Or is it that your version of the universe is one big cycle of suffering because god sucks at administering justice?
Suppose in a previous life you kill or you commit any crime and the cops never got hold of you.
Would you really think that you can get away with that in this life or maybe you think that we live only once so if we do something wrong and the cops don't get us we are just lucky?
What is with the recent explanations from theists that make god out to be a fumbling, incompetent douchebag? And you think you're explaining why he's a good being? And you think that we hate god????
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
