>>Yes, Matt. What one *can* do and what one *does* do are two different
>>things. That is why I find the xtian god so damned abhorent. He could
>>prevent innocent children from suffering, but he choses not to. He could
>>have made himself known to everyone, and thus have saved countless
>millions
>>from the neverending torment *he* choses to impose upon those he is
>>supposed
>>to love, yet he prefers to torture his creation. He made his own son
>suffer
>>for the sins of others even though he is perfectly capable of forgiving
>>sins
>>without human sacrifice. The only reasonable conclusion to draw is that
>the
>>xtian god is a sadistic bastard who gets his jollies from human suffering.
>>If a human stands idly by while others suffer or causes others to suffer,
>>as
>>the xtian god does, we call him a heartless, inhuman monster. Perhaps we
>>should just call him God.

>>What would you do if your son/daughter was being raped by a group of men.
