First, Christians tell me the scientists are mistaken and that primitive tribespeople were right all along in that the universe is actually micromanaged at the whim of invisible intelligent beings. Then they have the cheek to insist that the alleged master controller of the universe is infinitely kind and merciful. Have they never been nauseous? Have they never had diarrhea? Have they never been seriously ill? Have they never had a toothache? Have they failed to notice that animals are compelled to eat each other? And to top it off, they allege all manner of impossible and absurd “miracles” for which there is no evidence at all, such as the story of Noah’s ark and the flood. They treat the ability to pretend to believe all this nonsense as a sort of skill, like juggling, that I ought to develop.
