One sentence that throws the problem of evil out of the window.
RE: One sentence that throws the problem of evil out of the window.
You know...someone once expressed astonishment that I could "get" religious people to say the sorts of shit they do in response to me, here on the boards.  Long time back and in another thread.  Can't remember who.  I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't.  As I suggested a few pages back....regardless of whether any of this horrid shit actually is true, religious people want it to be true.  They're palpably waiting for an opportunity to say the sorts of shit that any decent person would have the presence of mind to keep to themselves.   

All you have to do is hand them a megaphone and cheer them on.

@Mystic

It seems that gods grace and help didn't amount to much, then...huh? Somehow we managed to improve the design, lowly worms that we are. Some god. Some design. This is the "willing but not capable" conclusion of the PoE. Sure, he wanted it to be better..he tried...he moved on it like a bitch......but he just couldn't get there.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
