What a desperately shallow view of the world.

Me? I’m happy for that dying child. He is now in a heaven Jeff Musall will never know.

All he has done is elevate himself to be his own god.

Thing one: Death is different from God’s point of view. Of course.

Thing two: Worldly suffering is trivial in an eternal context. Of course.

Thing three: It’s awfully arrogant for a human mind to think it understands everything that is and can explain it all.

The caption below the picture attached to the article explains the scene, but here it is again. A young boy, dying from famine, is trying to crawl to a UN food station about a kilometer away. He isn't going to make it, and a vulture is stalking him.

So, it's somehow God's fault that the photographer would rather get a Pulitzer prize than actually stop to carry that child to the feeding station?

Great Gravy.What a fool.
He has never considered the vileness of sin, and its effects... That is he's never read the Bible.
But of course, its God's Word - so why bother...
Thus the filthy, and sinful, created thing ('a worm') shaking his fist at the all Righteous and Holy Creator.
And he makes himself 'God' ('God should do this. God should do that. A Good God would do what I - a vile sinner - thinks is right')...

eh, Psalm 14 people have always been around (at least since Cain)...

If I am wrong, and there is a God, I hope I have the strength to express my true feelings.

You won't have to. God already knows them.

He is a fool that chooses to blame God for man’s cruelty.

Oh gee, an atheist in Portland. Go figure. May that God-forsaken city be the recipient of an asteroid or a tsunami generated by an earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

What is the purpose of collective salvation without God? What would the collectively-saved be saved for? The author seems to want to believe in something, just not God.

The poem "Deteriorata" was meant as a parody.

Jeff Musall has unwittingly, however, provided proof positive of one of the key lines in that poem

"Be assured that a walk through the seas of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet."

Entire encyclopedias worth of commentary exist on this very subject of how a omni potent God can be both loving and allow evil to happen. NONE of it, follows the excuses this guy uses.

His research is obviously shallow if any at all.

The fact that he rants on about the same old tired, lame and empty excuses without so much as one line articulating the many answers shows his lack of homework.

Many a great and sincere atheist have actually undertaken the task to find answers to these apparent dilemmas and FOUND those answers and converted to Christ.

Yet, he won’t even read or study THOSE men?

Did he dare to think HE was the first person to ever ASK these questions? In all human history?

He isn’t worth the time, if he himself, hasn’t taken the time to seek his on his own.

Sad.

Good thing for Portland that we're not God.

Photog was an atheist.

“When Tony Dungy, former coach of the Indianapolis Colts, said they won the Superbowl by doing it “the Lord’s way,” I wanted to climb into the television set and punch him in the face.”

You should thank God you weren’t able to ... he would have kicked your sorry ass.
