the so fallible Bible

[John V]

Just a serious question, John.

What could you be doing instead when you're posting on this forum?

If I'm posting at work, I could be working harder so I might make more money and give it to the poor (and I say that generally - if someone wants to give to research or programs that they believe would be more beneficial, that's included in "to the poor" for purposes of this thread).

If I'm posting at home, I could be volunteering somewhere, or working a second job to further help my fellow man.

Same with most people here. The difference is that I don't take the position that allowing suffering is monstrous. My opponents could simply admit that they don't really believe that either (as clearly indicated by their actions), but they want to cling to any possible charge against a god which they don't believe exists anyway. Go figure.
