With another half a wit, you could become a half-wit.

Creator was powerful enough to create this world.

Now none of us knows the reason but what i can certainly claim what some human may define as 'suffering that GOD cannot stop' could be things GOD wants those ppl pass though or he is not interested in stopping them. Look on the picture bit bigger. I don't know about Irish Lenin but Totino you definitely play PC games because you could play COD4 on Linux while no0ne else could. Think of our planet as Sim City game when GOD doesn't play it for fun IMHO.

Ask yourself what reason would you have to create another world which will be possible in next 1000 years if we remain alive till then.

I would open lots of simulations worlds ( which run on higher speeds)
1.to experiment on them
2.to test my policies on them first
3.to get technological progress as we know any human being can create and few can do one thing differently which maybe a "reinventing the wheel' to some but to other can be the solution.

be bit more creative than just atheists who make a religion out of their disbelief.

What i dislike about religious is that they set themselves as center that GOD needs to be concentrated on or make them special AND not belief on GOD itself.

He's not doing anything about it? Really? Don't you see God working through churches and other organizations to alleviate suffering? 300 volunteers from my church went down to New Orleans to rebuild houses.  Does that reflect God's inabillity or his apathy?


You pose these as if they were mutually exclusive alternatives (i.e. not all-loving or not all-powerful); They aren't.  You have not provided definitions for all-powerful or all-knowing as Wong pointed out.  Here is a simple illustration; A parent who vaccinates their child from Polio is loving, are they not? Despite the painful prick of the needle? Sometimes pain is necessary. 

In other cases, we chose to cause pain or suffering.  Is love more readily demonstrated through protection or through free will? IOW, would you prefer that God hold your hand and tell you exactly what to do? Is that what good parents do?  One of the best things my parents ever did was kick me out of the house and send me to college...


Do what you want...


Not the best argument I've heard.  It is a false dilemma fallacy.

The real intent is the concern by a huge corporation that already has a bad reputation for abuse of employees who are at a very low level of pay.

My uncle was a Marine and once told me a story about the time he caught three sailors trying to smuggle a puppy onto a ship. He said he took the puppy from them, told them he was going to shoot it. He walked around the building with it and fired two shots, handing the puppy off to one of his buddies. He then went back around and gave them a lecture about how important it is not to smuggle contraband on US government property, emphasizing that a little puppy died that day because of their infraction. The puppy went to a good home.

believe god did it.

How is Walmart asking its employees to vote AGAINST Obama any different than the Labor Unions telling its employees to vote FOR them?

While I do not like either practice, the Labor Unions have been doing this for literally DECADES with no outcry.

That only assumes that you can reason in the same position as God, while you can't.

For example, define 'all-loving'. You can't.

Until a union does start and Wal-Mart may find it more profitable to just close up shop until they can find non-union workers.  Now everyone is out of a job except those who now have an opportunity for employment with Wal-Mart as a non-union member.  So, OK sure sounds like a good idea to me.  People who really wanted the work can now get it. Expect the government to exert some pressure? Good luck with that, at least in America.     

Now you all bring in Powell?

Hilarious.

Why not Wesely Clark or ANY other General in the Army, Navy or Air Force?

It still doesn't fill the hole in Obama's EMPTY resume'.....well....except for his 6th Grade Social Studies class.

Social Justice, huh? While a few union members get to benefit, every other employee is thrown out onto the curb.   

Eh...

I can only stretch that to un- or low-skilled workers who need some sort of bargaining power.

If your a Wal-Mart employee or just anyone?

Morality isn't black and white.
