But, again, I don't want to antagonize. Religion should be personal. As a wise frenchie once told me, A chacun sa merde.
Trying to place the morals of man onto God is exactly what SeattleUte is doing.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are attributing the suffering of man to God's incomprehensible plans for His children, assuming that when God says "For he so loved [us] that he gave his only begotten son" means that he truly does love us.
