Hopefully, if there is a God, He actually has something intelligent to say and He can get through to either me or them... What I'm saying is: spare me the emotional fluff. Also, please spare me the ad-hoc, practical rule of thumb approach as a solution - as that only just partially solves the problem. I want something deeper intellectually in some way here... I just don't want more of these empty, sappy emotional emotional arguments - "God sometimes makes mistakes" types of things that remind me of a line from Office Space: "Somebody has a case of the Mondays." If He's out there, I want some real help, and a lot less of that... (And certainly not any of the abusive, tyrannical approach I sometimes see from people - please aim it at them, and not me...)
