43.3% of those polled think that God has nothing better to do then help a shitty quarterback.

See? It's shit like this that makes me feel good about being an atheist.

I mean, if God did exist (and had the standard qualities of omniscience and omnipotence), you'd think there would be better things that he could do.

"Hey, I could return all kidnapped people to their families."

or

"Hey, I could remove all mines from civilian areas."

but no, it's apparently "Hey, let me help a quarterback who can't manage to throw a spiral most of the time win games."

Of course, I'm a bitter man, and most importantly, rational. At least, rational in that I don't ascribe Tebow's work to some invisible sky dude.

It's shit like that makes me want to beat the shit out of 43% of people.

I do not believe in the Omni-Deity type at all. But if I did? I'd want to kick THAT ass for the prolonged apparent sitting upon it.

I've maintained for years now that the best thing about not believing in a god is not having to reconcile with what an absolute shitbird said god would have to be to qualify the things that happen in the world.

If God chooses to allow evil to exist, he's not omnibenevolent.
If God wants to stop evil, but can't, he's not omnipotent.
If God can't find the evil to stop it, he's not omniscient.

Ayep.

[kierthos]

Exactly. At the very least, he could tell his marketing network (aka the churches) to stop touting him as benevolent, if he's just going to sit on his ass.

Yeah, I've told many a minister that their "heavenly father" meets my definition of "negligent" if not actually abusive.

Needless to say, they find me a very hard sale.
