God's plan has failed

I have collaborated these images in response to an argument on Facebook between myself and a christian theologian. The original topic was a video lecture by Sam Harris on TED.com about morals and science. Here is the original argument:
























First of all Conrad I am wondering if this is the kind of thing you teach the children in your youth group and preach to the members of your church?

Secondly I hope that this is not your true opinion, and if it is I hope you don't enjoy the following pictures just as much as I didn't enjoy searching for them. I spent hours putting this together so I hope you have the decency to at least look at my argument. This should be all the proof you need that human suffering is wrong in all cases and not just your own. This also should constitute that it is wrong not to do what we can to change things and help these people as much as we can.

All that I can say about God's plan is: Fuck God's plan. It is apparent to me that God's plan consists of doing nothing and sitting around waiting for us to destroy the earth and everyone on it. Any god that chooses this for his creation is not worthy of worship.

Was it the right thing for all of these people to suffer?

(Religion is incorporated in this collection because it is a main cause of human suffering, as well as government)

    thx. sometimes we can forget what religion is really all about, arguing philosophical or historical points with these 'effing people. the reality of course, is quite atrocious. i wonder where we'd be w/o the constant human suffering inflicting on millions in the name of a figment of our (well, their) collective imaginations.
    again, thx for going through the horrid task of collecting these. I don't know i could have done so w/o losing my goddamned mind.

    Don't keep the faith!
