The physical and mathematical laws of nature are simple and beautiful. Nature 'wants' to be organized. It needs to create order from chaos in order to exist, and it does extactly that.
No God required (tm).
There is a philosphical argument that postulates that we humans will become 'gods' eventually, as our knowledge and sophistication increases (barring wiping ourselves out).
It could be that Chico's God (if he/she/it exists) is simply a being or beings from a race that has been around a lot longer than us.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

But that means there is something God cant do
Therefore there can not be a God
2. God is omniescent
3. God is benevolent
4. There is sufferring in the world
God can't stop the sufferring (1), he doesn't know about it (2) or he doesn't care (3)Comment

Chico and his pathetic Christian cult confuse certain easily induced (especially in a crowd) hysterical/euphoric brain states as communication from "God".
PS Anyone see the sketch in "Borat" where he pretends to "accept Jesus" in an American Pentecostal church? Sheer comedic genius.Hard Brexit now!

What difference does it make?
Let's say god exists. He doesn't manifest himself and he doesn't do anything so WGAS?
Does he care if we believe in him or not?Comment

"God either wants to eliminate bad things and cannot, or can but does not want to, or neither wishes to nor can, or both wants to and can.
If he wants to and cannot, he is weak -- and this does not apply to god.
If he can but does not want to, then he is spiteful -- which is equally foreign to god's nature.
If he neither wants to nor can, he is both weak and spiteful and so not a god.
If he wants to and can, which is the only thing fitting for a god, where then do bad things come from? Or why does he not eliminate them?"
