"Diseases used to be ascribed to God and it was thought that those people who got sick deserved to be sick because of their lack of piety . Now we know that diseases strike indiscriminately ( where piety is concerned ) and affect people only based on their risk of acquiring the virus and their general state of health . There are many other examples ."
"See above . Nothing has been demonstrated that convinces me that God has been ruled out of all these issues . He probably is n't active in all situations , but there 's nothing that says he ( or even Satan ) are totally inconsequential either ."
