We assume it will be in the afterlife, where God is in direct control and man has no say anymore. But on earth, man has the free will to do what he wants within the confines of nature. To judge God on earth is foolishly premature.

Re: The "neo-atheist" thread...

Maybe it is time we stop "debating" this fantasyland nonsense and merely laugh that a 21st century human being from the most technologically advanced culture on the planet actually believes stuff like this. Or maybe we should cry, not sure which yet.

Technology provides food, warmth, and shelter, which are necessary for happiness (and which, largely due to religion and its effects on politics, many people still don't have).
