"God simply opened the door to let him run" or was it Satan opening the flood gates, either way you admit the existence God.

Here is a quote for you to ponder.

"Your good and my good, perhaps they are different, and either forced good or forced evil will make a people cry with pain."

btw... the offspring of a donkey, mare or camel is called a foal or colt - a bosal comes from the Arabian desert, imported by the Spanish and then to the Spanish American Vaquero, for them it was only the 1st stage training aid of a spade bit horse. A totally useless animal compared to an east coast reiner. The Arab version had one rope rein on the left side.

Ahem, Feel like avoiding that question do we.

First of all your contention is that the God of the bible doesn't exist, and in fact, you are god. So are you then saying about Hitler, that it was you that "opened the door and let him run"

Question, granting for momentary arguments sake, the non-existence of God, yet acknowledgment on your part, that evil exists. How do you propose to deal with Mr Sheklegruber. (I wonder if that means he was also cheap?) Anyway, In your universe you are god, yet evil persists. Why haven't you done anything? Put the grapes down and deal with the real world for a moment. Where is justice? As far as comparing kids mocking a Prophet, to Hitler's atrocities, I think it's eminently fair. Since you deem it advantageous to your position to cite something you deem as relatively minor in an obviously flawed attempt to discredit God, then it is fair for me to use the same type of reasoning from the other end of the extreme to point out that you have no answers to evil at any point in the continuum. Make up your mind whether God exists or not, if not then stop blaming this non existent being for all your troubles and tell us where you come up with these transcendent standards you want to hold every one to. Your long on dumping on God, but rather short on the alternatives. Enlighten us, oh toothless one.
