so if i (say?)drop a peanut it falls through god's will - not my clumsiness?

intelligent falling eh? so presumably the wind blowing in oklahoma is intelligent wind. so why would religious types pray to their god to ask them to stop doing something that they have clearly chosen to do. destroying peoples' lives and devastating parts of the world could not realistically be the will of a loving or all-powerful god. in fact only a malign,disinterested or deranged presence would design and run the whole show like this. what has to happen before people will conclude there is no god?

really,religion just reveals the extent of our varied craziness and our inability to take responsibility to run our own world properly and fairly. atheists who point this out are trying to help the good people afflicted to accept reality and to work together with compassion and good will to improve the real world. now.
