Oh Alijah was excited, she prepared her hands and got to work.
Alijah: It's utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain? Because the God who created this universe, if it was created by God, is quite clearly a maniac, utter maniac. Totally selfish. We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him?! What kind of god would do that? the world is very splendid but it also has in it insects whose whole life cycle is to burrow into the eyes of children and make them blind. They eat outwards from the eyes. Why? Why did you do that to us? You could easily have made a creation in which that didn't exist. It is simply not acceptable. It's perfectly apparent that he is monstrous. Utterly monstrous and deserves no respect whatsoever. The moment you banish him, life becomes simpler, purer, cleaner, more worth living in my opinion.
*New email from: The Messiah*
The Messiah: My child, it seems you have strayed far from God's light. You must understand that God works in mysterious ways. Yes, he did create the Loa loa Filariasis, but he did it to teach us. To teach us to work together in harmony. But living creatures have irreducible complexity, yes. All their essential parts must be in place at the same time, or the organism dies. So God must have created these parts all at the same time. A gradual evolutionary path simply will not work. Everything with a beginning requires a cause. The universe has a beginning and therefore requires a cause. That cause is God. Every day that passes, there are more and more non-believers wandering God's Earth and with that, everyday we stray further and farther from God's light.
Damn, they're good.
