The first position got to go to Genghis Khan. Second comes Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, third comes Julius Caeser, fourth position goes to Hannibal and the last is Babur.
But aren't they just taking advantage of the common man? Aren't they living off the fat of the donations that they make?
By your argument I take the meaning that you mean to say that why do our children argue with us? That's because they do not know. They do not even know how to speak, how would they understand? What they ask is out of raw curiosity which they do not have the skill or intelligence to research on their own, whereas questioning god is taking it to a whole new level.
Let's, for once, try this point of view.
You say that we should question god, that only by questioning him can we truly learn about him. Tell me something. Do you question your mother, why she gave birth to you? Your father, why he takes care of you? Your teacher, why he teaches you? your brother, why he loves you? No. Still, you cannot say that you do not truly love them, nor can you say that they do not truly love you. Don't get me wrong here- to think the other way, you have to look at new concepts, at a new way of thinking.
Here one may raise the question that god cannot be felt, seen, smelt or heard, therefore it's right to question him. However, it is sure that he exists ( I have exhausted the theory of his existence in another debate, so I will avoid mentioning it here ), so if you go questioning on and on and on, you will never really reach a conclusion which can be proved through logic. The concept of god cannot really be proven through logic.
You placed the point that it is only by questioning him that you can truly understand him. But what if you learn about him? Before questioning him, if you learn about him and apply your brain cells, you will see that you have no questions left, only the clarity which you can achieve by looking at the matter with a new perspective.
Given, ultimately, the side of the debate on which I am working, I say-no, it isn't, well, logical, to question god, nor is it morally, if you are a religious person.
Hey there, nummi. Take it easy. I am starting to notice that each and every dispute of yours ends up with taking a not so favorable stand for belief. The debate has no relation with belief, whatsoever.
You say that all people who commit gruesome murders are psychopaths. So, taking the logic of your own argument, how do you know this for sure, if you are not one yourself? What you are talking about here is a mere possibility, in the face of the general fact.
Well, nummi and I are constantly at odds with each other, in our approach, our thoughts, our "beliefs", our way of debating and our attitude towards debates. Moreover, I would be surprised if he does not find some fault in this post which I am making. Still, he is a down to earth, sensible and practical, no nonsense debater, and by no means poor of courtesy. Let's give him his fair share of praise.
Yes, you may be right. I said it just because most of the atheists I have met are hurt.
Anyway, I myself do not worship the god/gods of my religion ( you see, I do not want to disclose it ) All i believe in is God as a positive energy.
By death, a criminal gets rid of all the guilt that he has developed because of his crime. It is a fresh start for him in the other part of the mortal world. Isn't it pretty much a gift to him that he has cleared his moral guilt?
There are just three words:

Well, anything else that you expect that you are reading this sentence?
