Stop right there. No need to read further. What an ego you must have to think that in any way you could even approach the majesty that is Our Heavenly Father!

Did you come up with this pathetic argument all on your own, or have you been reading
The Bible for Dummies again?

Whoa! Why do you say that the planet isn't perfect without wars and stuff? God likes wars and stuff! That's why he put so many Amalekites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Canaanites, Edomites, Egyptians, Greeks, Midianites, Moabites, Persians, Philistines, Romans, Hittites, and Arameans in and around the Holy Land for the Israelites to slaughter. It's why he created Arabs, too. You seem to be confusing peaceful with perfect, when they are entirely different concepts.

This is an amazingly simple concept, but Ling has obvously chosen imperfection, which is why he can't understand this at all.
