C'mom, nobody's going to feed a troll that easily. We all know you're itching for a cue to start in with the comparisons to Santa and fairies at the bottom of the garden. However, if we weren't convinced you're a troll, we could suggest better responses. For example, a good response would be to compare biblical sources compared to the Brothers Grimm, who we know for sure are modern story tellers.

But the fundamental question is, why are you so rude in the first place? Why not make an intelligent and thoughtful challenge to religion? There are many possible challenges to religion that are intelligent and thoughtful. But apparently you're too lazy to do any actual thinking, beyond cheap insults.

Could you give an example of an intelligent and thoughtful challenge to religion?[/quote]

Sure. Here's just one. Ask why a loving God would allow one people to massacre another. (But not on this thread, because, really. Start your own thread.)

Then, actually listen to the answer. I suspect that for you, listening is going to be even harder than cutting and pasting the question above.[/quote]

I'm not religious.  But if you are God, knowing that this human life is but an instant in the existence of an eternal soul, then the earthly death of individuals is not such a big deal, right?  Even terrible torture is only temporary.  Look at how God's own son suffered.  Look at the story of Job.

I actually agree with you - it's baffling to me that people think God cares who wins a football game, but would allow the Holocaust.  But to a religious person, even suffering and death have a place in God's plan, do they not?  [/quote]
