OFC he does. His god lives inside his head. Who else would speak for him if drich wouldn;t.
Do I see a paradox between a loving god and a god that allows bad things to happen..or, at least doesn;t do anything when they do? No. I see people who love either allowing bad things to happen or being incap[able of preventing them from happening. The saving grace, in their case..is that they would if they could - that they at least love even though they can;t make al;l the bad things go away. "Paradoxes" like these aren;t really a problem for me, because I;m not a believer, theyre a problem for believers...but only insomuch as they cant stand to admit that every mythology contains inconsistency.
Insisting that god actually doesnt love, but is somehow benevolent doesn;t escape this particular complaint in any case..so you;ve tied your scrotum into a knot for no good god damned reason and I again point out that others feel no need to do so. Your own personal jesus is an inconsistent dick....amd other peoples personal jesus are also commonly inconsistent..but at least they love.

Do you see? a loving God by the defination of loving can't that = paradox paradox= no god in a closed mind. So then what are the options? look at the word loving, is it a valid interpertation of the word the greeks used to describe that aspect of god? answer??? no. the Greeks used Agape. Agape only describes one aspect of love the part that will see you through pain and suffering the aspect that supports respect and undeserved support. so do God love? no not as you understand the word. God Agape
