I find the logic hard to follow that anyone who worships god will have their prayers answered when so many deserving people, who live good lives and help others, end up being SHIT ON...and when they pray...NOTHING. And it gets explained away as "This is god's plan for you," or "You must have secretly deserved that."

No, I don't want god to get rid of all the problems in the world just to give me peace of mind about his existence. I want him to get rid of the horrible diseases and genocides and starvation because I have empathy for the rest of the human race.

I admit to being too lazy to go back and look, but didn't he ask about FUTURE employers? More specifically, guidance about where to go? That has nothing to do with loyalty, but rather a hint of the best direction to place one's efforts. You know, "Hey God, I know you're supposed to have some sort of plan for me, so to save myself a lot of wasted effort and floundering around, how about you give me a quick sign as to where you're thinkin' I'm most useful?" It doesn't matter, you kept avoiding the question.

Dear Godschild, that was the most asshole statement I have heard come out of your mouth so far. I guess the size of the populations that need the clean water isn't big enough. I guess the size of the people who prayed for it thus far wasn't enough. Didn't Abraham argue God down to having what...only 10 people out of the two cities and he wouldn't destroy them? 10 people vs millions. God damn. Next time I get caught by the cops for something, I'm so calling on Abraham. He must be a lawyer/negotiator without peer.

Don't turn this back on the questioner to avoid answering it.
