of course not , it had everything to do with science but it was the government who commissioned it and deployed it.
So, you have acknowledged the principle I was trying to get at - that the source isn't necessarily the cause.
Besides that what a pathetic comeback, if your god exists why does he allow such suffering .
It may be a pathetic comeback in your eyes, but again you haven't dealt with the freedom of choice issue. I'm sure that he could have stopped all suffering but, as I've pointed out on a number of occasions - for instance in response to similar comments from Floo - he is a God who has given freedom of choice and isn't going to overrule this at every turn. Either you have your 'sadistic bustard', who heals, saves, protects secures some but not all, or you have a system whereby every mistake we make has a damaging effect on the people amongst whom we live and work, and (in effect) they share the punishment.
Note that I'm not remotely suggesting that the division is anything to do with belief or otherwise, as both believers and non-believers get rained on, shined on, bullied, treated unfairly, wrongly accused, mistreated, ....
I would suggest either your god is not there or is sadistic bustard with a sick sense of humour
In my view, he is both 'here', and an amazingly loving and caring being with a truly wicked sense of humour. ('Wicked' used in the modern sense)
