Don't try to screw the religious-folk up with logical talk. You'll only make their heads asplode. I've posed that exact question to some very, very devote folks and they tend to fall back on something akin "it's all part of god's plan and we can't know god's plan" - the failsafe statement for anything they can't compute.

It's especially fun if you mix in the bit about being given free will as our greatest gift.. but then, why do so many people claim to do what god tells them to do? God's totally destorying that great gift by _telling_ you what to do. At the very least god's strongly influencing you on what to do.. and that also impunes the notion of us making choices freely -- if I hold a gun to your head and tell you to lick maggot infested horse dookie off my shoe, are you really making a free choice? Afterall, if you don't do what god wants.. you're going to hell, no? That's gotta rank pretty high on the sin scale.
