i respect that's your beliefs, but it never ceases to amaze me the excuses people make for their god, ok here's one i'd like to see someone make an excuse for, why.... just simply why would some high deity that obviously expresses human emotion (as told by your book) create all this, leave billions over the years to suffer and not do a damn thing to intervene? what could your god hope to gain from watching alooooooooooooooooooooooot of lesser creatures roam the 'earth he made' and 'learn spirtiual lessons' he's all knowing all wise (according to yal) and he can do anything he absolutely feels like. so why, even if you ever did prove your god is real, i'd still never worship him. know why? cuz it just seems like he enjoys playing 'doll house' just a little bit too much. according to yal he gives to US, so i'll ask again, what could he hope to gain from this all? he can't gain wisdom he has it, can't gain wealth he doesn't need it, can't gain companionism becasue no one's ever seen or talked to him. so about the only thing possible left for him to gain from it all (given the circumstances) is entertainment.... and if your god is entertained by death, famine, plague, heartache, pain, struggle, heinous crimes, and suffering, well then he's not so mighty in my mind and i want nothing to do with him.
