Thor Wrote:...did your "loving" deity also give us plague, malaria, influenza, smallpox, diptheria, tuberculosis, internal parasites, ticks, mosquitos, lice and poisonous snakes?Shouldn't you also mention man's malevolent nature? There are people who kill and harm other people. If you mention all these harmful forces in your laundry list, then how about man? Shouldn't man's deadly nature also be included to demonstrate an inconsistency with the existence of a loving deity?
What about accidents? People fall and and break their necks, die, etc. Shouldn't you mention accidents as a sign there's no God?
While you're at it, you might as well mention mistakes. People make mistakes and lose their jobs, driving privileges, even life.
In fact, by your logic, everything negative and tragic that occurs contradicts a loving deity. God could only exist if we lived in a perfect world without harmful creatures or foods, man's evil nature, accidents, mistakes, or tragic events!

Thor Wrote:And if the inventors of the smart phone explained to me how it worked I would understand it! See how it works? But you want to believe that your deity's reasons for allowing horrors to inflict us is so complex that we wouldn't understand it if he explained it to us...The point is that God is not going to come down and explain every intricacy of his complex world. If people tried to figure it themselves, they would get the same result you would get if you tried to figure out the smart phone on your own.
