Do you have a link? I was going off what I could find and since I was looking for the absence of something, it was hard to find out what they don't believe. But I am pretty sure Mormon's don't believe in the Trinity.

Your making an assumption that if you love someone, your fair and have mercy, that this mean no pain ever.

There definitely is hate in the Bible. There is also every other sin imaginable, like adultery, rape, murder, etc. But those are not the traits adored by God, in most cases they are the precursor to his wrath.
Quote some of the lies you found for me, I am really interested in what you found.

An eternal God. We are all tested in our faith. Who knows exactly why God let's bad things happen to us. Maybe suffering on Earth will lead to someone finding Christ and spending eternity in Heaven instead of Hell... If that were the case, would you not prefer to suffer on Earth and find God to end up spending eternity in Heaven instead of Hell? But who knows why exactly God let's bad things happen...
Maybe because of all those bad things happening we become better people in the end? More compassionate, understanding, caring, loving, charitable, content, confident, encouraged, faithful, giving, humbled, honest, with integrity, patience, forgiving, thoughtful, thankful, wise, and stronger?

1.) god is pleased by people having faith in him
2.) people have faith / are lead to him through suffering
3.) god is omnipotent and has the power to stop the suffering but does not.
this mean god is deriving pleasure by causing suffering. that is the text book definition of psychopath.
the god you worship is a psychopath.

ironic that god only joined in feb 09 just to see this thread, as if he knew it was coming. and the Messiah only has 73 posts? you're gonna have to do a lot more forum posting if you want world peace. and I wouldnt worry about i-club, you should check out nasioc's OT, you might be there for a while cleaning up compared to this taco stand.

"As a response, Mr. and Mrs. Broflovski read the book of Job to him (a book of the Bible) - though they do not finish it. The book of Job is about lots of awful things happening to a good person, who continues worshiping God. The lesson of the story is, God can be just or unjust and we have no way of knowing why life is the way it is because the universe works in mysterious ways. Because of all that, we should never stop believing in or worshiping God."

kidding around. i'm just commentating. i actually think these are two good debates. well one is good. the other one is just entertaining - its like asking how many times can you guys punch each other in the face and keep telling each other you dont feel a thing.
