But then stuck his middle finger up at all those who drown in flood desperately praying for a lifeboat.
The argument from incomplete devastation hasn't reared its head in a while.
God is the ultimate plagiarist, accepting with no grace the achievements of mankind, yet refusing to offer the knowledge he "gives" to mankind in the fields of medicine to the thousands of generations that preceded those whom did invent it.
It was man who made the lifeboat, our empathy which manned it, and our social responsibility which funded it.
Accepting all the good in the world, and pretending the suffering has nothing to do with him, is NOT gods most endearing trait you realise.
If God is responsible for sending the lifeboat, then he must also accept responsibility for the flood in the first place.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
