Gods plan:
1. make people in my likeness, giving them free will and temptation.
2. hope for the best.
Indeed that is correct. Free will. You choose to believe or not. God does not mettle in the affairs of men. You chose your behaviors. You touched on "God lets kid's get cancer". That is a good topic. But I disagree. I think, and mind you this is just my opinion, that AIDS, Cancer and many other horrible things of the same nature were made by man. Men are capable of great evil, you forget the devil is a trickster, he does not directly interfere either. But he does use the power of temptation to persuade you to make the WRONG choice. That's just what I think.

If I were the Devil, I would want to interfere directly. It would be just too tempting.

He wanted to dress like a pirate, and using religion as an excuse is almost too easy so he figured he would go for it. Too bad they made him change.

I've tried to call myself agnostic just because it feels bad to say "I don't believe in God", but in my heart I really don't think any of it is real. Religion just seems to me to be a bunch of stories made up for people who can't handle mortality and unexplainable questions. I'm ok with not knowing everything and that there are things in life we will never have answers to. Certain things about believing in God I like, just because sometimes it can make someone a much better person, but it also brings out a whole lot of ugly in people. None of it is very impressive to me I guess, if all the the sudden we learned the truth either way I think I'd just say "meh" and not be surprised. There's no proof it is true, but there's no proof it can't be...I guess it's all about what you feel inside, and I'm more logical than faithful.
