Should he rescue Harvey or Rachel? I'm then blaming him for the outcomes of that action or inaction. In this case I know Batman doesn't exist and am not trying to prove his non-existance, I'm simply playing with his character. This is the scenario I'm talking about in response to Urchin's question. Why do atheist's blame god for bad things? They don't blame him... they don't believe he exists. However, the character of god portrayed by the bible text is who we're talking about here and he has hypothetically designed a population he knew would kill and maim each other, repeatedly. Waving the word theodicy around doesn't delete the conundrum of the massive amount of broken and bloody eggshells for the omelette.MothRusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13794245127293355300noreply@blogger.com
