Now, assume the same situation, but this time instead of a three year old, it's a 16 year old boy. Again the wolf leaps out and eats the baby. The 16 year old was terrified and frozen in his tracks. Should we get mad at the 16 year old? Probably not, but couldn't he have at least picked up a stick and tried to scare off the wolf? Maybe, but I think most people would give him the benifit of the doubt.
Now, this time replace the boy with a very strong grown man who knows all about wolves. This man is armed with a high powered rifle and several pistols. He's been attacked by wolves before and has succesfuly fought them all off. He's a bad ass. Again, the wolf jumps out and eats the baby right in front of this heavily armed man - he had time to shoot, but did nothing. Should we blame him? Hell yes! He could and should have saved the baby. We might even say his indecision was "bad."
Now, replace the man with our all powerful, all good, all knowing God. The baby gets eaten and God does nothing. Should we blame him? He saw the wolf coming and knew what he was going to do and could, according to our definition, stop it. Our "God" is also all good, so how can he let this happen? Obviously there is something wrong with our definition of God. Or perhaps with good. If God isn't all good or all powerful or all knowing, is he worthy of our mindless worship?
I certainly don't claim to be a philosopher or even particularly clever, but this argument was probably the single most important thing that led me away from my irrational beliefs and "faith."
I present it here just as my $0.02 worth in the ongoing discussion.
