Nonsequitur based on too many presumptions.

How convenient.

And disabilities, famine, disease, early death, birth defects etc. ie all the things out of our control?

No wait, let me guess... "god works in mysterious ways".

BTW, where is that aquarium of evidence you keep promising. We're getting pretty thirsty!!!
I'm asking you now, logically, why we should believe your OPINION as fact? You are making a statement, providing nothing to defend it, and claiming a victory in the argument.

That doesn't make a deity more logical.

Consider this, Cruithne. You are God to every single cellular life and biota that comprises you. How much control do you have over their individual cellular lives? When and on what basis did we decide that everything is the result of God's Will and that God MUST somehow control everything? Just asking?

Yes but I'm not claiming that God exists.

I have no reason to think we have control over our cells. We don't.

And that's kind of the point.

BUT there are MANY on here that consistently claim that God DOES control everything EXCEPT when they have to answer awkward questions about it.
Like I said, .very convenient that.

I just did. If god existed, life would be fair. It's the only rational conclusion one can make, but we know life ISN'T Fair. Ergo, no fairness, no god. It's call deductive reason.


My evidence is that so many tenants of belief are rife with "error" and mistake as to render the concept of a god farcical.


How did your supposedly-perfect creator, create such a mess. What about color blindness. God fell asleep at the machine-press did he. Oops, there's that pesky old astigmatism, and cancer, and diseases of the nerve, muscle, bone, skin and brain. Oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops, oops goes the phony-baloney "creator". Damn, another fly in my supposedly-perfect ointment. I HATE when that happens. Yah, I know what you mean.


Meanwhile, back at the evidence aquarium it's a veritable desert. Nary a drop of water in sight.

You're one who is posting opinion as if it's fact.
