comment on atheist quote:
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Why do you put some words with capital letters - Plan of God, Sin Drama etc - it makes it seem like these are generally approved phrases but I am not aware of them written like that in the bible. And where does a 4D angelic universe come from for goodness sake!??
One point though, why create people with free will, then get annoyed at them if they choose to use it in any other way than what he wanted in the first place. Perhaps more robots would have been better - at least it would have worked how he intended.

I have used this repeatedly to put religious people that say "God did this" or "God did that" and it always stumps them!
Great find!

This is one of my favorites. This is so ample, in so few words it renders religion useless.
