Non-sequitur.
Yes, it does follow because the robbers and travellers may have had good reason to ignore the hurt man. They were just like your God in the Tsunami situation, so there may be an argument that they were MORE like God that the Samaritan who helped out of pure altruism. God only ever helped out for his favorites.

Yeah, I've been pointing that out for 10 or 15 pages, Simon. For the first five, he was getting really upset anytime someone pointed out he was condensing his answer down it "it's a mystery".

5) Therefore it is possible that if the Christian God exists that a lower being would be capable of misjudging his actions due to an inability to fully access and/or assimilate all of the relevant information.
That's true regardless of whether God is omniscient or not. The problem is you can't explain why allowing ~250K people to die is loving, yet you are desperately looking for an excuse.

Uh, in algebra, a negative number times a negative number gives a positive number...
Ooops, I missed the first negative sign. Thanks for the heads up on my missing that!
But in the immortal words of PeeWee Herman, you meant to do to that, right?
Of course not, it was just an honest mistake in reading and only a stupid person desperate to appear relevant would even try to make such a Barney Fife accusation.
P.S. When you make a mistake and acknowledge it, you don't look like such a tool as when you insist you're right all the time (even after having your obvious rookie mistakes pointed out) and then angrily striking out at the person who pointed out your errors. You should try it sometime. Needing to be right all the time is the sign of an immature and insecure mind.

-1x-1=1
In simple arithmetic but not in morality.
Actually, not even in simple algebra. 1*-1 = -1.
He tried to do a mathematical proof and blew up on the simplest thing of all.

OT, I know, but getting my hair done and having a few drinks makes me saucy.

Ahhh, Cofty won't allow that kind of thing, since he's already said people have to legitimately believe in their position in order to argue the theist position (you can find his words from a week ago or so, but he said something like "true theists only", and how he's not playing games).
You don't speak for Cofty. Strawman fallacy by you.
BTW, I can't figure out where all the "true theists" went? I don't suppose none were willing to play a rigged game where the house is always pre-destined to win?
Maybe they saw how poorly you were doing at logic and went home?

But I see Bart has already offered an interesting argument using classical symbolic logic to support his claim, based on the principle of God's 'perfect love'.
Interesting if you don't understand logic or math.

As shown 1+1 = 1 then addition is not a funtion that can be used to combine the effects of two actions of perfect love. The function which controls perfect love action can only be 1x1=1
You didn't actually show this mathematically or explain why. You just said it. In the world of math, you must have proofs.
It also is true that an action of perfection can only be nullified by the opposite action, and therefore a non action which by definition is nothing can not have any effect on the perfect action.
See above.
As shown 1+1 = 1 then addition is not a funtion that can be used to combine the effects of two actions of perfect love. The function which controls perfect love action can only be 1x1=1.
So this proves that the funtion in this problem is the product of the two actions.
You didn't show it or prove it, you just said it. Can you actually show it or demonstrate a proof?

You have taken over my role as a sarcastic wise ass. I'm impressed; you are better than I at it. I will have to re-double my efforts. Spot on and well done.
Broken clock, twice a day, etc.. It's a big world, we can tag team this. No one is on top of their game every time.
