3. Man some people are so gullible

If the hand of gawd has the power to smite the evil pope, why didn't he just stop the dude from ever even being the pope?

Every time I read something like this I think back I think 8 years or so, when a kid was thrown over the 3rd floor railing at a department store, IIRC it was in MN. He was badly hurt, but lived. And the usual suspects were all "ZOMG GAWD REACHED DOWN AND SAVED HIM!" and I'm just like, what?

So, why didn't He stop the guy from throwing the kid over the balcony? There were about 1,000,000 options the almighty could've arranged for them to not be in the same place at the same time, and that's just one means of a few. Someone also could've been near him to protect him, for example.

So your going to sit their and tell me your holy father can reach down and tinker with something so immeasurably complex as a humans metabolic processes, literally cause death to NOT happen, but he can't arrange one flat tire at an opportune time?

It makes me think you're gullible, I'm sorry.
