Not the "God" that has been pushed on us all our lives and our ancestors' lives, at least. If there is one, he/she doesn't get involved in Earthly matters. Just ask the millions of Jews, gays, and others who died at Hitler's hands. And, the millions Pol Pot killed. And, Stalin, and...

Certainly this serves to cement one's belief against intelligent design.
Three more months of survival before taking Ginsberg. That would have been no skin off the nose of a god. Not to mention the initial installation of Trump itself.

Don't want to hear "mysterious ways' or "needed for a higher calling" either. If a god's goal is to punish the good for the actions of the bad, then he doesn't warrant worship and sacrifice worthy a deity.

Just waiting until people start breaking out in boils.

Fires, unrest and a pandemic and evangelicals are not getting the message.

The 10 plagues in the book of Exodus
01 Blood
The waters were turned to blood – the fish in the river died and the Egyptians couldn’t drink the foul water.

02 Frogs
Frogs swarmed forth, covering every inch of land and entering houses and bedrooms.

03 Lice
All over Egypt, bugs crawled forth from the dust to cover the land.

04 Wild animals
Hordes of wild animals destroyed everything in their path.

05 Pestilence
A fatal pestilence killed most of the domestic animals of the Egyptians.

06 Boils
The Pharaoh, his servants, the Egyptians and even their animals developed painful boils all over their bodies.

07 Fiery hail
Hail struck down all the crops in the fields and shattered every tree.

08 Locusts
The locusts covered the face of the land and swallowed up every crop and all the fruits of the trees.

09 Darkness
A thick darkness over the land of Egypt, so total that the Egyptians had to feel their way around.

10 Death of the first-born
All firstborn Egyptian sons (and firstborn cattle) died. Israelites marked lamb's blood above their door and were passed over.

But there’s lots of evidence a god does not exist.

RBG’s passing is but one more example.

And he hath sent his son (tRump) to deliver us unto him. (There's a "John 3:16" in there, but I'm not literate enough to write it right now.......)

Hahaha good stuff. Love Ron Reagan in that ad.

I’m not surprised some missed it though. We have a lot of people devoid of any semblance of a sense of humor.
