The Strong Horse

[phank]

I would have a harder time answering, that if the Christian God does exist, why haven't Las Vegas and San Francisco, and Hollywood, and , (well, probably most of America) gone up in a blaze of fire and brimstone.

There is more to this question than appears on the surface. IF the Christian god existed and answered prayers, it would be like the courts deciding in favor of BOTH sides in every case, paradoxes galore, contradictions right and left, reality complely incoherent, miracles popping up every which way. Indeed, sanity itself would be a victim if ANY explanation of ANYTHING required a supernatural component of any kind.

you are "projecting", ...but not of yourself, but of man in general.
Bible-God may have created man in His image, but not THAT much.

IOW, we are not talking fallible HUMAN judges.

Bible-God would be the perfect judge, and His decisions would be the best of all possible verdicts,
(being a mind reader helps)

....IOW, it doesn't do me any good to complain every time the verdict does not go my way.
...but that never stopped me before of course.

***SUBJECT CHANGE***SUBJECT CHANGE***SUBJECT CHANGE

who knows if there are miracles galore or not.
Bible-God is subtle.

....lest "That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them"

.............I know, it sucks.
