I want to point out that being negligent and even apathetic towards kids who desperately need a miracle is probably one of the biggest arguments against intelligent design. That's not complaining, it's simple logic. As God, your number one priority should be protecting the kids at all costs, if that's too much to expect then yes my disdain is warranted.

Why did your creator or intelligent desiger, create parasites whose sole purpose is to burrow into the eyes of mammals and blind them?

Beelzebub is the lord of filth. This is why the Israelites had extensive purity laws, to protect themselves from these sorts of things. Their ideology in fact was very remniscient of terrain and germ theory.

What about congentical defects? Stillborn children? Down's Syndrome, autism, twins, etc -- are you saying all these things are 'man-caused'? That none of these things occurred 2, 3 or even 8 thousand years ago, when we didnt have the same level of pollutants around us?
No. Either, your creator is a twisted f**k who enjoys watching humanity, especially children, suffer immeasurably, or, like all the evidence points to - is a natural result of mutation and genetic error, which we see time and time again in the natural world.

Answer the question instead of avoiding it.
Or, ok - let's play your side-stepping game. Why did you creator create "Beelzebub", the "lord of filth" and allow such a thing to cause the parasites I mentioned?

Lol the fish are literally turning trans in our rivers from all the pollutants, there is a cause and effect of our universe. When you defy natural order, unnatural things start to happen.
There are also mental pollutions as well, referred to as "sin". We were told how it is, and now you're complaining about us not heeding the warning?

Yes, again, thank you for your incredibly obvious assertion that I am a person of faith, well done, we agree on that
We are of accordance, amazing
I am A person of Faith
Have we cleared that up,yet?
As for God being unpleasant, yep, as previously stated, He is very unpleasant to the unpleasant
In fact, if you care to read the bible, He/it goes on and on, makes the fact God/He is unpleasant very clear, so much so it’s almost like you are redundant in stating the obvious that God is unpleasant ...again
Crystal?

Poorly built cities with awful sanitation, total defiance of God's order, then disease strikes from people literally living in filth, then people blame God. It's like a kid burning his hand on the stove and then blaming his dad for warning him not to do so.

What natural order did children defy in order to develop bone cancer?
What about cases of cancer in children who do not live in areas or environments where such polutants exist? are you saying children deserve it?
Utter bullsh*t. Now you're just hiding behind your Bible hyperbole and not directly answering any questions.
Which is what you and the other bible pumper do: you throw around a load of unsupported claims, and when questioned or countered, you avoid answering and start talking in scripture.
You're weak, dude. You can't debate.

Sincerely, I just don’t think they think
For most of my life I didn’t, so
But this “God is bad” revelation they think will be enlightening to Christians
It’s recorded in the bible so, yeah, obviously
The point is, parasites weren't in the garden
Good parasites do exist, but they aren’t always very obvious! The nicest parasites are the fungi which you can eat, like mushrooms or food and drinks made using yeast, like bread and soy sauce. Some fungi are also used in medicine, as antibiotics. Other parasites are used in medicine but they are a little yuckier! Leeches and maggots are grown in special laboratories and are used to keep blood flowing or clean up dead tissue after people have had accidents!

And I asked:

What has your response got to do with my question? Nothing. Once again, cooperton's on the loose...

I feel the pain of the world and I am empathetic to a fault. But I can also assess the world pragmatically, and there are cause and effect mechanisms that we were told about. If someone's smoking cigs and drinking alcohol during pregnancy, then wtf do you expect?! Kids are at the mercy of the free will of their parents.
