God's love protects us from the disasters he sends.

[Bob Kelso]

A lot of Christian apologists, when talking about the anthropic principle, like to point out how "perfectly in-tune" everything is for humanity's existence. For example; how the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field act as a perfect shield from the Sun's deadly radiation. Everything from how the human body is designed to fight off deadly infections, to how Jupiter's immense gravity attracts asteroids that would otherwise hit the Earth.

Reminds me of someone who would send a swarm of killer bees after you, but only after he's given you a can of bug repellent.

Clearly, he loves his creation so much, that he's willing to design us with safety features that protect us from all the bad things that are trying to kill us.... Which he also designed...?

Sounds like infinite love to me.

Yep, god's plan to make a universe perfectly suitable for man all depended upon making 99.99% of the universe incredibly deadly to man's existence.

Fucker couldn't even do that right.

Well it did miss the highway!

I put up a similar thread recently about the immune system and why God gave us one if he didn't intend to shower us with diseases.

He is a real joker, as the immune system is in no way perfect, and attacks our own bodies sometimes.

Sounds like an criminal practice called a racket to me. Which makes all the preachers, pastors, priests indictable accomplices under federal RICO laws.
