   Do you really and truly believe that he was expressing anger at a god?   
   Why do theists always pretend that they do not understand the concept   
   usually called "for the sake of argument"?  One can just see the smarmy   
   look of concern as the question is asked.  On the other hand maybe you   
   really are incapable of understanding, but I find that so depressing.
