What about God allowing firefighters to rescue people?
What about God allowing scientists to find cures for illnesses?
What about God allowing people to donate organs?
One of my favourite stories is a man was praying one night and he asked "Why do you allow so much evil and suffering in the world? Why didn't you do something about it?". At that point, a voice from heaven said "I did do something about it - I made you"
i thought there couldn't be any worse than pauldomonic on bluemoon for blind faith but you certainly take the biscuit.
i take it you absolutely believe/know there is a deity
if so have you some evidence we can peruse
(if it upsets a few on here so be it)
how about to your analogies above, replace "a god" with "no god" and it fits just as well
