But....but, Bobbie, Yahweh doesn't make mistakes! That's why he was "repented"(regretful) that he made man, which of course, this left Yahweh with one and only one choice: to DROWN everyone and start over. But don't worry, he promises never to drown anyone ever again!
Since his existence is only academic, I'm more worried about republican greedmongers than I am worried about god's future plans for us ... do you think when sea levels rise due to global warming they will say it was god's will?
"do you think when sea levels rise due to global warming they will say it was god's will?"
Well, considering that they don't believe in things like "global warming", it's hard to predict what they'll say. You'd think that rising sea levels would be evidence enough to prove them wrong. But then again, there's evidence that we evolved from lower life forms and that the earth is billions of years old, and look... they don't believe that, so, there ya go...
BTW, positing that "God did it" as an answer for something is bad reasoning for at least two reasons: 1) because it doesn't actually answer jack-squat until/unless you know how "God did it", and 2) it makes people, a) content with not knowing, and b) incurious.
I gotta say .. the statement "It's God's will" always scared the crap out of me from a young age ... because it was usually the answer to "why did (insert name of relative/friend/pet have to die?"
knowing that God could pick off whoever for whatever whimsical reason he might have always seemed insanely punitive to me going back to my Sunday school days ... no amount of singing "Jesus loves me" could help me shake the feeling that we were nothing more that playthings for the almighty.
and if god "did" all this and inspired man to write his "word" into the bible ... don't you think after two thousand years he might 'inspire' someone to write a little clarification - you know ... like update his demands and fine tune them into language modern humans can more easily understand?
I mean, you have this whole new testament written in what 2000 to 500 years then 1500 years of complete nothing?!? Either God has chosen to go mum or the clergy has become cynical of any claim of anyone claiming divine inspiration.

Well ... it's a freaking catastrophe ... maybe he should bust out his "aqua-eraser" and try again

Aaah, I feel so much safer, now.
