It's an easy get out clause for them which is why I asked about children having diseases which are certifiably not man-made. Only 'God' could have decided that these would exist so he is responsible for creating these diseases and allowing innocent children to have them, suffer from them and potentially die from them.

The only way that it isn't God's fault for things like leukemia is if they blame evolution for f**king up our DNA, which, ya'know, ain't going to happen.
If God is the creator , is all powerful , everywhere and benevolent , forgiving , loving and kind then he's got to be responsible for ensuring kids don't die of cancer and if he can't do it he should surely ensure that mankind can do it through medicine

Christians want it both ways

God is all powerful and everywhere. If someone survives a car crash its because the family asked God to save the person by praying or God gave the doctors the knowledge through his power , to treat the person .

If the person dies its either mankind's fault , somebody has sinned or God has decided he wants to take that person into his place called heaven

A get out clause for everything

So basically God is a winner whichever way you look at it if you are a Christian . They simply will not accept analytical thought .

On a Sunday morning nicky Campbell, a Christian, presents the big question . Its all about religion basically and usually has someone from the Catholic, protestant , Anglican, Muslim, Jewish Hindu etc faith sitting down debating some nonsense and a scientist like Dawkins or his kind of enlightened sort trying to put em straight

It normally starts OK but within no time he will have them on the ropes and the tired old arguments and excuses will come out to justify their beliefs , none of them based on facts

The usual one is ........Jesus told us in the bible that ........some silly story about some such event which has no basis in fact

Or Mohammed told us this or did that ......again clearly complete fantasy


Whereas a scientist will prove to us that if we mix chemical a with chemical b it will produce chemical c which will be great for cleaning out drains but if you drink it , it will burn your throat out .........no maybe , no possibly .........a fact

The Jesus myth has been around for 2000 years

Its a fact and has been proved by carbon dating that dinosaurs 🦕 ruled the earth long before that. You would have thought they would have got a mention in the bible

But maybe that was God being a cheeky chappie again 🤔
