Also, this seems to be more of an emotional issue for you, rather than rational. Should I be posting pictures of cuddly kittens.
If you just want to throw a melodramatic temper tantrum... I'm not really interested.
What about my argument is emotional and not rational? I wasn't even particularly profane like I usually am. My wizard senses tell me that you're trying to avoid the responsibility of supporting your assertions by dismissing me as angry (even though there's not necessarily evidence of that).
Answer the question instead of dodging it with another question, please. Is your Gaud evil or stupid? Does he plan suffering and death because he's evil, or does he fail to stop it because he's incompetent?
As for responsibility, that depends entirely on the specifiic "Christian worldview" in question. Most sects assert that Gaud is completely and perfectly omniscient, which precludes the possibility of free will because the only one with any agency in that scenario is Gaud. If Gaud already knows everything that will happen, then history is written and all choices are already irrevocably made. By creating us with full advance knowledge of our actions, Gaud sets us on a path that we are powerless to change or control, making him responsible for everything we do and everything that happens to us.
Basically, if I create a robot with full foreknowledge that it will work fine right out of the box, but that soon it's programming will break down and cause it to kill a busload of children, I don't get to blame the robot for the busload of dead kids just because I didn't technically program it to do that. I still knew it was going to do that, and yet I still created the robot and did nothing to prevent this glitch from arising in its programming. That makes me responsible for the robot's murderous actions. The only way I'm not responsible is if I didn't know the glitch would arise, but then I wouldn't be omniscient, would I?
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
