you didnt say pain and suffering though did you? you started off with suffering, then went on to pain. As for the arguing english with you, I know you have an english degree etc, so I will take your word for it when you said: Synonyms mean the same thing in most contexts, but not necessarily all. Fact is your age old argument of 'why does he let bad things happen to people' is a crap one People who do as they will, have no reason to complain when things go bad. All of a sudden its gods fault. Its a pretty ****ty argument in my opinion. Oh I sleep with prossies, now have aids, why god? because you sleep with prossies knobhead simples
Its a defence mechanism for the ****s, the whole atheist celebrating gods sons birthday is hard to defend so they try all methods
