Resolved: God Is Weak

Good Luck. First off, some points in regards to his analysis of the resolution at hand. "If my opponent is a subscriber/follower to the theory of biological evolution, he is essentially saying it is weak as it came and was designed from this weak God. " Not necessarily. I do not mean for this to turn into a religious quarrel, but I am arguing the fact that if there is a god, a force, or some sort of powerful being out there (not necessarily saying there is or isn't)---then why, as supreme ruler, isn't he or even SHE doing their job correctly, in regards to the general population? It has been argued for quit some time, as too whether or not this 'God' is actually weak (as the resolution definition states--- Of a low standard; performing or performed badly) or of high quality and performing his or her job correctly. I suppose you can relate it too the theory/and or mechanisms of what biological evolution is fueled from, but in this case, it is more of a yes or no. Also, in regards to what you mentioned about God's actual power, and massive strength. .. well, that doesn't necessarily mean God is or is not weak. .. it is simply stating his physical stength, which is only a portion of an actual being (or especially supreme ruler's) general persona. This debate it more in terms of failing to do his job correctly, as the definition of weak states---Of a low standard; performing or performed badly. .. not necessarily if he jueated the big bang, and so forth. The answer to this debate lies deeper than just physical strength, it also includes mental strength, and the knowledge to meet the needs of everyone, not just one general, small populaton of people. Contention One: God allows for sufferageIt is true. Look around, you'll see it everywhere. Suffering, and pain. There's is really no answer to it, but in several cases, people turn to the definition of God. .. the supreme ruler, or any other powerful force they believe looks over them, and controls their fate. This is the case that I am talking about. .. if their is a God/supreme ruler who looks over all and does indeed plan for them what is too happen. .. then why does he turn to sufferage and pain for some who don't deserve it? For some who cannot bear the pain? Is this 'God' weak, is he of proficient performing standard for some if he has to make others suffer? The question lies deeper than just physical strength, it is a matter of what happens in this world. In several cases, innocent people have shared their stories about family members dying, relatives getting sick, brothers and sisters getting hurt. .. all of these people who have a devoted faith to their 'God' After the incident occurs, they look to them then ask. .. 'why? ' Why does this happen? .. .not only too them, but others as well. In one case, a poor, innocent person who prayed daily and devoted her time and life for her religion and her 'GOD,' was let down when asking for just enough money to rent a place for her and her family to live. Her 'God' never answered this call and left her empty handed in the end. This was the case of Nate Wilson. [1] After analyzing the issue at hand, Nate realized it wasn't fatih issue, it was 'God's' useless power, his useless job, and his useless ways of performing tasks for the people who devot their time and love to his faith. .. Gd had failed to perform his tasks in an orderly manner, one that cold just barely fit the needs of one single woman, who tried hard, and gave it her best. .. Contention Two: Aside from praying, and suffering, God is weak because people have Godlike Power Although the sufferage portion of this debate is a bit different from this portion, it still mixes into the ingredients of why God is indeed weak, supporting the resolution at hand. Aside from praying, suffering, and even physical and mental strength of the supreme ruler himself. .. God is weak because of the reason stated previous (failing to perform tasks)---but to coalesce with that saying, God is also weak because people indeed have 'Godlike powers' and even to some extent a 'Godlike persona. ' Humans do indeed have godlike powers that can change the ways of the world, and if it is simply down to us, then considering the fact that HUMANS can change the world, and HUMANS can do what is necessary to make change and live happy, normal, healthy, benefical lives that fit our mood and our personality, then it goes therefore the God, or any supreme being out there is simply powerless and weak. And that does go in regards to the resolution (weak meaning of low standard) because of God wasn't of low standard. .. then why would humans want change all the time? Why is there bloodshed, evil, and killing? Wars, guns, stealing, and murder? .. .Is it God? Perhaps. But even more, it is for us to decide, and for us too change, and make our lives of high quality and proficient standard. .. that is stronger than any 'God' anyone has ever known. In the past, and even up till today, people have made substantial change, beneficial ideas, and great workings, all targeted towards aiding society. [2]. In several sections of our lives, change has been made to make things better. Everyday, scientific discoveries, ideas, and inventions are put forth and made, all with the intention of making life better (for the most part---for example, medications and hospital equipment for immediate care) for anyone, and everyone who needs it. This is not probability, this is not by chance. .. this is not because pray or devotiation really. .. it is because of life, and because of power at the hands of people. It is the will of the people to make change, and to create new things and ideas. .. and why? For the betterment of society, for the betterment of the people, and for the betterment of the world as whole. This is godlike, this is supreme ruling. No 'God' is necessary in this case, and no 'God' (at least according to mt previous argument) will ever do this UNLESS HUMANS, THE SOURCE OF ALL POWER ACT NOW! Contention Three: Lastly, God is an incentive for evil True, God working as an incentive for evil is more of an 'evil' (or in God's case. .. more of a Satanic) thing to do, but most definately fails for God to perfomr his taks in an orderly and proficient manner. .. it show weakness in other words. I'm not at all saying 'God' is bad, just mere stating the obvious fact that he fails to let people communicate properl and thrive in certain times. Per definition (of evil---Morally bad or wrong; wicked: an evil tyrant. ) [3], something that causes evil has to be evil itself. No good, moral person would purposefully cause evil acts to be committed. The God of the bible causes so many evil atrocities it is amazing to me that anyone could worship him. The most blatant example of this is hell. I’m reminded of the analogy that goes as follows. Imagine a father were to tell his son that by the time he is twelve, he must decide whether or not to love his dad. The father says the child is free to choose whatever he wants, but if he chooses to not love his father, then the father will put his son in the oven and cook him. What sort of freedom of choice is this? How ironic is it then that when God does this, we worship him, say “God is Love”, and build churches in his honor. Yet this is the choice God gives us in the bible. Either love him, and choose him, or we will face the fires of hell. Simple as that. And how is this choice? And how is this free will? .. .How is this. .. purposeful, let alone moral, right, or benficially committed in a proficient manner? How is this meeting the needs of everyone? It doesn't, and 'God' fails to do this, thus God fails to accurately commit to his job, and work at it in a stable manner. [4] Sources [1]-. http://www.nbc.com... [2]-. http://www.drudgereport.com...
