It's like expecting to win the lottery without buying a ticket. As an atheist I've chosen to believe that I'm responsible for my own destiny and that it's up to me to make decisions and face crisis without any guidance or assistance from any form of God or higher spirit. As such I don't hope to benefit from the good fortune or otherwise of the people who do believe (except to benefit from public holidays). Maybe we should switch to politics?

I think there are plenty in Eastern Europe and South America. As for the others, you're saying that it's their bad luck to be born in the wrong country as God is spiteful and will only help believers? If that's the case, it's a risk practicing any religion isn't it? I mean suppose the Jehohah's Witnesses are the ones who are right. Jeremy is just making God even more mad by doing the wrong thing whereas I fly under the radar. Does the halo effect of me living in a Christian society/nation mean that I get the protection afforded to my Christian neighbour whilst also still being an atheist? I've got a sort of human sheild around me.

That's not to say that they don't have their own 'spiritual' leader/icon that may or may not have let them down.

I'm sure even if they knew about Jesus, it would be of little comfort whilst they are getting beaten and sodomized.

The standard argument goes something like: If God is all powerful and all loving how come there is suffering in the world? The basic premise is flawed from my point of view. I'd respond something like: If God is all powerful and all loving and there is suffering in the world then God must have an important purpose involving suffering. As in all theological discussions Jesus needs be kept at the centre - and there he is as soon you raise the issue of suffering. God's purposes in creation are centred on Jesus. Jesus' own suffering, death and resurrection are the guarantee that, when he returns, death will have no power and suffering will be ended. Forever. There's my briefest theodicy. I can trust God now and into the future because of what Jesus has done in the past. I'll just duck down while you all start shooting. _____ From: nswolves@googlegroups.com [mailto:nswolves@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steven Millward Sent: Tuesday, 3 May 2011 10:17 AM To: nswolves@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [NSWolves] Team for Albion You'd better give us a run down on your views on theodicy then Jeremy.

Marcus is right - the only positive was a point that I hadn't banked but (but had publicly hoped for). It was an away game - this Sunday is huge. But it'll probably still come down to a win against Blackburn so that we scramble over Wigan and Blackpool to survival. A bit disappointed - all my ducks were lining up. Walsall won and only need a draw to survive. Shrewsbury won and a final win would see them promoted. Bundanoon Wombats had a shock win and will still be relegated. Wolves.?
