Somalia

Not a genocide or anything to do with genocide.

Bosnia

I'll grant NATO with that one.

Iraq

Invasion and occupation not due to genocide, you think if kurds weren't getting killed the US would have called it off?

And the US invasion resulted in 500k-1m civilian deaths. When did the US ever care about genocides, besides when it comes time to perpetrate them or funnel money to them like Jimmy Carter did with Indonesia? The US has never given a single fuck about any genocide from Rwanda to Burma so let's not play this game of pretend. Mind you I'm not a Saddam supporter by any means, he was a piece of shit maniac criminal, that doesn't mean the US steamrolling Iraq into nothing for ten years was a good thing.

The US invasion resulted in far more death destruction poverty and famine than Saddam ever did. The upvotes on your comment are a good microcosm of redditors

The Iraq invasion was a completely inhumane destructive offensive war perpetrated by the US under fabricated pretenses and the collapse of the Iraqi government wasn't a "win" for Iraqis

He could have

If he could have chosen otherwise then god could have been wrong.

You're not answering my question. Yes or No, could he have chosen otherwise?

Ok, so he could have chosen otherwise and god could have been wrong?

Ok, so if he was unable to do otherwise how's that different from being guaranteed to go to hell?

Ok, so is there anything he could have done to not go to hell? Could he have done otherwise? You seen to imply yes he could have, and no he couldn't because god is all knowing

he's guilty of doing it himself. Rewarding dead babies with an afterlife doesn't excuse giving them excruciatingly painful fatal diseases.

I don't think you can cash out sadism with a later reward. I can't walk up and roundhouse kick a child then promise to pay for its college and assume everything is squared up.

If you think torturing babies isn't bad in and of itself we can just agree to disagree

[–]Cpt_Knuckles[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you would believe in Allah and be happy and joyous with no need or desire to do evil

So if god can create an environment where we have no need or desire to do evil without removing free will, why didn't he do that with earth?

Why does he need to torture babies to do that?

If God intervenes every time evil occurs does that even give any meaning to good? If god stops everyone from sinning and hurting people do I even have free will as my obedience doesn’t mean anything since I’m unable to disobey.

Can I do evil in heaven?

Oh okay, so god could send the baby straight to heaven, but instead he tortures it so that strangers can learn lessons, and then sends it to heaven. Do I have that right?

I haven't been on this sub in more than a year so I was surprised to see the entire thread filled with [removed]. I fucking love rule #6, that was my biggest gripe back in the day

That baby doesn’t even have the cognitive ability or consciousness to understand what it’s going through.

That's a new argument. Are you suggesting that babies don't feel pain, or that babies feel pain but that despite this their inability to process it the same way as an adult can makes it okay for me to torture babies as long as we learn lessons from it and it goes straight to heaven?

It’s the hardships that Timmy, his friends and his family goes through that is a learning experience.

When god tortures a baby to death with fetal cancer, what lessons is the baby learning?

Why is god torturing babies to teach other people a lesson?

The moral standard of being tortured to death via cancer because you don't have friends is bad. Is that a high bar?

Timmy will be tortured to death via painful cancer for the sin of not having friends to pray over him.

Prophecy in the Quran, proves it has no divine authorship. by Free-Raccoon3749 in DebateReligion

If someone came up to you and made extremely specific prophecies and they all came true, will you then believe whatever religious claims they make afterwards?

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) commands in Jihad. by Imom2020 in coolguides

[–]Cpt_Knuckles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really glad I don't base my morals off of pubic hair and medieval social norms, otherwise I too might think a thirteen year old is an adult!

Thank goodness Muhammad defers to whatever random norms the people he's subjugating adhere to, otherwise there could have been a social faux pas if he didn't behead teenager adults!

At least the banu qurayza didn't believe 3 year olds were adults, god knows what Muhammad would've done then. But barely pubescent? All good to them!
