Re: What would I say?
Your premise is faulty.
P)God never does wrong.
P)God does x.
C)x is not wrong.
What you are saying is that God does something that people know to be wrong. Then you go on to list events that either people did or that nature did. Neither people nor nature are God.
We can conclude that God does not control everything...at least not forcefully.

So, if god doesn't do everything, mightn't I be better off going with one of the other spirits? Maybe one of them can do more than god does do.
Actually, I think thats precisely what we do every day. Our day is one vast game of musical chairs. When the music stops, or if it were to stop, which chair would we be sitting in? We become the choices that we make. Life is one vast continuum of choices.
Often, we do choose one of the other spirits because it makes us feel better for the moment. As long as we are alive, we can freely vacillate between the Holy Spirit and the pantheon of imposters....but wre we ever to die, the music would simply stop and we would find ourselves cozied up to the spirit we had chosen.
I like to know who I'm close to, thats for sure!
