Just a great big "Fuck You" from god.
That is certainly a decent refutation of a loving God, he cared so much that he didn't want to prevent, or failed to prevent all those deaths, both military and civilian. I wouldn't hire such an inept or malicious being to baby sit my kid. Expecially when he allegedly asks us to go to our deaths when he can fight his own battles, otherwise it kinda fucks up the concept of "all powerful" as a claimed attribute.
Oh, and I did have a friend who served ine Europe(not the invasion itself) but in Europe in combate during WW2 who was an atheist then, and died an atheist a few years ago.
AND Pat Tilman gave his life as an atheist in the military in Afghanistan.
AND their are pleanty of other atheists in the military.

So God has got to be in this context a deadbeat skitzo who will even take help for something he could do himself, from even atheists.
Not to mention all the unfortunate Jews who were murdered at the hands of a sicko. But because it was all part of God/Yahweh's divine plan, we shouldn't complain as humans.
How anyone can look at any form of violence and claim a loving god has got to be out of their mind. I know people do it all the time, even people I love. But their logic in allowing themselves to swallow such tripe makes me want to pull my hair out.
No sane parent would baby sit their kid the way God says "I love you" and "I can protect you" in the seliective deadbeat inept mannor this allegid god seems to.
