I thank my mother for her kindnesses and the food my parents provided. I also thank God for the earth which has so bountifully provided not only food but all that I see around me.

Cofty,
"Permitting 250 000 lives to be wiped out by something for which no human was to blame, and which could have easily been prevented by a loving god, is a problem for theism."
"If you can see a flaw in that please share"
I don't see a flaw in that. I'm not your enemy though I am a believer.
Thanks for the response.

I asked a simple question. You have a problem answering it. Here's the question again: "My question was why God SHOULD have prevented it"
You go round in circles accusing me of something but have yet to answer the question. You obviously disagree with my assertion that you might say that since the Bible claims God is a loving God for him to not act on that tsunami in 2004 was unloving. But you disagree with my attempt to put words in your mouth (an attempt to seek an answer that you kept to yourself). So since that is not the correct answer, I ask again. Why do you believe God SHOULD have prevented the tsunami?

Cofty,
It seems to me that you would rather I put the words in your mouth, okay. "God SHOULD have prevented the tsunami because the Bible claims that God is a loving God and a loving God would not allow people to die." Is that good or do you want to tweak it? Don't understand the problem you're having.

I have no idea who Wm Lane Craig is. I just asked a simple question. I'm not trying to catch you in something. Of course atheists can judge something as bad. I'm not a moron. But hey, I let it go and leave you to your wrong assumptions.

Cofty: "So what's your point Pelican? Was I close with presuppositionalism and objective morality?"
I just asked a simple question. You can read it just a few posts above. No need for me to repeat it.

My question was why God SHOULD have prevented it. I know you believe it is unloving and so on but in your opinion why SHOULD he prevent these things? Because he is loving? Is that why he should?

Cofty,
I asked, "On what basis do you believe he (God) should have?"
If you have an answer I would appreciate reading it. Why do you believe God should have prevented the tsunami? I know you don't believe in God but even so you must have an opinion as to if God did exist why he should have prevented it.
