What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?

Therefor, there isn't any reason why he has to include child rape in his plans, because he is not limited like humans would be. So to ask us to trust him makes no sense. It would make sense only if he actually wasn't all powerful.

They wiggle their way around that usually, with answers such as god testing us, free will or similar talking points. I've long given up asking these questions. Long before I came here, since they aren't really important anyway. What is important is what we know about the universe, earth's history and life - and that not computing with a humanocentric benevolent god.
