He does it because HE wants to. Your dissatisfaction with God is satanic.

Which brings us back to God being able to allow for the existence of infinite gods if he wants to. Wanna go another round?

Since only God has the full capabilities of God, using angels or Jesus to get the job done would be settling for a lesser standard than God doing it himself. And since God's power is without limit, there would be no reason for God to let a lesser being do his work except laziness. Does this mean that Andrea Yates is like God?

It is possible the atheist tree and the theist tree cannot grow in the same soil.

YOU - as in your soul or your spirit - are merely your 'consciousness'. Everything else is the body. The body can influence you and you can influence the body.

E-man is delusional. He will continue to resist, no matter what you say. His religion tree is deep-rooted; the rest of his garden, in relation to the religion tree, has been poorly tended.

Your hair is NOT inanimate. It is quite alive with hair cells.

God transcends mere gender. But he did make Adam first. And made the woman to be his mate and helper.
