And have been doing so for over 3,000 years. All the points you have raised about GOD being omniscient, omnipotent etc. have been raised over and over again.

The Bible has a book the Watchtower used as its masthead source, the was the Book of Habbackuk. The points you make were made during the Diaspora.

You are saying, "why do bad things happen to good people?" and the corolary, "why do good things happen to bad people?"

For the Forest Gumps of the world, "Shit happens!"

For the religious of the world, "God works in mysterious ways!"

That you don't understand something does not make it invalid. God you ain't.

Your dialectic methodology of demonizing anyone you are at odds with is both silly and immature. You present a position that your arguments must certainly be weak, so you need to lable the person you are addressing as an idiot, airhead, or something demeaning.

Tom goes on a rant sometimes and does this. What is operative here is that he does this "sometimes." When Tom does this he gets made fun of. The series of explanations for the background on Tom's "Buttmonkey" were good natured and in a spirit of fun.

On the other hand, your attacks on Lindy are unseemly, ungentlemanly, rude and display ignorance that needs be sheilded by arrogance.

When you rail against the "ignorance" of Lindy's questions it puts me in mind of the Chinese expression: "When a wise man and a fool argue, it becomes difficult to tell which is which?"

Now that you are lashing out at others besides Lindy, I have seen enough to know the answer.
