[12:24am]amigojapan_:kurman: never there
[12:24am]kurman:that is the reality i have come to know
[12:25am]kurman:no god to be found, anywhere
[12:26am]amigojapan_:kurman: well.  Many people here interpret the good that happens in their life as god and the bad as satan
[12:27am]kurman:a very childish idea
[12:29am]amigojapan_:kurman: well with such bias there is no way for god to fail their test.  Ofcourse people will have some good things and some bad things happen to them
[12:29am]kurman:there is nothing to test
[12:29am]kurman:its just an idea
[12:30am]amigojapan_:kurman: in fact many of them are convinced that testing god is a bad thing
[12:31am]kurman:there is nothing to be convinced of
[12:31am]amigojapan_:"Do not put The Lord to the test" or something like that

[12:33am]amigojapan_:kurman: well.  They don't see it as us.  They are like "look at something existing rather than nothing at all! That is proof that god exists!" Then they jump to conclusions like "the abrahamic god is the one true god cause the prophecy of Israel appearing again is true".

[12:35am]amigojapan_:kurman: they end up rationalizing the bad things in the bible in different ways.
[12:38am]amigojapan_:There are many many ways to rationalize it. But I would say there are two main camp.  Those who say that it was not bad after all. And those who embrace the bad as good
