Divine Hiddenness

[Brian37]

"Interferes with peoples choices"?

Really? Tell me what choice Polly Klass or Adam Wash had when monsters kidnapped raped and butchered them? Are you arguing God had no power at all to prevent that, keep that in mind knowing most theists describe their deity as "all powerful".

So the "choices" of the monsters who murdered those kids was more important than the welfare of the kid to this alleged God?

I've also never understood when theists claim when a loved one dies, for whatever reason, natural, accident, crime or war, why the theists cries. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand, why mourning happens without the superstitious explanations. But if one's logic is that your dead loved one is in a better pace, then why are you crying? If my family member or friend won the lottery, why would I bitch?

"God" can only be described as the supernatural script writer. And while this alleged being can as claimed, adjust his script on a whim, it still remains that if we go by the omni claims, nothing we do as humans can ultimately change anything. If one insists on defending "omni" then ultimately humans can only be relegated to the status of lab rat, toys, poker chips. 

The world's worst dictators can also display seeming compassion, but that "compassion" is always dependent on blind loyalty. Hitler and Stalin and Po Pot and Castro all rewarded loyalists. And the omni God concept is no different. God is an authoritarian, and he will treat you well as long as you don't step out of line or question.

It’s not a case of whether God has the power to prevent horrible acts, it’s whether he desires to do so. The problem of evil isn’t really an argument against the existence of God, it’s an argument against Divine Providence.

And for the teenth time, it’s Pol Pot.
