The Problem with Christians

[LadyForCamus]

Not to mention, LFC, that if you go with the "God magically shaped molecules into DNA and proteins that make up life" hypothesis (I shudder to even call it that), you have to accept that this meddler-in-the-mud then deliberately created:

The Marburg/Ebola viruses:


Hantavirus:

(It mostly causes internal bleeding, so no pictures of the patients on this one.)

HIV/AIDS:


Need I go on? I could get into the parasitic creatures and fungal infections and bacteria/archaea, if we need to.

They think they're doing God a favor when they posit that he shaped all life's DNA by magic, but the problem is that if God used magic to deliberately shape life on earth, then he is a sick bastard. It's much kinder to God to say that evolution is the Creation process, as random and amoral as it is, and that God is not intervening in the natural world other than to save our souls after death...because if this is on purpose, then we need to catch and execute this deity for crimes against humanity. (And also the rest of the plant/animal kingdoms, all of which are similarly infected by parasitic creatures, including viruses.)

Yeah, no kidding! Some design, eh? So, either God couldn't have done any better than what we've got, or he chose not to for whatever reason. Either way...what a fucktard...
