God doesn't prevent terrible things because?

You are not very smart and trying to have a discussion with you is like trying to have a discussion with a drunk person.  That is why I choose to discontinue this "discussion".  You didn't even seem to have the ability to identify simple concepts like metaphors and rhetoricial questions at times.  This whole thing was a waste of time, teacher.  I request a transfer to another class.

I'm seriously impressed you continued this discussion for so long and still kept being polite, despite dsgrue3's rude behaviour. I think you wrote the best postings in this thread.

@dsgrue3: Maybe you should pause (not really) reading Nietzsche and have a look at Schopenhauer's "The Art of being right" instead. He already pointed out why some people are becoming rude and insulting in discussions: "A last trick is to become personal, insulting, rude, as soon as you perceive that your opponent has the upper hand, and that you are going to come off worst."

In all honesty, I kinda played the personal attacks game, too.  I'm not proud of it. It's really a discussion of beliefs so things are bound to get heated.  That's part of the reason why I tend to avoid religious discussions.  You can't really win.  Thanks for the compliment, though.  I try to keep an open mind and stay positive.

And one should never change that about themselves

 

Earlier in this thread you said something about other planets being jealous of earth and them wanting our women. Where did you get that from??
