Your argument was a fallacious appeal to emotion, the real question behind your statement is how can a loving God allow suffering/evil. The answer is because of free will.

I didn't say that "I think god should stop all suffering". I said that the god who controls all, according to you, is therefore also zapping out miscarriages millions of times per day from the supernatural realm, despite the free will of the mother-to-be who wants the child. In what sense am I appealing to emotion. Factually god if he controls all events is overriding free will. Or would you argue miscarriages are natural events?
Quote:You're acting like the inductive poe is watertight, and its not.....How can an inductive argument be watertight. I never made this claim. However you have asserted The FWD eradicated the PoE. You are the one claiming watertightness. I'm pointing out where it isn't. Try and turn the tables if you wish but strawmanning etc will not get you off the hook. Go ahead let's hear how the FWD is a watertight shut down of the PoE.
