According to some, God gave us free will. But what about those who have had our Free-Will overridden? Those who have mental illnesses? Why would God allow that? I mean consider for a moment that some people with mental illnesses have committed some horrible crimes. Even if God wouldn't hold them accountable, he does nothing to stop them despite them not acting of their own free will.
And what about Natural disasters ripping apart homes and families?
Not to mention diseases inflicted upon children.
I believe God allows nature to take its course. He does not micromanage the world.
Why? I do not know. I am not God, and I'm ok with that.
You have been saying that a lot, CL, and we have repetitively pointed out the fallacious depravity in the excuse you make "He does not micromanage the world". It is fallacious on account of the responsibility which his said power implies, and depraved on account of the fact that such a god (if he truly exists as you believe he does) was necessarily in that same alley where a rape was committed, he could have stopped it with a word, but he did nothing, nor even help the victim after the perp had taken off. A god with all the power which you say you believe it has should really should be expected to do more than nothing about such a crime, unless it please him to allow it. You don't allow a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g to happen in this universe when you have all the imaginable power in the universe unless it pleases you when it happens. That it pleases your god to allow rape to happen, whether or not he condemns it - this makes him a monster not like some cowardly rapist, it makes him the king of all monsters!
That's how it is with anyone who has all the power, CL. You can believe in a god who allows cruel, nasty shit to happen on this Earth because he isn't really all that powerful, or you can believe in one which is truly in all imaginable ways uber-powerful, but an evil monster. I believe you wouldn't still be here if you weren't keenly aware that this logic cannot be denied, and the question is when are you going to stop pretending.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
