If your god was a benevolent one he wouldn't murder innocent children.

Oh oh, Here comes the innocent children angle...

If god loves us so much, he wouldn't want us to suffer. Even a pet owner puts down his animals in the most pain free method they can. Why didn't god just snap his fingers and make all of the bad ones disappear? No suffering, not drowning (probably not a pleasant way to die), just poof they're gone. THAT would have made a statement, if thousands had just poofed out of existence and the surviving would have straightened up real quick.

Actually drowning is the most peaceful way to go...

Good call. Probably why they use waterboarding as a torture method.

Really? You have got to be kidding.

I have a Navy Seal in the family, and he's done extensive underwater training which includes staying underwater past the point of breathing in water and he said it's the most terrifying thing he's ever experienced. Which includes being in live fire fights.

Are you really that clueless?

Don't forget the ellipsis - Richard's specialty....

Pretty sure it's supposed to indicate hints of a secret, never-shared wisdom - or something....

Yes, that is a tough one, isn't it Richard, when a supposedly all-powerful, benevolent God kills/tortures children for no reason.
