I've often used this when arguing with believers. Your god loves us so much we can't comprehend it, but he'll toss you into a firepit for all eternity merely because you didn't believe he exists? It makes no sense! Of course, believers will rationalize this away, usually with some malarkey about how, since we are mortals, we can't comprehend "God".
Yeah, right...
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
