I'm back. Sooner than I said I would. Had a good break from listening to endless bullshit.
I know how people question their faith due to people's suffering. If god could of prevented it, he should if he is to be at all moral or decent. Failure to do so would either mean he can but won't which would mean he isn't all loving, can't and so doesn't which means he isn't all powerful or he doesn't know which means he isn't all knowing.
I used to suffer from asthma and badly, but thankfully I grew out of it. As time went by my asthma slowly died off. I once had to go to hospital since it was that bad. I'd still run, bike and swim even if that caused it. I didn't want it to control me.
Now a young lass that I know of who was about my age has asthma but hers is far stronger than mine. In fact, just about anything triggers her asthma. Now what I couldn't bare was to watch her suffer. If this is gods idea of perfection then I'm not impressed. I was feeling terribly guilty watching her suffer. I no longer have asthma but she does. Turns out, her asthma may be a permanent thing for her. I desperately wanted to help her out but there was nothing I could do to help. If god exists and is how theists describe the twat, then surely he could just click his fingers and help her out. That convinced me more than anything that if god is real, he is far from all loving. Even if he was proven to be real, I wouldn't worship the git.
Turns out, the lass was a theist.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
