Kemi,

I beg to differ, and for my evidence I'll quote god himself in Isaiah 45:7: “I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, AND CREATE EVIL; I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.” In addition to that damning statement, god created the source of all evil, Lucifer, and in his infinite knowledge he knew what Satan would turn out to be. The fact that he still created him and let him do what he has done also means that god is directly culpable for all the evil that exists.

Well, he created Satan as an angel, and he is going to burn Satan in hell forever, so what's the deal with burning a few homosexuals in Sodom?
