Notes for @Hanover

When somebody asks what Thomism says about evil, that's philosophy of religion.

When somebody asks why God made dinosaurs, that's not philosophy of anything.

That's a helpful distinction in response to nothing we've been talking about, so I thank you.

I'll disagree though, just for the sake of argument. As I assume God does everything for a purpose, I do wonder why an all purposeful entity would make dinosaurs, something obviously without any purpose. They were really big, very stupid, and didn't know how to avoid extinction. Why would a perfect God make something with shit for brains?

Reply to Banno I'll get to it. I'm currently doing a full audit of all of @frank's posts and am too busy to delete all your posts just yet.

Reply to Hanover Why him first? Unfair. Obvious bias.

God created Trump to spare me from being the butt of your joke.

"Butt of a joke." Hahaha!!

Eye of a needle
Ears of a corn (like hearing a bad joke)

"And He created him in His perfect image."

I have been long known to be saying that it is not inconceivable that the universe is the work of a designer; but he or she sure hain't been an intelligent one, that's for sure.

I had no idea that we could have posts removed. Now that I know of this option: I would like to request @Hanover to go through my post history and cross reference any interactions with you and count how many were considered "positive" by running it through your fancy word crafter evaluator.

Oh and I am under a time pressure like Santa so if you could put a :fire: under it, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance :flower:
