God often waits until the situation is looking hopeless so that only He can get the glory.

If God is seeking glory, then he is prideful, and, therefore, not perfect
Which leads to the question, Why does god seek glory? and from whom?
"Hey Anubis, Thor, check this shit out!"
"Ugh...what does Yahweh wanna show us this time?"
When I was younger, I would sometimes do that in my dungeons & dragons games. But as I grew up I found that it was better for everyone to have a share in the glory. Saving the whole group with an awesome intervention makes you feel pretty good, but when everybody is being awesome, well that's the games you remember as purely owning whatever Big Bad Evil Guy the DM sent against you.
I guess Hovind's god is simply akin to a twelve year old with narcissistic traits.
nice advice from Jesus to Martha though - all you have to do is sit with me, the chores will do themselves. She'd already been told off for asking for help in the kitchen, now she's told not to bother doing it herself - "god will provide"
Yep! I see a lot of that going on in the world! (and wouldn't JC and his followers have been a bit pissed if they hadn't been fed - HE showed no sign of getting off his arse and "providing"
In the real world they call that "being an asshole boss".
Looked at the front page of cseblogs... I don't think the entire indie rock scene for the last fifteen years can match that level of pretentious twaddle. I mean seriously -- presuming to talk to god has got to be one of the most egotistical literary devices ever created. (And I've read Peter Kreeft... assuming the voice of Socrates to push Christian values sounds clever when you're a Christian, but is inexcusably presumptuous if you're not.)

Trouble is, he frequently appears to leaves it too late and it ends up looking like he never even lifted a finger. At which point his scumbag glee club crawl out from under their respective rocks and start claiming that the victims 'had it coming'.
It's funny how Divine intervention, when it comes, looks just like natural events. God is obsessed with getting the glory, but at the same time, He's very shy about it.

Fanatic-Templar: Throw in sadism, megalomania, and rampant control freakishness, and I'd say you're pretty much spot on.
That means that God is an inattentive father.
...Or a colossal dicksock who likes watching the people who love him suffer just so that he can swoop in and come to the rescue just in time to get all the glory.
In either case, it comes to equal God Is A Dick.
Meanwhile, Kent waits in his current hopeless situation so that he can get his daily assrape by Bubba.
Keep dropping that soap, Kentypoos!
If there is someone who's all-powerful, and whose love for each and every one of us is infinite, shouldn't He do something quick and early before the situation gets out of hand? No? Maybe there's no such thing.
Confused?
