It's a cancer on society.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Yea, but there are always going to be bad things in life. All you can do is contain them, and minimize the harmful affects, but our species is and will always be flawed.

Because God is everywhere.

I've never been one to shirk my duties in the cause of evolution.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

My statement was for sarcasm. Smile By saying "God is everywhere" I meant to say that people everywhere talk and behave according to his supposed existence.

I got that, but I think the correction was still justified. You know what some people are like for ripping quotes out of context.
