God
Concerning those two boys that were swept out to sea on their fishing trip. The elder of them (Long) recently said "I think it was a test from God, this whole experience was, and that was to test my faith and my best friend's faith and the faith in my family." (from CBC news)
I hate it when people say stuff like that. I always end up thinking "Man, your God must be a real prick." Don't you think a God that preached infinite forgiveness and love for all of mankind would be a bit nicer? Even if you think God isn't nice though, simply by being omniscient wouldn't he know how strong your faith is? Why would he have to test you? If he knew everything he'd know how you'd act in any possible situation.
