Physasst, since you didn't write up that shoddy piece of Bible interpretation, and because I have better things to do than spend two hours answering to a lengthly list of shoddy Bible interpretations, let's instead deal with your initial objection to believing in God: your working in an ER, that "cesspool of humanity."

Let me guess...if God did exist, then he must be evil and malevolent for...what? Permitting man to do horrible things to his fellow man? Is that the argument you really wish to advance?
My goodness. If he gives you a long list of objections with bible references to illustrate and you don't agree, it's "shoddy"? Christians have cherry-picked the bible ever since the early days. Why can't others do the same thing? It appears that you have chosen to believe not only in Christianity but a very particular sect of Christianity. All other interpretations are unacceptable. It isn't as if the bible is clear and logical! Parts of it are actually a mishmash of several narrators mixed together!

And your last paragraph says it all: god can't be blamed for the bad things that happen to mankind. Then join with me and admit that god can also not be given credit for all the good things that happen. Wouldn't it be a great gig if we could all get credit for the good and never get blamed for the bad?

This discussion has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that faith can not be logically proven. Faith is choosing to believe something without logical proof. You and the few others have done absolutely nothing to change this definition. This is just a fact, neither bad nor good.
