    You of all people are not allowed to say this. You are one of the least Christian people on this site. You're basically Kidiciuos worshiping at the altar of Kidicious, except that now instead of Kidicious-claiming-to-be-a-Communist you're Kidicious-claiming-to-be-a-Christian - however, your underlying religion has not changed.

      Neither.

      What would be the implications of having a god that created this?
      Nothing certain.

      • Considering that there are a fair number of organisms that survive by eating other organisms (typically not painlessly), and another large set of organisms that unpleasantly parasitize or infect other organisms, and a rather large set of organisms that grows old and infirm, I don't think that duck rape is a very significant argument for or against the existence of God.

          How dare I quote lines from a TV show at Guy in a context that you might misinterpret as being directed at you?!?!

            You're just apathetic and arrogant to an extreme and others are encouraging you. That you can blame someone for calling you a stupid jackass says so much about your character.

              Consider what you just said: You think I'm a "stupid jackass." Okay. But the fact that I deny being a stupid jackass is, I take it, a bad thing. Why? If I didn't deny that, wouldn't that simply make the fault willful, and therefore worse?

              Also, how exactly is someone apathetic to an extreme? It's very un-extreme behavior. It's like you called me radically neutral, or remarkably average.

                The Orthodox POV as I understand it is that our present world is radically different from God's original creation as a result of sin. If I were a strict creationist such a thing might trouble me, but accepting that:

                1. Evolution occurs, and
                2. God does not always prevent wickedness from prospering in this life,

                it stands to reason that such things would occur. Some animals rape, some animals engage in warfare, some eat their own kind. Why? Because it's profitable to do so.

                • You're still doing it. That's what I'm talking about. You obviously think it's worse to call someone a stupid jackass than to be one and not care that you are.

                    I completely agree. I just thought it was odd/amusing that the Problem of Evil was being reduced to the Problem of Duck Rape.

                      I don't have a strong opinion on which of those two is worse. However, I do deny being a stupid jackass, which indicates that I do/would care that I am/if I were.

                        Well, that and you wanted to say "duck rape" some more.

                        • You deny a lot of things which doesn't matter even a little.

                          • As it is said, "The writing is on the wall." When that is so, what a person denies doesn't count for anything.

                            • Does it count as writing on the wall when you're the (only) one writing it, Kid?

                              • You wrote it. For example, you told Imran that you were purposefully posting things that didn't make sense. That's a fact. It's still there in writing if you haven't edited it out. It's not something I wrote. It's what you wrote.
