God probably(?) would also show mirth at risible atheist strawgod embroilments.
Some conjectures: God could have given humans life to begin with and then could have left humanity to themselves and their free will, Good and bad and black and white and young and old, etc., are human concepts, Nature/God/whatever existing does not mean that life has to be easy, painless, or etc., Since atheists believe there is no god, it is really the random godless forces of their materialistic universe that "hate little black kids", There is a difference between permitting and causing.
So many fallacies so little time . . .
1) Where is the "strawgod"? Whichever god you choose, he apparently has it in for one group or another. Thay all appear to have it in for the black population of the world.
As USA has pointed out, he's not that keen on brown people either or yellow if you consider that the majority of the population of China still lives in the middle ages starving and ignorant at the whim of their feudal lords.
I have not constructed any god straw or otherwise. I am merely reflecting on the qualities of those already invented.
2) We could debate all day about whether or not "free will" exists. Assuming it does though, where is the freewill in where you are born or what your skin colour is? Statistically, if you are born black, you are most likely to be born in Africa and are therefore many times more likely to live a short and unpleasant and painful life than if you are born in Europe or the US (or Japan or more "civilised" parts of China or, or, or . . .). Your reference to free will is therefore a red herring.
3) "Since atheists believe there is no god" - that too is open to debate. Personally, I don't feel that I believe in "no god", I just don't believe in "a god". The difference is subtle but important.
4) "it is really the random godless forces of their materialistic universe that "hate little black kids" - Eh, no. Random godless forces are, by definition,
random. They don't hate
anybody any more than they like or love anybody. They have neither emotions nor intentions.
5) "There is a difference between permitting and causing"
Here's a little experiment for you to try -
Dig a hole in the pavement outside your house, put a bunch of spikes in the bottom and cover it up with netting or something. Now go back in your house and watch until someone falls into the hole and impales themselves on the spikes.
When the police arrive, tell them you didn't cause the person to fall in the hole, you just permitted it.
When you get out on bail, let us know what they said.
