Therefore anything that seems to be detrimental to us, i.e. god's lack of parenting skills, can simply be explained away as god having a good reason for it, because god knows things that we don't know.
This is the fallback position for the godtards when they don't have an explanation for anything.
"Why does God sit by and do nothing while children die of cancer?"
"God knows things we don't and he has reasons that we can't comprehend."
Translation: I don't have any idea, but I have to reconcile reality with my belief in a loving god somehow.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
