[Replying to allegations that God apparently doesn't do anything]
Yeah, holding the universe together and making sure we don't wipe each other out is nothing. And in certain instances healing people. Perhaps preventing plenty of murders. Preventing genocide.

Thought I'd check out post #666.
It was a little disappointing, but in a way - NOT!
Wow - so instead of trying to prove everything that happens is because of God, let's try everything that doesn't happen is because of God.
Unfortunately the bible is all about the [horrible] things God does, not doesn't do!
So why doesn't an omnipotent God prevent all the murders and genocides?
Evidence please?
If god is healing, preventing murders and preventing genocide, then he is doing a damn shitty job of it. Do you have any idea how many people were massacred in the last ten years around the world? Strictly for religious and ethnic reasons? Well, you should. It should be a pretty low number, but it's not. If you are going to lay claim to something that your god has supposedly done, at least make it something good. Otherwise you might as well say that god was guarding the twin towers on 9/11, not a great fucking argument.
Yeah, holding the universe together...
Prove it to be impossible without divine intervention.
...and making sure we don't wipe each other out is nothing.
Not doing such a hot job of it. Look at Isreal and Gaza, for example. Hell, there are peoples wiping each other out BECAUSE of him.
And in certain instances healing people.
Either through a doctor, or in wholly natural methods. Funny, that...
Perhaps preventing plenty of murders.
Perhaps? You'd think if it was an omniscient being, either it would be clear, or murder would be an unheard of concept.
Preventing genocide.
Like hell. He's COMMANDED Genocide.
"Yeah, holding the universe together and making sure we don't wipe each other out is nothing"
Anyone got the several colliding galxy shots Hubbles discovered?
"And in certain instances healing people."
Not one documented case of healing by supernatural means
"Perhaps preventing plenty of murders. Preventing genocide."
Read your Bible, He's an insane mass murderer
"Preventing genocide"

Considering what's happened up to today, it seems God has a piss-poor track record in that department. The survivors/families of the victims of the Holocaust, Stalin/Mao/Kim Il-sung/Jong-Il's purges/Pol Pot's Year Zero etc would like a word with you - and your God.
The only conclusion for all those millions butchered? (check one):
[ ] God doesn't do anything, because he's a capricious douchebag cunt who has NO right to be believed, never mind worshipped.
[ ] God doesn't exist
Choose wisely.
So your god actually keeps the universe from falling apart? [citation needed]
I know for one he doesn't give a shit about genocide, abuse, murder, rape, using his name for personal gain and many other things that actually happen every day and him, being omnipotent and all knowing could correct or prevent with a twinkle.
Why don't you tell that to:
victims of the Crusades
jewish people from 1930 to 1945
(Hitler was a DEVOUT CHRISTIAN!)
Darfur
Kosovo
ETC., ETC...
You've failed again, religion!
Quote# 666
SATAN DOES IT ALL
I KNEW IT
Moron. A loving god would prevent all genocide. When God supposedly heals an ailing Christian, what do you think is going through his mind, hmm? Perhaps all the thousands of children who die every day from starvation and disease?
Plagues of Egypt
Sodom and Gomorrah
The Flood
All the pillaging and killing the Israelites did during the forty years they where in the wilderness
The Crusades
Driving the snakes (Pagans) out of Ireland
The Burning Times
Slavery
Taking out nearly ALL the Native Americans
Salem Witch Trials
etc.
All these things god could've prevented, but didn't. And DON'T even MENTION "the greater good" I've heard ENOUGH of "Sometimes, god lets bad things happen for the good of others; so we can learn from it and draw closer to him." BULLSH*T
Not wiping each other out?
What the fuck was Rwanda in the 90s all about, anyway? It's a good Christian country.
holding the universe together? doubt it. and everything else? THATS WHAT PEOPLE DO. you DOLT. thats what we have leaders, doctors, and police for! look around you stupid, and thank the PEOPLE not your silly god.
"holding the universe together"
At the point someone thinks the Universe would fall apart if God was distracted, "Squirrel!", is the point of no return.
There's no getting through that fundie dogma that existance depends on God being attentive of every little thing but not responsible for anything at the same time.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
