Better still. ALthough it does sound a little harsher than that in French, eh?

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.

You can't have it both ways - either God is comprehend-able by man or he is not. If you agree with SU that an 'intervening God' would not allow the suffering in Bosnia to happen, you are constraining Him with your own ethics, and therefore you MUST believe that God is conceivable by man. And if God is conceivable by man, you must admit that man can come to know Him on a personal level.

Next, you're going to call me a dum-dum or a stupid-toe. I have no interest in trying to convince / dissuade people about god or religion. I am trying to state my opinions and the reasons I hold those opinions. I'm trying to do my part to keep the Religion Section a positive place, where the Cougarguard intelligentsia can pat themselves on the back and congratulate one another for being "liberal faithfuls."

I've never heard the phrase "stupid-toe" before. Stupid-head, sure, but not the toe... It's an interesting state of affairs here, isn't it? The attempt to align liberalism with faithful LDS...
