Why "mysterious ways" don't matter.

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Just as with any philosophy, competing religious views must be scrutinized, compared, and one needs to decide which view is more plausible.

To date, to us, none of them.

When we say things like 'why would god do x?', we are not questioning this god, we are questioning its believers; you. We parody your beliefs to poke holes in them. We do not assign them any value.
