People of faith would say that volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and every other natural disaster etc is God's will.
Yep, the book or Revelation would make a good movie, but there are many Christians and Muslims who believe that we are going through the End of Days now and that Syria is where...
If there was a God he could give us free will without causing others harm. You cannot tell me that causing harm is just a byproduct of free will.
I cannot believe in a God who plans an apocalyptic end to the world, and who sentences non believers to burn in hell for eternity.
You have to...
Yep, this free will excuse is used to try and throw religious questioners off with a fanciful paradox, but it doesn't work when a little more thought is invested.
In fact was Germanwings Flight 9525 God's will or Andreas Lubitz's free will? It gets confusing this God thing.
Disagree. The concept of free will is an afterthought excuse in mans design of God when evil deeds are done. He could give us free will without giving us evil free will as well, there is a massive difference.
Don’t forget, he designed us and any human flaws can be directly attributed to him...
Same rhetoric, different language.
“I believe God wants me to be president”
“chosen by the grace of God to lead at that moment”
“God told me to strike at al-Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the...
I should have said Serbia, Yugoslavia, it's all the same. That war was sanctioned by the UN, which is key. The attitude of screw the UN sets a very bad example to already problematic countries to also not comply with the UN.
Why should any exteme group or North Korea listen to the UN if Bush...
I don't buy the keeping good friends with the US. By going to Afghanistan we showed our loyalty after 9/11. Not sure if the US would have fallen out with us when we were helping as much as we could anyway.
To a degree, but I don't believe the Clinton government would have gone to Iraq. He would have concentrated on Afghanistan and chasing Bin Laden.
The US military machine was planning for a war in Iraq scenario before 9/11, and Bush wanted to carry on where his dad left off.
9/11 was more of...
Blair is going on the premise that if Saddam remained he would have gone on to make WMD, but the UN weapons inspectors would have continued their work there indefinitely. So just more BS.
There was plenty of foresight at the time. Hans Blix, Dr Kelly, Robin Cook, Clare Short, Charles Kennedy, the 1.2 million people who went to the streets of London to protest, and all the millions who didn't
The good old "hindsight" chestnut doesn't work in this instance.
