That is illogical.  Not doing anything within one's capable means is evil.

How is that illogical? I don't see any logic in that statement, unless it's presumed that the presumed-perfect god is perfectly evil, and not perfectly good. Since my observations reflect Xtian doctrines back at them, I doubt they presume this of their god.

Of course we see the evil in a god who doesn't do what only he could to intervene and prevent evil, or to even allow evil to be so much as a threat. It also means the same god is not really perfect, and 6 is a half-dozen.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
