I got your point but it is valueless. I don't consider QM to be unreasonable. I consider it beyond my personal comprehension. There is a huge difference.

And you as his minion are, I assume, more than willing to carry out his orders, unthinking, uncaring, unsympathetic. That's right ... god wants her burned at the stake. No doubt from what you wrote you'd hold the torch.

So you acknowledge the possibility that your all loving god created smallpox and that brings no questions of morality to the surface. Fascinating.

"but I know Christians who have died of cancer and have faithfully reached out to God at the most difficult time possible,"
So stupid people are supposed to suddenly get smarter before they die? Or should I just point out that your god created the disease, watched them suffer, watched their families suffered, listened to their prayers. And then went back to pulling the wings off of butterflies.

I know people that have experienced chocolate that say the same thing. I treat the two statements as having equal value.
