I’m an atheist. So why can’t I shake God?

[drfuzzy]

So what you're saying is God has time to blow the leaves out of your yard, but no time at all to help kidnap victims or starving children?

God: Oh, sounds like Scooby is praying to me!  He doesn't want to rake the leaves.  I know I'll blow them out of the yard, and then he can lie to his dad about doing the job himself.  Hmmm... wait a minute, a little girl has been kidnapped and is about to be murdered?  She's praying for my help... which do I help... which do I help.... I think I'll help Scooby.

 Haha, I know it sounds crazy. I wouldn't say God doesn't want to help everyone, but there is free will, which allows people to do bad things. Just because they happen doesn't mean God wills it to happen. He doesn't want it to happen at all, but earth is a place for learning, and through pain people learn lessons, which effect the universal consciousness of us all in hopes that we will learn to prevent those things to happen. Just like a parent doesn't want their child to get hurt, the child will experience life and through pain learn a lesson to avoid that in the future. It's part of life and learning. Do you get upset when a carnivore kills it's prey? It's the circle of life and nature.

Wait, what????
So first, you're to lazy to obey your parent, so you pray for god to do your chores for you.  God apparently does, which inconveniences your neighbors, and allows you to get away with lying to your father.

Cecelia points out the inequity of that scenario, and comments that all over the earth, there are innocent children, (many of them Christian, not that it should matter) who are crying out to god to save them from starving, from being raped, from being beaten.  

And you just wave your hand and spout . . . utter smarmy selfish egotistical filth.  
"Just because they happen doesn't mean God wills it to happen. He doesn't want it to happen at all"  - so, your little itty bitty god will do your chores for you, and HELP you to sin, but the evil that is occuring all over the planet is not "his will".  REALLY?  And then, to make it even worse, you just wave your hand and say that the kids will learn from their torture.  It's the circle of life, you know?  Eat or be eaten.  But god does my chores for ME.

What kind of sick, sociopathic psycho ARE you???
