    A two-year-old child is critically ill after falling out of an apartment in Inchicore in Dublin.
    The incident happened at Tramyard Court just after 10am.
    The child fell from a fourth or fifth-floor apartment and was taken to Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin.

    So this your god is fine with? :mad:

    God lets lots of things happen - they are often a consequence of free will, ours or somebody else's. It doesn't mean he wants them to happen

    Ah that old chestnut! How did I know that would be the first refuge of those who would defend the indefensible?
    Are you saying it was the childs choice and therefore the childs fault? Got what they deserved eh?
    If I were in that room at the time and witnessed the whole thing but did nothing to stop it, I would justifiably be held to account because doing nothing would be wrong. I'm an athiest and I know it's wrong to let children fall from five stories up! Where I wonder did my sense of right and wrong come from?
    Believers would have us believe god is everywhere and all powerful. According to my sense of right and wrong, god is complicit at very least as he was apparently in the room, could have acted to prevent this but chose not to. Your god is guilty of a crime against a child!!

    Do you fault my assessment?
