In various parts of the world he has allowed thousands to die in wars over who's god is best.

All over the world he has allowed children to be born into a life of pain and suffering with debilitating and horrendously painful diseases and deformities.

He sat back and watched many hundreds of thousands die in want and poverty whilst fat-cats gorged themselves with luxuries.

That's just some of the things he has done today. In fact, he does the same every day....assuming for the sake of the discussion that he exists of course!

Great points, Rafius

But, of course, the sheeple will continue to worship their alleged 'great' god...

On the planet? Does 'me' count?
He opened me to hours of sobbing...again experiencing the pain
that is His ecstasy...again showing me there is no good, no evil, no duality...
there is that only from the silly limited perspective of the wordly mind.

I know... not many relate...crying, experiencing what God feels ?...I know....but
it happens to me often.

yes indeed, all that gratitude, all that joy, all that peace, all that love, all that recognition that all is well regardless of appearances, and the song of the spheres sings its lovely music, enfolding us in its sweet embrace, honey from the rock indeed.

Quite! Seems he's more concerned with finding someone's car keys or finding someone a parking place than he is in saving people from starvation.

I don't think many people died of hunger today in, say, Norway, or Belgium, or Germany, or Iceland. In fact I don't think anybody died at all. And these nations are much poorer in resources than Africa. The difference is that some are willing to build a world of order out of chaos, and some prefer to live in chaos.

Ouch, that sort of comment always makes me cringe, too.

It's kinda hurtful, truth be told. It pretty much says, "God loves me more."

Argh, why do people not think before they speak.
