And of course, an oldie, but always a goodie:
God doesn't prevent terrible things because:
1) He can't
2) He doesn't want to
3) He causes them
4) He doesn't exist.
Which one do you think is the right answer?
5) He gives man free will.
6) Some people deserve punishment.
#6 = #3. Also, fuck those starving African children. They never heard of God, so they deserve those horrible deaths, right?
As for #5, if God knows everything that happened, is happening, and will happen, then everything that will happen is already predetermined, and despite the illusion of "free will," god already knows who will sin and go to hell, and who will not, even for those who aren't born yet. So why the charade? Why not just stop sinners from being born in the first place, if he knows he's just going to torture them for ever?
