God is an incompetant prick.

I've always loved George Carlin and as I move more towards an anti-theist philosophy in my life, I love him more and more each day.

There really is credibility to the notion that if there is a God, that he must be either extremely incompetent or, more than likely, just doesn't care about us.

If you may believe that he does care, take this into consideration. If we believe what scientific evidence tells us, that the human species has been around for at least 100,000 years, and we also believe what the bible tells us (sorry to pick on Christianity at the moment but its just because i'm lazy and I don't want to get into the other major religions right now, but don't worry, their time will come) if we believe what the bible tells us, then the Lord our savior was sent to a rather secluded region of the middle east around 2000 years ago to make the world a better place. For some reason God didn't choose to send him to China or another region of the world were they has already developed a written language and word of his deeds could be carried in a precise and efficient manner to the rest of the world(the bible was written several hundred years after the death of the supposed Christ so the story was carried by the most efficient venue, word of mouth).

So we would have to come to the conclusion given this understanding that God and all of heaven stood by for 98,000 years before presenting itself to humanity or 96,000 if you count Moses. Was God just so tired from making the Universe that he slept through the emergence of the species he supposedly made in his own image? If he wasn't hung over, then why allow for the rampant genocide, murder, rape, torture, infanticide, etc. of a developing species for so long before sending the savior? Also, on a side note, what about all the other God's that people had before the Judeo-Christian one? Remember how pissed he got about the golden calf? He devoted a whole commandment to it for God sake. Why didn't he get upset when the Greek's worshiped Apollo or Aieres instead of him? Are we to believe it's because he was still being a little old testament and had chosen a specific tribe of Isreal to be his special favorite children? That's not so easy to believe if we are also to believe that he can do anything and that he loves us all.

Anyways, i don't want to make this too long, but it just strikes me as strange to imply that a supreme being, that loves us so dearly, would treat us so poorly. While we cannot prove or disprove the existence of God, I think that I can say with certainty that if he does exist, he is either vastly incompetent or supremely malicious, or potentially both.
