    And also God apparently has so much power he could fix everything in this world with little effort. But no, he specifically creates it. God created all there is, including all the bad stuff. Murderers? Rapists? Slave owners? …? Yep. But, “Do not question God’s intentions. He works in mysterious ways.”

        All things dull and ugly,

        All creatures short and squat,

        All things rude and nasty,

        The Lord God made the lot.

        Each little snake that poisons,

        Each little wasp that stings,

        He made their brutish venom.

        He made their horrid wings.

        All things sick and cancerous,

        All evil great and small,

        All things foul and dangerous,

        The Lord God made them all.

        Each nasty little hornet,

        Each beastly little squid

        Who made the spiky urchin?

        Who made the sharks? He did!

        All things scabbed and ulcerous,

        All pox both great and small,

        Putrid, foul and gangrenous,

        The Lord God made them all.

        Amen!

      There’s a great DarkMatter2525 video on this. By valuing “free will” over helping people, he directly favors evil. Man rapes woman, but god doesn’t help because “free will”. The woman had no “free will” to prevent it. Bad guy gets what he wanted, victim gets trauma.

        Like free speech for Nazis, even though they’ve broken the social contract and don’t deserve air.

      He also kills defenseless babies before they can be baptized. And if life begins at conception, why is God pubishing babies by killing them in the womb (aka stillborn)? Why do they deserve to be stuck in purgatory when they are innocent?
