god saves or kills?

[El Coolio]

ok i am an athiest and i got somethign for you guys to think of. read this its really cool.

lets say there is a major airplane carrying 300 people. its flying around, then for some reason (say engine trouble or weather, idont know,use your imgaination) the plane crashes. say everybody but 1 baby dies. you will probably think to your self, god must have been watching out over that 1 baby, but waht about the 299 other people, was he watching out for them?

[Raw_Power]

He kills.

[madamwench]

perhaps your arguement is stupid in that it assumes people will think the baby was saved...

[ArmsMerchant]

The argument is totally fallacious, in that it ignores the fact that we all have immortal souls--life is eternal. Nothing that happens in any one lifetime--and we have as many as we choose to have--is of any lasting consequence.

God does not reward, punish, or judge--just loves and creates.

[Hexadecimal]

What if the thought that evokes is nothing but, "What a stupid scenario. The baby is guaranteed to die." Why? Wolves, or whatever natural predator the area has. Lone baby = food.

[socratic]

God did nothing, that entire event was caused by man-made failure.

If you're going to critique religious belief, at least get the picture right.

Good point.

Good grief, I get so sick of hearing unevolved people whine about "Oh boo hoo, why did God let this happen?"

DUH--can you say "free will"?
