This post illustrates either a intentional misrepresentation of being pro-choice or a comment born from ignorance about what being pro-choice actually is. If you're trying to make it into some kind of point about how pro-choice people must hate children, congratulation you are deflecting, and badly at that.

Do you live a carbon neutral lifestyle? If not, it must mean you hate the Earth and don't give a crap about it, right?

That doesn't respond to my post, though, does it?
It doesn't sound like you care very much about those kids. Nor your God.

Don't even go there on the "choice" thing. It's completely irrelevant and an admission that he can't explain why God in His omnipotence would allow such misery. He is showing himself to have been flummoxed.

Pro-Choice is just what the name implies. the CHOICE to let life continue. So Technically it has no distinction whether Pro-Choicers choose to end the life at birth or after some years of birth.

Irrelevant post to the discussion.

I answered your question perfectly.

GOD is a JUST GOD, as in Justice. Kids died during the Flood of Noah. You think those were all grown-ups??

and to rationalize why the kids die is just stupid because GOD's ways are not our ways.

but yet you won't question the Pro-Choicers when they hack up newborns while sucking them up in flesh vaccumms.

I highly doubt you're "following His path" by sitting at your computer day after day in the comfort of mom's basement, lashing out at the rest of the world on a forum. You need to take up your cross and get moving, or you'll be spit out for being luke warm!

It would help if Mr. Deity could at least deliver a sensible, consistent and somewhat substantiated message, rather than a rehash of older religious ideas combined with newer plagiarised ones, all wrapped up with numerous claims that run completely afoul of modern science.

So you can't justify a God that murders the innocent either. Saying it's just "God's ways" is good enough for you? You can't even come up with a plausible fictional justification, you just punt on the question. A cowardly response. Truly.

Why go through all this stuff like “performing miracles”, why not just how himself? Would be a lot easier.

He did show Himself and He caught us all hating Him and preferring social approval.

Funny how people spend so much energy trying to imagine what God is, and ascribing all sorts of attributes to, kinda like dressing a doll.

Then when the God they profess to love so much, does what He wants to do, they condemn Him and crucify Him. He can't become a man ! they scream.
