People want to keep God out of Government, out of schools, out of court houses. No brainer!!

We cant blame God every time a something goes wrong.
Example: A child gets killed, maybe hit by a car while playing in the street.
Sometimes the life's or life changed is a not even the person affected.
Why is it that it is god saving a child's life whose about to be hit by a car but gets miraculously (sp?) saved, but not god responsible for the child who gets hit by the car and dies?
"We cant blame god every time something goes wrong", but we can attribute everything that goes right to god? Thats completely illogical, it's just taking the best things and ignoring the worst things. I know you understand that.

And what I mean by intervene, is come down from the heavens and talk to people in reality, like he apparently did in the bible. I don't mean random acts of kindness or miracles, I mean actually come down and talk to people, not in their heads, but in their sight. Why did he do that in the bible, but never since? It's all very well for you to say god intervenes every day, but it is just as likely, if not infinitely more likely, that those random things - a child being hit by a car and dying, or being amazingly saved in surgery - are just that: random things, not acts of god.

Of course people want to keep god out of court cases, religion is no excuse. God is no excuse. What place does god have in the legal system?

And I don't understand how someone can be all loving, and yet order people to brutally kill homosexuals, or tell them to sell their daughters into slavery. How is that all-loving?
