Re: Unappreciative Blasphemy Thread
Oh. You would disallow your creature the free will to create junk food and do things detrimental to the eyes.
Sorry for not responding to the rest of your post, but this just ticked me off.
I was raised on a pretty strict no-junk food diet. No sugary cereals, no potato chips, no McDonalds (except the occasional happy meal on road trips...and i mean like once a year maybe). Always homemade meals and packed lunches, fresh fruits and oatmeal for breakfast, etc. I started losing my vision at 13 and tested for near-sightedness when I got my learner's permit at 15 and I am blind without lenses and I still have especially crappy night vision even with corrective lenses. And I ate a LOT of carrots (used to dip them in dijon mustard as a snack...yummy!). Oh, and my peripheral vision is for shit.
Most of my family wears glasses. I am one more. It had absolutely nothing to do with my diet as a child or now. It has to do with genetics and the piss poor design of the eyes in my family's lineage.
I'm ever so thankful and appreciative to God for designing the human eye back in it's protective socket and with all the properties it has. The trillions of blinks it must do; the eyelids; the tears to wash toxins and dust out, etc.
The fact that so relatively few among the billions of earth humans have lost their eyesight due to damage speaks for a devinely intelligent designer.
So your god hates all of those "relatively few" people whose eyes do not work?
Just for kicks...who do you thank when your body fails you? Is it always your fault?
And if it is always your fault when things go badly, why is it not your own doing when things go well? How do you know the difference?

"You are metaphysicians. You can prove anything by metaphysics; and having done so, every metaphysician can prove every other metaphysician wrong--to his own satisfaction. You are anarchists in the realm of thought. And you are mad cosmos-makers. Each of you dwells in a cosmos of his own making, created out of his own fancies and desires. You do not know the real world in which you live, and your thinking has no place in the real world except in so far as it is phenomena of mental aberration." -The Iron Heel by Jack London
