And you keep blathering more & more insanely with each post.
angryoldfatman quoting: "The kindly God who lovingly fashioned every one of us (all creatures great and small) and sprinkled the sky with shining stars for our delight - that God is, like Santa Claus, a myth of childhood..."
Actually, the Old Testament shows that God was extraordinarily fierce and willing to destroy civilizations (i.e., Babel, Sodom, Noah's flood, etc.) which did not meet His high standards.
So there was nothing necessarily "kindly" about God's creative processes.
And that's just what evolution theory tells us.
Concepts like forgiveness, redemption and salvation for imperfect beings come much later in God's creative process.
angryoldfatman: "my screen name was chosen to be ineffectual 3rd-grade-level low hanging fruit for idiots. Good going, REMF!"
So you fully confess to insanely assaulting Free Republic by posting deliberately obnoxious drivel, beginning with your own screen name.
Have you no decency, have you no self respect?
What exactly is your major malfunction?
