A list of all of God's crimes

[genkaus]

Imagine the parade of witnesses the prosecution could bring forth!

Prosecutor: "Tell us about what happened to your child."

Witness: "Our little Billy contracted cancer when he was five. He endured unspeakable pain as his disease progressed and he died in agony two years later."

Prosecutor: "And the defendant (motions toward God), had the power to end Billy's suffering, did he not?"

Witness: "Yes. He could have cured Billy's cancer at any time with no effort whatsoever."

Prosecutor: "And did you ask the defendant to cure Billy?"

Witness: "Yes! We asked several times a day! We begged for Billy's cancer to be cured!"

Prosecutor: "And did the defendant respond to your requests in any way?"

Witness: "No, never! He never even gave us a reason why he he wouldn't cure Billy!"

Prosecutor: "So, even though your Billy was suffering terribly, and the defendant could easily cure Billy, and even though you repeatedly asked the defendant to cure Billy, the defendant did nothing. Is that correct?

Witness: "Yes!"

I can't imagine a verdict other than "Guilty!".

He won't be guilty by this argument unless it can be shown that a) he had a part in infliction of the cancer and b) he had a responsibility to respond and cure Billy. The most you can do with this witness is bring a civil suit, not a criminal one, in which case the Prosecutor would change to Plaintiff.
