What a shame Michael, that you seem to think that making derogatory remarks about non-believers somehow makes you and your beliefs more important.
Non-believers, like myself, are often caring, compassionate beings who care for other humans because they have feelings, not because they are supposed to. And by acting that way and trying to correct their mistakes in life, there is absolutely no need for a god at all.

comment on atheist quote:
An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist believes that deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated
Not a proponent of that Michael, but definitely not the one that goes:
"First there was was nothing, then God made it"

comment on atheist quote:
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
Why do you put some words with capital letters - Plan of God, Sin Drama etc - it makes it seem like these are generally approved phrases but I am not aware of them written like that in the bible. And where does a 4D angelic universe come from for goodness sake!??
One point though, why create people with free will, then get annoyed at them if they choose to use it in any other way than what he wanted in the first place. Perhaps more robots would have been better - at least it would have worked how he intended.

comment on atheist quote:
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
This is a great comment, there are so many nasty things in nature - watch any wildlife programme and see what a horrendous struggle some animals have, and, like David's example, some humans too.

comment on atheist quote:
I often get letters, quite frequently, from people who say how they like the programs a lot, but I never give credit to the almighty power that created nature, to which I reply and say, "Well, it's funny that the people, when they say that this is of the almighty, always quote beautiful things, they always quote orchids and hummingbirds and butterflies and roses." But I always have to think too of a little boy sitting on the banks of a river in west Africa who has a worm boring through his eyeball, turning him blind before he's five years old, and I reply and say, "Well presumably the god you speak about created the worm as well," and now, I find that baffling to credit a merciful god with that action, and therefore it seems to me safer to show things that I know to be truth, truthful and factual, and allow people to make up their own minds about the moralities of this thing, or indeed the theology of this thing."
