I like Pierce Anthony's theory on it in his Incarnations of Immortality series. He shows that since god is so good he cannot look on evil. And since he is the only thing in the universe good enough for him to look at, he is trapped in a narcissistic contemplation of himself and cannot see anything beyond his mirror into which he gazes eternally.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
