I still derive simple pleasure from the fact that god is dog backwards.
I have no fucking idea what a YEWHAY is though!!
It's "Yeehaw", being pronounced awkwardly when someone's too drunk to speak coherently.

Life is more of a simulation that acts as a filter; the breaking point between good and bad. The good pass; while the bad fails the filter.
It's not that God is "busy"; or "doesn't care"; but it's how he created life. If the filter was ever going to work; we must take the freedom of choice.
The tools for killing are always present; the way to do it is also present; the way not to belief is also present. Always we're surrounded by tools to make us sin. Still; God do intervene all the time to make us sleep; or to make us be rich; or to save us from a vicious attack.
Later; nobody will claim they never got their chance; everybody had their chance. And everybody chose where to be; at which side.
I somehow seem to get the same kind of responses from Muslims than I do from Xtians on here. Maybe there's a reason for that.
Here's the problem with your statement, and I'm going to try to be uncharacteristically civil because it angers me that you can believe the things you're saying. Just understand that.
The fact that your god decided to create life this way is the proof that said god is an unjust, cruel, callous monster if he exists at all. I created an idealized version that nobody could object to in another thread, and your idea does not even come close to measuring up to that one. Free will, or this freedom of choice you are deluded about, is not a thing. Firstly, we were never given a choice about whether to exist. That infringes upon our ability to say whether we want to opt out of this insane choice of eternal damnation or eternal paradise (neither of which is actually distinguishable since you won't be the same 'you' undergoing it from all indications). Further, we lack perfect knowledge of this god and this god's rules, and without informed consent we are not allowed to make the actual choices we would under those conditions. Finally, if we knew about the carrot-and-stick of heaven and hell, that is absolutely coercion of the worst sort and is a terrible infringement upon our free will. So please, never, ever, EVER use that terrible, absolutely stupid and immoral argument again, EVER.
Not to mention, this god does not seem interested in saving young girls from being raped on a regular basis, and frankly I'd take a few sleepless nights to ensure that he had time to rescue them. So I guess I'm more morally sound than your idea of your horrible evil monster god. Throw in the fact that we are designed this way, with a reptilian brain that drives us towards our baser instincts (which religion has absolutely no way of curbing, either protesting TOO much or encouraging things like tribalistic violence) and yet are still condemned for it makes the deck completely stacked and yet god takes none of the responsibility for this. He is inept, cowardly, and unethical in every possible respect and yet has the gall to claim to be above all. That is simply intolerable and I cannot look upon you with anything but contempt for believing in, worshiping, and spreading the faith in this god.
I don't expect this to have any impact upon you because of what your religion has done to your mental state but just know that you are not any kind of person who has any business making any statements of morality or truth.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
