RE: How humans are "slaves", and how that leads to the existence of God.

Well, let’s look at the things that were made to serve humanity.
1. The sun ~ it gives us warmth and for some of us it allows our bodies to synthesize beneficial vitamins. It gives us light. It burns us and renders parts of the Earth too hot for habitation.
2. Other animals ~ they provide us with food and muscle strength for tasks which we are not strong enough to perform. Their skins provide us with clothing and their waste with fertilizer. In fact every living thing on this planet lives at the expense of other living things. If you live on this planet, you are both predator and prey, parasite and host.
3. The Earth ~ she provides everything that we need, food, shelter, water, air, clothing, beauty. She cleanses and repairs herself with lightening, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes, mudslides and wildfires. There’s not a place on this planet where there is not something with the potential to take your life.
Religious people look at the natural disasters and say that is god punishing America for her wickedness. If that’s so then his aim is a little off, for it’s mostly poor and powerless people who are being struck while the PTB on this planet are mostly unaffected.
One may come up with highly abstract, philosophical arguments for the existence of god, but the realities of this world speak for themselves.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
