(4,261 posts)1. Whenever I hear about 'God's plan'
I wonder why such suffering is included. Some christians say it's the devil that is causing the suffering, but I say didn't God create the devil? Obviously I am not in tune with the finer points of theology.

If God is what they say he is, he's kind of an asshole and I don't want any part of him.

Proof there is no god.... IMHO.
(that and the fact gods are superfluous.)
