Every living thing dies because God lets them die when he could stop it. No matter when or how we die God could have stopped it, but he allows it.

Almost as though "he" isn't there, isn't it?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I don't believe you. If I was a believer, I'd have to suffer fools, like you... Tongue

Unless you consider the part that he could stop it or the part that he created everything. There's where we differ Stimbo.

Is that the most parsimonious explanation, or merely a rationalisation?

Well, I'm not multiplying entities beyond necessity, so there's that.

RE: A Loving God
Let's see....

all loving god creates a external place of damnation I.E. Hell <- Automatic disqualification for all loving status
-- let's not forget the OT-- Second death <- not all loving either it is Malevolent.
want's humans to love him more than their own family
want's humans to kill for him
want's 24/7 attention I.E. prayer
allows for suffering

god is all loving *sarcasm*

The bible is jaded, and most of it pagan, so get educated...
