Humans have ALWAYS been prone to cancer, including brain cancer. If smoke causes cancer, so be it, but humans are designed to require cooked food, and cooking causes smoke. And nobody know all these medical interconnections until recent developments of modern science


Last time I checked, when I was inhaling smoke, I coughed. That moment, I knew it irritates my respiratory system. Had I been born in 130 AD, I would still have coughed had I inhaled smoke. And I would have still known that it irritates me from within.

Human beings are supposed to cook but they are not supposed to sit inside their meat. Why would I fry something in my cave when I could do that in open if I know that I cough when I smoke? You have started sounding illogical now.

You like coughing, Don't you?
@DanielsASJ You've never sat around a campfire at night? The smoke can blow in any direction.

You like blaming the victim, don't you?

Early humans lived in a world of complicated booby-traps of which they were completely ignorant. Poison mushrooms; edible mushrooms. poison insects; edible insects. Endless booby traps of which they were completely ignorant. How is that NOT God's responsibility??

@ElwoodBlues Smoke flows only n the direction of wind and wind has a definite direction unless you want to cook in a Hurricane or cyclone.

Don't tell me you will eat all the mushroom in an area one fine day you get up. If Anyone eats anything out of curiosity, they taste it first. If they don't taste it, then they are foolish. They take training from animals. They watch what animals are eating. Because many animals feed on veggies. Why don't you try eating rats? Because you know they are not clean. Why would you eat something wild for? God has given you enough wisdom to differentiate between what's good and what's not good.

None of us here can change what God has already established as the truth. Exactly. I love what you said there. Who are we to be so arrogant as to think we have the authority to change God's truths and laws to our satisfaction? God did not give us the authority to change his laws. That's pure arrogance on man's part.

@LadyGrace You got that right, sister.
@GodSpeed63 thanks for BC

@LadyGrace You're most welcome.
Man's misinformation, is right! This is what happens when people assume things about God yet have never picked up their Bible and read it nor studied it.

It reminds me of when people assume that God created evil. Evil is not in God's character. He did not create evil in Lucifer, later named Satan. The Bible says that evil was Satan's choice, not God's. It says that evil was found in Lucifer's heart! Meaning that Lucifer made up his own mind to sin against God and try to take over his kingdom. Lucifer made the choice to sin. What we call free will and Lucifer decided he wanted to be God and be worshiped, so he started a war in heaven. We can transfer that choice of sin to this generation today. God doesn't causes people to sin. They sin by choice, and for their own choices, they cannot blame God. Sin is our responsibility. We have free will. And if we sin, we cannot say that it was God that caused it. That would be like me going out and robbing the bank and then blaming you. Utterly preposterous! As a creation with free will, we are responsible for our own individual choices. And the Bible says that sin always brings consequences. Period! Jesus did not come to condemn the world, but to save it from the condemnation that sin placed on us. John 3:16 and 17
There may be exceptions, but in general I think atheists and believers are just using different words to express their understanding. We are all in the same wondrous and troubling world.

God flooded the earth twice, killing everyone but Noah and family, and some animals. He set one person on fire.
With those kinds of powers, one would think he would have stepped in and stopped some of the horror events that took place in history....but he didn't. I guess he retired after Jesus came, and sat back as a spectator to the terrible events that took place and continue to happen today.

For your reading pleasure, brought to you via AI overview:

In the Bible, God is attributed with causing the deaths of an estimated 2,559,449 people based on specific numbers provided in the text, according to some interpretations of the Bible. This figure primarily comes from the Old Testament, and does not include deaths where the Bible doesn't provide a specific number, such as during the Flood or the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Here's a breakdown.

Specific Numbers:
Many deaths are attributed to God's direct action or command, and these are often in the Old Testament, particularly during events like the plagues in Egypt, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and various other incidents.

Flood:
The Great Flood in Genesis is a major event where God is said to have destroyed almost all of humanity and animal life (except those on the ark). While no specific number is given, some estimate it to be around 20-100 million.

Old Testament vs. New Testament:
The vast majority of deaths attributed to God are in the Old Testament. There are relatively few instances in the New Testament where God is depicted as directly causing death.

Satan's Kill Count:
It's worth noting that Satan is also depicted as taking lives in the Bible, but the number is significantly smaller. One estimate places Satan's kill count at around 10.

God flooded the earth twice

Where's that written?
JSul3 · 70-79
@GodSpeed63 Some agree, while others do not...but:

The following additional Scriptures complete the devastation which
accompanied the first flood.
(2Pet. 3:5,6) "5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word
of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water
and in the water:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed
with water, perished:"
The following passages inJob, Psalms, and Genesis completes the description
of water, thick darkness (as in a swaddlingband), and more great shaking of
the earth.None of these refer to Noah's flood.

1.(Job 9:5‐7)"5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not:
which overturneth them in his anger.6 Which shaketh the earth out of
her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. 7Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars."
Note:Shaking the earth out of her place might refer to tilting the earth's axis.
The sun not rising and the stars not visible completes a setting of darkness.

2.(Job 38:8‐11)"8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake
forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?9When I made the cloud
the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud
waves be stayed?”

3.(Ps. 104:6) "Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains."
These versesdescribe a total flood which we also see in Gen. 1:2 below:
(Gen. 1:2) "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters."

What does it matter ?

You choose to exclude science from god's plan? Truly it is you that denies the truth. If God does exist the system created would be self perpetuating? Sure. And if science exists it IS self balancing and requires study examinination trial and error and repeatition.
Science is the study of reality. Choosing to ignore the reality and attribute its wonder to GOD without seeking to understand reality. Is pissing on the creation we are a part of. Therefore if your supreme creator father figure does or doesnt exist. Humanity's appreciation of existence requires the study of that which was created.
Science is the study of our existence surroundings and circumstance (cause and effect). Was it created? What does it matter? It IS so learn about it. . . Attributing existence as a unknowable variable is lazy. If god does exist it is also disrespectful to take our "divine existence" so for granted that we dont marvel while trying to understand.
Would you rather be ignorant? And follow hearsay letters about gods zombie son and his "teachings\lessons".
Mostly unremarkable overly translated (obviously inaccurate) and clearly plagarized from the old testament of King David. . . Jesus was Jewish. Get over it!
And that story was plagarized, and probably embellished upon, from the teachings of Zarathustra from Persia in roughly 27000bce. Trace it back further to the emperor of japan? Idk, thats as far back as the record goes.
I choose to believe in science. It is our best effort to understand existence.

Evolution is misinformation which is why there is no evidence for it

Would you like to see some?

Thought not 😂

The only way you can deal with being given the evidence you denied existed is to pretend it isn't happening?

Quoting from the science books that you read doesn't cut it. The actual evidence that you claim exists, will.

If god want everyone to know the truth, why does he use people like you to spread the word ?
You would figure god would realize that people would stop being afraid of Hell at some point, and say out loud “ this is just plain stupid”
Then what does he do ? He sends us people like you to not to spread lies.
But to demonstrate. Ignorance and spread lies. Is god really so obnoxious and contemptuous of us ?

@GodSpeed63 Even the Bible teaches evolution. Read it.

Do you know what a woman or man is, Shadow?
That wasn't a question that stumped me. In spite of what you have been taught by your overlords, that's not a clever question at all. It's a fake "gotcha" question that relies on people who never graduated grade school not understanding advanced biology. Because basic biology tells us to look at the external seхuaӏ characteristics to determine whether someone is a man or a woman. And going by biological seх alone seems like common sense to people who have never experienced dysphoria.

But the fact is, when you ask your little "gotcha" question, patting yourself on the back for being oh so clever, what you're telling me is that advanced biology, the difference between seх and gender, is beyond your feeble mind to grasp.

God wins in the end

only because Satan knows he can make more money from a franchise.
“Halloween
“Friday the 13th””
“Nightmare on Elm Street”
“Terrifier”
Way more popular than “God’s not Dead”
