What an idiot that third bricklayer was! Clearly god wanted that cathedral to be destroyed, then he comes around thinking he knows better than god!

He'll have eternity to reflect on his mistake.

That could be or after an accident he wanted it rebuilt .. We all have a job or purpose in life.

It was required by God that we be born of woman (soul) That's it .. you don't know why/what reasons God chooses who he does. He must have a purpose for them ..

So...you choose to follow a mythology where god needs tens of thousands of dead babies every day to be happy?

You realize this makes both you and your god a sociopath, right?
