This kind of simpleton logic also "proves" the police don't exist neither.
Riiiiiiight.....
except that the police are not worshipped by millions, and don't claim to be all knowing and all powerful (they only are supposed to enforce the law you know...); you comparing your gawd to the police doesn't say much about you, or your god.

And your complaining won't prevent it from happening again.
So, what do you intend on doing about it?

So, you are assigning gods to people.
Does that make you all-knowing?

and perhaps the really ironic thing is that the nun we are all talking about who got so cruelly and unjustly treated is possibly right now not only NOT crying out to God in reproach for not protecting her from the whole thing but is instead thanking God for allowing her to survive AND also praying for the people who hurt her in the first place !!!

hopefully our faith and love will be as strong when we are unkindly treated by the world and hurt by others for no good reason.

A 70-year-old nun gets gang-raped and you use the "Cool" emoticon? What the hell is wrong with you?

You sound like one of those Atheists who are mad at God. Strange.

Drover, assume you referring to me and also assume you really didn't read my comment and associated kudos referring to "GodofThunders" post (and for that matter, my comment 35 immediately before yours) which most definitely is NOT about approving an innocent nun being brutal attacked---my beef is with those who did this horrific deed and my disagreement is with those who apparently ultimately want to blame God (which they don't believe in anyway) for what happened instead of the very human (and cowardly and wicked ones at that) perps.

Nun, 70, gang raped in India, officials say - CNN.com

My question is: Why do you continue to discuss something you do not believe in?
You do realize that every time you discuss God or anything about God you are glorifying him and acknowledging his existence right?

You will never understand, even when explained to you in detail because you do not want to understand.
Why would you though, you don't need to understand something or someone you don't believe in yet continue to acknowledge exists, right?
