Aditya, exactly! Great job of realizing the thinking error and changing it to a healthy response. It’s all about learning from things.

Ya this completely depends on one’s perspective.I failed in an interview and for a moment i thought that i am big looser and can’t do thing properly. But later i realized that i should take this failure as just another learning lesson and try not to commit the same mistake.

James,

What do you mean it was a christian heresy and developed by Zoroastrians? I can make claims all day like as well without proving anything about what I claim is true.

Second, who are you to say that killing a baby is wrong if there is no transcended objective moral truth? If there is no God, nor one that is objectively moral, how can anyone say that anything is wrong. That is without just claiming a personal preference. In other words, it may be wrong for me to kill babies, but that does not mean that I should stop anyone else from killing babies because there is no true punishment to endure. If I were to kill someone else’s baby for fun and I was killed in retaliation then so what. I would just be dead. So to say God does not exist because of evil means I have to first have some means of determining what is evil. Otherwise it is just my personal preference against another.

Gary,

Almost no one in the world believe in “evil.” It used to be a Christian herecy and it was developed by the Zorastrians.

I think it is wrong to torture babies because a great deal of harm is done and little to no benefit is gained. It is a horrible thing to do and it’s not just the baby’s “opinion” or that it’s horrible.

Hi James. I can see that you have put a lot of thought into this. I have asked a friend or two to help address your concerns. As of now, I have an appointment to attend.
