She's ten. When I was ten I still thought I could grow up to be a tree.
Wow it seems you were quite a nut case.
Allow me to point out the following train of thought:
People with talents usually use them to make other people happy.
Art is another medium with which we can make others happy.
God wants people to be happy.
God gives girl artistic gift.
Girl uses God-given gift to make others happy.
Gibber-jabber.
She doesn't make me happy, she makes me sad in fact.
Also, god had nothing to do with my artistic ability since I learned the majority of my technique from practice and understanding.
Also again, if god wants everyone to be happy, why is half the world's population either depressed or slowly dying?
If you want me to be happy god, cure those pesky diseases you hand out to everyone, I don't give a **** about a painting a little girl did by comparison.
"If you help them too much, they learn to rely on you and do nothing for themselves. But if you do nothing, they stop believing in you all together." That was a quote from Futurama. The second half doesn't really apply, but it still makes a good point.
And by the way, pyschotic people and religious people sound similar because they're both so passionate.
Right, so apparently god cherry picks his intervention into forms which pose no significance whatsoever. That flying spaghetti monster of yours sure maintains an omnipotent level of pointlessness. I realise that futurama quote is a nice justification for the observation that god doesn't really do anything but, it doesn't provide any sway in terms of logical analysis.
When I was ten I used to pretend I wanted to be a spaceman but, I actually just wanted to do nothing.
For Dancer:
Riddle me this Batman. Would you prefer that he take care of your every whim? So much so that you not need even step out of bed in the morning? That would just be boring. I would rather him only help when I actually need some intervention.
When I was ten, I wanted to be Ash Ketchum. Speaking of, I started playing pokemon yesterday. I'm living the dream, baby.
I would like god to show himself in the form of evidence rather than forms which are subject to alternative explanation which logically favour against magic over science. Simply put, god doesn't exist because he doesn't need to exist.
Regarding this girl, her patience, perception and the ability to translate ideas into images is in no way divine. Her mind is simply well equipped to produce what we recognise as art. One cat may be better at catching birds than another, it doesn't mean god has anything to do with anything.
