that pre-date mankinds existence.
Can you offer evidence to suggest that the frequency of volcanoes, or tsunamis, or earthquakes is increasing? ( Hint: No, you can't)
It is, frankly, absurd to suggest that mankind is creating such natural disasters. It does not stack, and the evidence does not support it.In fact, we have a pretty good idea of what causes all of these natural phenomena, and can monitor, and to some extent predict when such events are due to occur. Thats because of science, goodlife - the investigation of the natural world and the forces that shape it.
On your last sentence, " it is nothing to do with god" we can both agree. The difference between you and I on this issue is that I apply that same logic to everything, because there is no god. You, on the other hand, allow your faith to dictate your perception of reality.
The phrase " There are none so blind as those who will not see". I think you have used it before, in your description of atheists.
The full saying is actually "‘There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know’."
I would submit that the phrase better suits the religious fundamentalist, that rejects the objective evidence around them in favour of doctrine and dogma.
