There is no possible way god exists unless you believe in utter hate and evil: Timmy Kinner

Hi, Backwardseden, my name is Efron. I'm a former follower of Christ, and currently labelled as "agnostic." There is little to say on the matter of the gruesome stabbings other than what has already been said. I agree wholeheartedly. That man is a monster, and none of those children had any say in whether their life was to be spared or taken, which an incredible injustice to say the very least. "There is absolutely no possible way that if the piece of crap god of the bible exists unless you believe in utter hate and evil. It really is quite that simple. After all, this god of yours, who knowingly creates everybody, knows EXACTLY what is going to happen to everybody trillions of years in advance. Well of course that is only true if god is god." I agree with your first statement, in that because there is good, there has to be evil to contrast. You seem to be angry in a god that you don't believe in; furthermore, a god that Christ-followers do not believe in either. You're putting God in a box the same way that "so-called Christians" do all the time. The belief in a higher creative being does not have to be characterized by a stagnant mindset. To elaborate, no one can understand God completely, but Christ-followers are able to infer what God is *not* via (H)is sure teachings. "And the thing is that's even better is this god guy ---always--- favors the evildoer as these children, they don't know what's going on, how to get away, that they are under attack, how to fight back. And absolutely the sicko killer knows this. Even better since the evil doer commits his crimes, naturally its usually against children, in which god truly hates. Would you like the verses? No. I didn't think so." It's unhelpful to me that you claim these "God hates children" verses exist, and decide not to cite them, but I digress. Matthew 19:13-15, ESV: "Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." And he laid his hands on them and went away." This doesn't speak to me as children-hating, does it to you? "And then it gets even better because of all those around these kids who will have to go through their lives of grieving and suffering and of loss in which they may never recover from. it keeps happening again and again and again. god must love it. Otherwise he would not create it." Who says God loves suffering? The only things we can understand about God are the things he claims of himself, or the things claimed of him by "The Prophets." There is still much debate on the topic you speak of; why did God create humans, the most barbaric and vicious creatures upon the face of the earth? No census has been reached, unfortunately. No census *should* be reached, in my opinion. Pentecostal reasoning suggests that God "was lonely." What kinda BS is that, right? "'Now I am absolutely convinced that the main source of hatred in the world is religion and organized religion. Absolutely convinced of it. And I think it, religion, should be treated with ridicule, hatred and contempt. And I claim that right.'" Now THAT is sensible. Organized religion; the main source of hatred in the world. You're exactly correct. What this quote DOESN'T say is that believing in God is believing in complacency in injustice. True Christ-followers DO ridicule, hate, and hold contempt for "Organized Religion." Because organized religion is what cults are defined as. What is called the "Body of Christ" is a community of believers trying to help and support those who are suffering, while spreading the gospel of peace and love. "There is absolutely NOTHING you can say to circumvent this. If you believe in the god according to the bible, well sorry he's a sicko, loves EXTREME pain and suffering and is an a$$." Please elaborate on your reasoning so that I may further explain my point.
