Did it ever occur to you that God has knowledge, thoughts and motives that you don't know about, that are beyond your comprehension? That's what I've been saying, that a finite created being believing he can know and understand why God does things, without God telling Him, is arrogance beyond belief. You actually propose to judge God's actions and motives by your standards? And you think that isn't arrogance? Wow! :-) 

Judson,

Your starting point is irrational. If you had addressed that message to me it would make sense. But (1) an Agnostic does NOT accept the existence of a God without proof and (2) an atheist DOESN'T accept God. Period.

Because you and I BELIEVE - doesn't make the others automatically arrogant - nor should we even think that way if we are CHARITABLE !
