[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I hate when people use other people's tragedies as a doubter talking point. Talk to someone who has really seen some shit about how God shepherded them through something awful, like Larry Nassar victim Rachael Denhollander. [/quote]

Why didn't god shepherd them to avoid it completely?

What would you do if you were god?

I bet you would do it differently.  I know I would.[/quote]
Wow. God created the world and all that is in it. And you're even wiser than [i]He[/i] is. You must be really something. I wish I knew you.[/quote]

You miss the point.

I would not create eye-burrowing worms, for one example:

I do not think I am wiser than a true god would be.  Yet I would be wise enough to not create these, but they exist.  Therefore, there is no god and so "he" did not create anything.[/quote]
No, I fully get your point. You cannot conceive of a wisdom higher than your own; therefore, there cannot be a being wiser than you. Because you think something is unwise, that makes it categorically unwise. You are the arbiter of whether something you think is unwise is wise. And because you cannot conceive that something you think unwise might be wise to a higher being, you also are the arbiter of the faulty logic that there cannot be a higher being because you yourself cannot conceive of such a being. You made your point quite well.[/quote]
