That comparison is not valid. God is supposedly omnipresent, so when a baby is being killed somewhere he sees it and is able to stop it with no effort yet he lets it happen. Just imagine being in a situation where you see a baby being killed and you could save it at less effort than snapping your fingers. The mother is begging you (i.e. praying) that you save the baby. When a person doesn&#x27;t save the baby in that situation we call them evil. You haven&#x27;t said anything about natural disasters either. Most of the time this &quot;benevolent&quot; Lord also threatens you with eternal torture if you don&#x27;t worship the Great Leader. It&#x27;s a Soviet style dictatorship with a 24&#x2F;7 spy line directly into your thoughts.<p>Religions are ancient cults that were successful in capturing a significant portion of the world&#x27;s population in a time of scientific ignorance. It&#x27;s as silly as believing in Zeus. Actually the Greeks knew that Zeus isn&#x27;t benevolent, so that&#x27;s less silly.
