Rather than god having a perfect plan for everyone some christians are starting to believe that there is a war going on between good and evil. As a result, everything pleasent that happens is the work of god and everything bad that happens is the work of the devil and throughout that struggle they believe they're expected to utilize their free will in order to remain in god's good grace. It's kind of annoying cuzz then even the most horrific catastrophes can be acredited to satin rather than god's negligence. (Even though he's supposed to be all powerful...)
They also can never explain why God would create a difficult to fight enemy for himself, meaning both Satan and evil in general. If he was just up for a bit of competitive sport being bored after eons of nothing to do, it would be stupid for him to put his beloved children at risk of eternal torture from the sport.

Sometimes I think God's not very bright.

You are correct Smile Blessed be the cheeseburgers... for I have the lot of them.
You are right though in that the burger can't actually be the cheese. I meant something more like how the burger and cheese both taste good either alone or separate, and so they don't really contradict each other. I prefer the cheese alone out of the 3 choices, especially if real butter is used on the bread, and a thick layer of havarti is used with spices or herbs of whatever my mood dictates in place of the usual processed cheese slice. Yum.
