How do you guys reconcile an all loving god with millions of starving children in Africa? I've always wondered how you pull that one off and keep your faith?

Maybe he just doesn't love Africans.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Nice to know that even if a theist could offer a convincing proof of a god's existence, they still would not be able to agree on what that god wants of us. Frankly I appreciate having that out in the open. I've been on forums where the theist participants collude to present a unified front and mildly chide each other if either transgresses the terms of their pact.

By the way, a convincing proof of a god's existence would have to begin with an explicit definition of what a god is exactly, something I've never been clear on.
