God does love us all equally but that doesn't mean everyone gets the same life or the same breaks in life. It doesn't work that way. Let's look at it this way, a family with several children in it, some are physically fit a few have slight physical defects and a couple have bad physical defects. The parents have the means to get help for two with the bad defects and they do ( good parents ). What about the ones with slight defects, the parents get them help because the children complain they were not treated equally (good parents ). Now the ones who have no defects feel left out and want something done for their looks and the parents do so (good parents). Now all the children that had physical defects feel that they deserve to have more surgery to bring them to the standard of the ones who had no defects and on and on this goes and the parents do not know how to stop this maddening cycle and give up (bad parents). So whats the answer, all the children wanted to be treated equally and the loving parents wanted to give them what they wanted yet the result was unsatisfied childern. Where does this kind of attitude end, with all the children mad at mom and dad. This is the human condition, we will never be satisfied unless we love the One in control unconditionally.
What an absurd analogy. We are not talking about people with no significant problems who basically want cosmetic surgery to look nicer. We are talking about people with serious, painful, life altering conditions that your ominpotent deity could cure with no effort at all. People with awful tumors covering their bodies. People with severe mental diseases who can't function or take care of themselves. People with cerebral palsy, autism, Down's Syndrome, etc....
What you don't seem to get is that the world functions exactly as we would expect if there is no loving deity. Everything makes sense in this context. However, if there is a loving deity, then the world makes NO sense. Unless your deity is incompetent or a retard.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
