Where do you stand on the existence of God?

[Thumpalumpacus]

Your comments are a weak argument.  There's been a lot of nasty diseases man has eliminated or learned how to control.  Remember polio and smallpox?  One day man may very well learn how to eliminate cancer.  He already knows how to control it although the control mechanism isn't perfect.  If you were properly motivated you could discover how to eliminate it or some other disease.  Instead you want some invisible magic being to make everything good for you.  

Actually, you missed my point, which is that a god who is perfectly good wouldn't have created those diseases in the first place. I'm not arguing against man's ability to learn; I'm arguing against the idea that the Abrahamic god is perfectly good.

Just so we're perfectly clear, I don't believe in any magical beings, much less desire said nonexistent entities to rescue me from a disease said being is alleged to have created.

Look at the bright side.  The omnipotent god character didn't give you a disease that turns your bones into powder overnight.  So that's a good thing, right?

It ain't overnight, but I do indeed have a bone disease that is destroying my bone tissue. I don't believe that any god created it, because I don't believe in any gods.

I'll try to remember to include a "just for the sake of argument" clause, so that we can avoid this sort of misunderstanding again. But it's easier if you just remember that I'm an atheist, and that if I accept the premise of a god, it's only in order to hoist my interlocutor upon their own argument.

For whatever reason or how it happened, man is supposed to be an intelligent creature who has the wherewithal to solve most of his problems if he will get off of his ass and work on them.  So when you have a problem do something that will solve it instead of just complain about it.  When you get hungry you are supposed to be smart enough to eat.  Don't complain because your body has the capability to experience hunger.    

For whatever reason, you seem to think I disagree with this. I'm unsure where you got that idea.
