...as a response to those who seem to merely parrot scripture when responding to questions about who or what God is?
Some claim that a God exists and loves, protects, cherishes its children, followed by numerous citations of scripture. Would it be appropriate to follow up such with lists of say the human death tolls in natural disasters (e.g. 500,000 dead in a massive earthquake in China; 10,000 dead in some landslide in Peru, 50,000 dead from some typhoon in Indonesia)?
I'd argue these would be more factual than the scriptural quotations since human deaths are tangible and quantifiable, whereas the statements in scripture, though inspiring, seem a bit more challenging to prove, save on faith alone.
