I'm always amused that the "Pagan" philosopher, Celsus, had a higher opinion of god than his xristard followers!
Quote:"God does not inflict correction on the world as if he were some unskilled laborer who is incapable of building something properly the first time around; God has no need to purify what he has built by means of a flood or a conflagration (as they teach)."
Celsus c 180 AD
