God is a whole lot smarter than we humans are. While we struggle over basic calculus problems, He’s managing every atom in existence. Given the obvious difference in our intellects, it’s a bit obnoxious for us to decide for God that sexual assault can have no possible benefit. Obviously He thinks it does, because He’s making it happen all the time in this world.

...Diehl, you need professional help. I mean it. Behavior and beliefs like this aren't healthy.
But to talk about your statement itself, it doesn't matter how "smart" your god is, intelligence and morals aren't the same. A hyperintelligent being that condones abuse and sexual assault is an amoral monster regardless of its intelligence.
And if god's morals are inferior to man's then it deserves neither worship nor obedience. MIGHT DOES NOT MAKE RIGHT!! No. Matter. What.
In that vein, God also must think that war, starvation, poverty, murder, and disease have benefits.
Not all of us struggle with basic calculus.
So let me get this straight: basically, "god" is behind everything that happens? So much for free will then...
"While we struggle over basic calculus problems, He’s managing every atom in existence."
A guy asked God: "Can you tell me your availability to manage a football team in Sheffield?"
God said: "I can't manage Wednesday!"
"God is a whole lot smarter than we humans are. While we struggle over basic calculus problems, He’s managing every atom in existence."
...yet he can't make insects with the correct amount of legs, thus proving Evolution even if he did create them. according to what is said in the Bible. Or it was written by mathematically ignorant Bronze Age goatfuckers with ideas above their stations.
And I've yet to see him build a wheel on the basis of his own 'Word' which states that Pi = exactly three - when the ancient Greeks calculate Pi to 75 decimal places - further proving that said Bronze Age goatfuckers with ideas above their stations knew diddly-squat about maths: also conclusively proving that, as the Bible is purely a book of fairytales written by men , therefore the fundies' 'God' doesn't exist.
So when 'Annie' here is reduced to non-sequiturs (what the fuck does maths have to do with rape ?!) 'her' ignorance is writ large.
@Malingspann
Well, Sean Bean is [i]united[/i] in his support for another football team in Sheffield.
Meanwhile, Annie's 'God' must be smiling on Hull City; keep this up, and you'll get back in the Premier League. Sucks to be you right now, eh Mourinho?! Still, you & Chelsea are proof that all great powers fall. No Exceptions. >:D
Call it sweet revenge for you knocking Hull City off the top of the Premier League (for one brief moment, we were Numero Uno! ) several years ago.
So God is a serial rapist by proxy?
You would think that a being with the ability to create the entire universe would be able to get the atoms to work by themselves instead of having to spend His time micromanaging them all. Even the 17-year-old manager at the local fast-food franchise knows how to train and delegate.
At the end of the day, there is no difference between athiests and Fundamentalist views of God. We both see him as a narcissistic, power mad, juvenile sociopath with cosmic power( hell, at least Galactus was apologetic for fucking over the universe.) But the difference is that athiest and agnostics don't even believe in his shiny ass, fundies glorify and worship him.Its an abusive relationship and they don't even question why they worship him and justify his actions because they're afraid of what he'll do. And it's all the more pitiful because he's just a mythological character. The only difference between them and some weird crazy fanboy who builds a shrine to cthulhu and calls on him to curse thier enemies is that theres 1.5 billion of them. If Lucifer were the rebel son of any other abusive father, he's be a damn hometown hero, but to much of western society, he's a villain.Torturing countless people is appallingly evil, all powerful entity or not,and we have to remember that these fundies aren't really evil, or arrogant, or hateful, there just scared, like a little kid who hides his head under the blanket to stave off the boogeyman.The stupidity and exploitation from their leaders is inexcusable, but for the masses, we rational thinkers need to remain compassionate. So when some religious dumbass tries to start to an argument with you, don't blow up at him,just ask him why he really worships God.
While we struggle over basic calculus problems
Speak for yourself. Calculus is easy, Go give trigonometry a try if you want a moderate challenge.
Obviously He thinks it does, because He’s making it happen all the time in this world.
No, that just makes him an evil asshole who can stop that shit, but doesn't, or can't.
@EG: "So much for free will then.."
Anna Diehl is a diehard Calvinist. They think the idea of free will goes against God's omnipotence, so of course it doesn't apply. God condemns some people to hell and others to heaven for no other reason but caprice. Modern Calvinism tries to tapdance around this ugliness but the foundations are there in Calvin's Institutions for anyone to read.
By that logic, your God also thinks abortion, homosexuality, atheism and all that other stuff you Fundies DNT like serves a purpose, so stop bitching about it.
Also Diehl, I can name several serial killers who are quite squarely in the 'genius' category, does that mean we should all go murder dark haired college girls since Bundy obviously knew better than us average IQs?
@Reynardine
Bundy's prefferred victims were young women with long, dark hair parted in the centre, there were some exceptions to this (such as the 12 year old just after the dormitory massacre) but for the most part he definately had a type.
No it isn't. It, according to your logic, created you. Also, you're a man.
And just because you struggle with calculus?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
