the so fallible Bible

[John V]

So are you giving up all your excess wealth like your lord and savior Jesus said to do, or do you claim it's not monstrous to allow suffering?

I claim it's not monstrous to allow suffering.

And again, I am not an all-powerful deity, but if I were I'd end all unnecessary suffering.

So you care about suffering, but only if it doesn't really cost you anything. Quite admirable.

The fact that your deity doesn't means he is either not all-powerful or else evil.

Or that he has his own purposes for allowing it. He shouldn't need much of a purpose to get a pass, as many atheists here think getting drunk or high or buying a new video game is an adequate reason to allow suffering.
