It doesn't make the parents want to have children less.Most similar eh? Human beings can be hopeful to a fault, I'd wager that among those of us who possess this particular "virtue" - parents are the most grossly afflicted. I know I am, my hopes for my children are, in all likelihood, blown entirely out of proportion (I like to maintain hope that my daughter will be an olympic medalist in archery - but deep down, I know that this is impossible). Some are given dire odds, it's true, and ostensibly they hold out on that small sliver of a chance that things will be alright. Did you intend to liken your god to demonstrably flawed beings, subject and predisposed to wishful thinking, uncertain of the future or consequences of their actions in full?
Bravo. If cattle had gods, they'd look like cattle.
Quote:The demons, essentially, are the mentally challenged. They actually know God, all that he can offer, and reject his authority.As do I, for the same reasons that you would most likely reject any earthly authority with the same resume and sales pitch.
Quote:Actually, this doesn't hurt God at all. It's not like he can't poof them away.No, it doesn't hurt god, your god exists only between your ears. Course I guess that means it can't "poof away" any demons either - he has the same score on that count as he has on "poofing away" the mentally challenged......which is the only way these two things are related.
