where is your loving god tonight?
If you were really watching 'Children in Need' on Friday, Walter, you would have seen him in the actions of hundreds of thousands of people who give up their time to help others, to raise funds, to care for people. Before you get too complacent, perhaps you can answer this question "Where was your god when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, releasing lethal does of radiation and heat energy?" Science has managed to resolve some of the issues around nuclear (and not merely weapons), but by no means all - are you going to argue that this had nothing to do with science?
Your 'loving god' should have prevented the Children from being in need in the first place, if it exists, and could help!
So, your previous stance that people should take responsibility for their actions seems to be a bit in tatters, Floo. Some of the folk shown were in the condition they were because of the actions of other people or (iirc, in one case) their own. Most of the others were suffering from conditions that will inevitably exist within a dynamic natural setting - mutations, etc. After all, isn't mutation a core necessity for evolution?, in the same way that earthquakes, floods, etc are often the prerequisite for a dynamic nature?
