What did you smack out? I didn't see a response answering why a merciful, omnipotent god would allow representatives of his own church to rape children, and other representatives of his church to protect the rapists, with no repercussions for them (other than lawsuits by the victims).
Key words "would allow". He mentioned something about "cue the free will excuse" - I was serving it up.
Also, I can see why you are so bent out of shape about it. For you there is no judgment day.
While were at it - let's come up with some punishments for the following assholes:
1) Smokers who use our outdoors as their ashtray.
2) People who are deliberately cruel to their pets.
3) People who leave their piggy mess for others to clean up.
4) Anyone who feels entitled to infringe on someone else's rights.
See, there are degrees of evil, and punishments that might be meted out by any number of idiots who have done worse. Including your abject horror at the evil you mention above. So while I believe your understanding of mercy, and omnipotence may be skewed, I'm sure based on what you say, that we can find someone who is completely and without question above all of that?
You willing to try that job, because I can tell you that if I had it, those that I mention above would be dealt with pretty harshly too, including death to the evil ones you mention? That is why I am nowhere near that qualified.
. . . I'm here to tell you, you are farther away from being qualified than I am.
Do you really want to discuss the importance of free will, or were you just being a jerk?
