Yet it's an inconsistent argument to wheel out an Almighty being when they all want to blame someone for mutations, disease, disasters etc etc, while the rest of the time God doesn't even exist in their economy?

Rather than them make childlike assumptions that God can't exist because bad things happen, why won't they do the scientific thing and look at the root of why and when those things started to happen?

But god is all powerful and omnipresent according to Christians

So either he is omnipresent and all powerful but let's poor little kids die young from awful diseases ......so he's a right git as he could stop this

Or he's not all powerful and he isn't omnipresent and doesn't actually exist

Ok, at last you are engaging the issue head on.

Yes the God that you propose could stop whatever He chose to, however God has many attributes, and He cannot switch them on and off just to accommodate us. That's called making a god in our image (or to our requirements).

Let's just look at 2 of his attributes. God is Love, He is also Just.

So God is love he wants to connect with us, however as you know from your dealings with people, love MUST include choice, including the choice to walk away and reject someone. If God had programmed us to simply obey his every whim, that would not be love, that would just make us drones.

Mankind made his choice and rebelled against God - God warned man of the consequences (death, disease, disaster) yet like most people on this board, man decided he knew better and went his own way. Now man is unhappy with the result of his choice; and ALSO rejects God's rescue plan found in the person of Jesus, deciding just to have 'Jesus' as his favourite swear word instead!

Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"
