    Wouldn't it be more to the point to assume god forced the earthquake or hurricane to some end only known to god?
    Forcing something to happen and not intervening are two different things.

    i believe evolution is simply the how our creator maintains the perfect balances..as for the evil in the world.."free will" and the resoning is all the what ifs?Since your created in Gods image your are going to try to figure out every thing.Even the devil believes in God,but its real easy for a god like being to deny a higher power.

    I am happy not to have been relieved of the need to believe in such a god or God, it's the same to me, your God is just another god that happen to have attracted a few billion followers for a few thousand years which while I'll give them kudo's for longevity, does not in any way mean they (Christians) are any more special than any other religion. I think Ch ...[text shortened]... es self what is right and wrong without the need to reference it all to a 'God'.
    The words God and god I believe speak to just what I said, I do see
    your point, it is all the same to you, but for me it is like saying
    'ducks or duck' and saying that is the word duck and the word ducks
    are the same thing to you too. It doesn't add much to the discussion,
    on much other than when giving credit to god or blame to god, makes
    me think of one of many period, while God on the other hand is
    very specific and can only mean the one and only God.

    I give no blame to your god since all of the stories are just made up by men to control people, build up a power base and make a financial empire. Christianity has succeeded quite well in that for sure.
    The human race will never get much beyond its present state of development until it throws off the shackles of organized religion.
    Religions keep mankind in a permanent state of childhood, which you of course see as a good thing. I see it as a disastrous sign of immaturity.

    There is only ONE GOD, atheists are immature if they don't Believe in God, that their parents talked about (hopefully) than there is some problems.
