I am replying before reading the whole post, so I will remember what I want to say. (picks up L)

Ever see the Simpson halloween episode when Lisa accidently creates a whole society? I kinda think that, "God" created us, but that doesn't mean she ( I say she because only women have the miricle of creation) has all the answers.
On that note I am not a church going man, I am not a fan of the human race and men in power in particular. Men are fallible and more importantly, corruptible (sp?) and so they could use their "divinity" for personal reasons as we have seen time and time again.

I speak with God, and I believe God returns my calls. It is my path to righteousness all I can do is be a good man, and I will prosper.

"Why do bad things happen to good people?" "Why is evil so rampant?"
Because MAN is in control of this plain.
