ATLian,
This would be the case for those who believe in pre-destination. You cannot just sit back and wait for what God has "written" for you as humans have free-will and that is why you are held responsible for your actions. What is hapenning today in many areas of the world need not happen if humans were more generous and less violent. Today people are starving in many parts of E Africa while others live luxuriously. There is abundance of food in western Kenya but children are dying of hunger and malnutrition in N Eastern Kenya. Why do you blame God when humans are unwilling to help each other? There is misery in Iraq too, it was the most developed Arab country with the the highest literacy rates, lowest child mortality rates, and most secular of nations in the Middle east. The invasion by the USA and GB caused a lot of death, carnage and a lot of unnecessary suffering to millions. Are you blaming God for this too or the invaders and insurgents that kill innocent human beings?

sajtas,
One can scientifically prove what man is made of but how do you know that God is made of the same substances? Your case is more guesswork than it is blasphemous.
