It's more like this, however, Shell B; your mother or father would not and will not constantly get you out of problems you yourself have created, would they? If you did something that put you in terrible debt and it was all your fault, would you expect your parents to 'wave their hands and make it go away'? This is what Atheists ask of God, and it does not work like that. Then you do not learn anything from your mistakes aside from 'Mommy and Daddy will get me out of anything I mess up on.'
In this case, of course, it is God who refuses to 'wave His hand and make it go away.' He isn't going to make war go away because He didn't create war; WE DID. He isn't going to make poverty go away because He didn't create poverty; WE DID. If He made it all 'just go away', then we would learn nothing and experience nothing, and we would continue to make the same mistakes we have in the past over and over again.
Btw, Godhead- I will look over the David Icke stuff you mentioned when I have access to a computer that can run it, but for now I'm going to have to hold off answering you.
