If God can do anything, then why doesn't He do anything.?

Ya just gotta have faith man! Ok ok I'll stop. The reason god doesn't do anything is because he isn't real.

God does not judge anything ever so God does not see the world in terms of right and wrong.\n\nThese ideas are our creations and we try our best to create a God as confused as we are.\n\nLove and blessings Don

I have found that with God, all things are possible. Don't let your earthly mind get caught up in earthly thoughts. Explain how a mother can lift a car with her baby under it. Or spontaneous combustion.

I have answered this so many times, but here it is again:\n(see http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=ArR35uKnmpaQCk8qLFdTLIMjzKIX?qid=1006020603657 )\n\nGod and Omnipotence\nThe paradox of the stone, as presented by Wade Savage:\n1. Either God can create a stone that God cannot lift, or God cannot create a stone that God cannot lift – there are no other possibilities. \n2. If God can create a stone that God cannot lift, then there is at least one thing that God cannot do (i.e., lift that stone). \n3. If God cannot create a stone that God cannot lift, then there is at least one thing that God cannot do (i.e., create that stone). \n4. From the combination of 1, 2 and 3, it follows that there is at least one thing that God cannot do. \n5. If God is omnipotent, then God can do anything. \n6. Therefore, God is not omnipotent. \n\nWhat this argument apparently shows is that omnipotence is impossible (or, that the notion of omnipotence is incoherent). Thus, God cannot be omnipotent (as nothing can be).\n\nSuggested solutions to the paradox St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274):\nAquinas defines as “absolutely impossible” any thing where the “predicate is altogether incompatible with the subject” (his example: “man is an ***” (in the non-metaphorical sense)). With this in mind:\nWhatever implies contradiction does not come within the scope of divine omnipotence, because it cannot have the aspect of possibility. Hence it is more appropriate to say that such things cannot be done, than that God cannot do them.\n\nThat is, to be omnipotent involves being able to do all things that are possible. For example, it is not considered a limit to my powers that I cannot draw a square circle. That’s impossible, so it’s no failing that I can’t do it – it cannot be done.\n\nBUT: surely I can make a thing that is too heavy for me to lift, so that task is not impossible, so if God can’t do it, that really is a limit to his power.\n\nGeorge Mavrodes (1926-):\nMavrodes responds that although “a stone too heavy for Simon Cushing to lift” is not a contradictory notion, “a stone too heavy for an omnipotent being to lift” is a contradictory notion.\nMavrodes’s argument in full:\n1. Either God is omnipotent or he is not. \n2. If God is not omnipotent, then the fact that he cannot do something (either make or lift the stone) is unsurprising. \n3. If God is omnipotent, then, by definition, there necessarily cannot be a stone that is too heavy for him to lift (otherwise he would not be omnipotent). \n4. If there necessarily cannot be such a stone, then it is an impossibility. \n5. By Aquinas’s reasoning, even an omnipotent being cannot perform impossibilities. \n6. Therefore, by definition, inability to create a stone too heavy for one to lift is no barrier to being omnipotent. (In fact, only non-omnipotent beings can create objects too heavy for themselves to lift.) \n\nBUT: both Aquinas and Mavrodes assume that God cannot do impossible things. Is this right? Descartes, for one, thought not. Descartes believed God could make 2+2=5. Why? Because otherwise you are suggesting that God is bound by the laws of logic. But if God created the laws of logic, why should he be bound by them? Couldn’t he have made them differently?\n\nHarry Frankfurt:\nHowever, if we assume that God can do impossible things, then God can create a stone too heavy for him to lift (which is supposedly impossible). Furthermore, if he can do that, then he can go one stage further and lift that stone (also impossible – but what’s the difference between doing one impossible thing and doing two?) \nBUT: doesn’t that mean that the stone he created was not a stone too heavy for him to lift, and that we’re back to the situation of him being unable to create such a stone? Not according to Frankfurt:\nIf an omnipotent being can do what is logically impossible, then he can not only create situations which he cannot handle but also, since he is not bound by the

We cannot understand the nature of God he did not design our minds to be able to do so.His ways are not our ways.He surpasses all understanding.Yes I believe what you have said but I can not understand.

I asked this question a little earlier, actually. What I believe is, if God exists, he doesn't know the future. Nobody does, because that knowledge is impossible to have. The future doesn't exist yet, and neither do any "future" actions. Any attempt to predict the future is simply speculation.

God has no beginning and no end. I know this is hard to imagine but it is true. Nobody created him. God has been and will always be. Don't ponder on this to much you'll drive yourself crazy wondering how this is possible but it is true.

Okay bear with me on this one. Your question answers itself.\n\nIf God created *everything* then God created himself.\n\nIf he didnt then he can't be a part of *everything*.

God has a reason for everything. Human beings cannot comprehend God and the reasons things happen.

God works in mysterious ways. It is not for us to understand God's work. We must have faith that He is all knowing and His actions should never be questioned.Our feeble minds could never comprehend Gods love for us.

The problem is, you are assuming in your "if there is a God" case that you know what to do to "serve" Him.  But you don't have any basis to know that.  If you are talking about some generic God, there are infinitely many possibilities for how to "serve" Him (assuming He even needs serving).  On the other hand, if you are postulating a very specific God that you have heard about from other people or a book, then you have created a false dichotomy; there aren't just two possibilities (no God versus the God of the Bible), but rather infinitely many (God of the Bible, God of the Koran, God of a book that no one wrote yet, etc.).  So if you "serve" one of them (whatever that means), you are neglecting to serve others.\n\nSo we are back to figuring out what you believe, and going with that.  I guess if you believe in no God, you could still pick one of the infinitely many possibilities of God to "serve," but that seems awfully arbitrary, and your odds of guessing right seem so infinitesimally small that it seems hardly worth the random guess.

If there is a god, he could do whatever he wants.  \n\nPeople say god can't sin but when you ask what sin is, the usually define it as going against the will of god.\n\nOf course god won't go against his own decisions.  That doesn't mean he won't be an evil bastard.  His will could be to torture you for no reason.  Tough luck for you.  Since his will is what believers define as good, torturing you is good.\n\nIn fact defining "good" as whatever is in god's will makes the word "good" meaningless.  The word "good" shold be defined outside of god's thoughts or action, then we can determine if god is good or not.\n\nOr, to make things much easier, we can realize that god doesn't exist and be done with it.

Yes God could have blinked everything instantly in existance.  He simply chose to do it the way He did for reasons I am sure my little brain can't understand.
