[Quote][B]Except that God created all the problems that exist in the universe. Every single one. He created rape, he created murder, he created sin, and the compulsions to commit those acts. He created all of these things, every, single, last, one, by posing an impossible test: Creating two creatures without knowledge, one before the other, giving them eternity in paradise, and then telling them to not eat from a tree, which he made easily within their reach, with very appealing looking fruit by all accounts, right in the middle of the fucking garden they lived in. Then, as if that wasn't enough to create a test which would invariable fail (totally ignorant creature + curiosity = eventual failure to obey authority figure, given eternity, that makes it assured of success), he created Satan, the talking snake, who easily fooled the completely ignorant, completely naive, completely defenseless creatures.[/B] [/Quote] Look. If you make a banana cream pie, a french silk chocolate pie, key lime or whatever. It's good. That's what God did. Satan came along and pooped in the pie. Is it God's fault now?
