Does God always Bowl 300?
And wouldn't that get boring for you, if you were god?

1. Can God make a salad at the salad bar so big he can't eat it?
Actually, your question isn't entirely silly.

From my exporsure to 12 years of Catholic education, you're right on the nub of the question of Why The World Sucks if God Is Perfect.

There any number of reasons advanced, but I don't remember the mention of Boredom. However, that would seem to be valid reason for creating an imperfect (or at least a chaos driven) mechanism loose and watching it.

Ever own one of those gyroscope tops?

5. That's why I tend to slide Gnostic
Any God who claims to be GOD can't be GOD, now can He? There's one complete deity, but it's a bit aways from here...problem is we've got these upstart gods who think they did it all.

2. assuming there is a god -- i don't -- ...
god bowling 300 would be akin to you adding 1 and 1...would you sometimes make a mistake and think it added up to 3.

3. He doesn't need to bowl to keep himself amused
Clearly, he has enough fun fucking with us here on earth. How else do you explain why Bush could be President?

6. God is present in every bowler, all bowling balls, every pin.

God does not "do" things, God is.

Unless of course your conception of god is an old white guy with a beard wearing robes sitting on a cloud and making "miracles" happen like some super-magician. I think a lot of these conceptual problems are inherent in our ideas of "logic" which for the most part are completely incapable of processing cause and effect in any situation other than straight line single factor cases. But what am I doing trying to be serious in response to a question about God's bowling score.

These cute little questions about whether God can make a salad so big he can't eat it are on the same intellectual level as the popular junior high school debates over whether superman could beat godzilla.

Why do you thirst for justice? Where have you ever encountered it? It does not exist, yet you use its absence to prove the non-existence of god. Its interesting to me that the human desire for justice is also used as the proof of god's existence.

Thanks.
