Survival of the Fittest? Law of the Jungle? Greed? Lust? Envy? Gluttony? Pride? Sloth? And Anger? The first two I owe to Darwin, the last seven to mans free will.

I did not misunderstand your argument, it's flawed in its entirety I have more time in existence and schooling than you would be able to accomplish in your own life. Now is that nice to say, no. So please leave your ridicules to your mirror. Wake up and smell the coffee of your closed minded intellect.

I see man's inhumane treatment of man as the doing of...man.
I won't blame a god.
As a non-believer I believe that we as a species are responsible for our fate - we can make it or break it. I would hope that we can make it, but with the dollar/pound signs being as powerful as they are, I'm not so sure.....

Is the creator in no way responsible for the actions of his creation? Certainly, that's not the way human law normally looks at things. A parent can, while the child is still a minor and under their care, be held responsible for certain of their actions in civil and criminal court. A dog's master can certainly be held responsible for damage done by the dog. How much more, then, should an all-powerful and all-knowing God be responsible for the actions of man?
The concept of a God who is "good all the time" is, as far as I can tell, not present in the Bible, new or old testaments. It is a fabrication of the religious right in the United States, a control strategy intended to shift all responsibility for failure and suffering in life onto poor, helpless, unsuccessful individuals, and to shift all power into the hands of the rich, powerful and successful. It is not Christianity. It is not religion. It is fascism. It is control as an end in itself, and it deserves to be discredited, as such.

You misunderstand. Most of us use the argument "if god is good then why does he allow... ect ect.." because it serves to illustrate that there can be no god.
If such a perfect, loving, omnipotent being did exist, no one would ever be hurt or suffer on earth.
The fact that millions are hurt, maimed, killed, raped, mutilated ect every single day is a sure sign that there is no god. Not the other way around.
Sorry someone had to spell it out for you. Did you drop out in grade 4?
