I think I'll just use this quote in any and all my responses to anyone trying to tell us about the goodness of god, his superior morality and his benevolence and objection to evil practices.

Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London.I am Finland. Soy Barcelona

"Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed.
Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved."
