| This would be such a terrible situation to be in. Fully aware but completely paralyzed, except for your eyes. Every day you pray to god to help you regain control of your body, but he never answers your prayers, and you live the rest of your life in this state. If god exists, why does he cause or a... |

| DOULOS-XPISTOU No offense taken at all. I was just exaggerating exasperation for fun! Maybe I don't know what I am because I have not taken all of the theology and philosophy that define all of these beliefs. When I say Fundamentalist, I mean what is generally accepted as the fundamentals of the Ch... |

| DOULOS-XPISTOU Why can't God decide to take a "hands-off" approach. Why is that not consistent with Fundamentalism? Does this mean that I am not a Fundamentalist as I have always believed myself to be?! !?? Does this put me in the company of the German liberal theologians of the 19th and 20th centu... |

| DOULOS-XPISTOU, First, before any discussion can occur, YOU MUST QUIT MIS-QUOTING ME!! ! In my first post, you said that I first proved god existed, then said he did'nt exist. Go back and read the post. I never said that. Second, you claimed I called you arrogant 2 times. I never said that. ONCE I ... |

| disclaimer: I am not trying to enter this debate because I have never studied argumentation and debate, nor logic and rhetoric, nor philosphy; at least not sufficiently to argue in the eloquent manner that some do on this forum. I am just curious as to why you believe that if God is omipotent and b... |

| ...I am just curious as to why you believe that if God is omipotent and benevolent than the world has to be perfect. Why can't he decide to give humans a free will and "let the chips fall" where they may? Because humans don't have 100% free will. Free will only exists within certian parameters in h... |

Although it would take a real long time to type anything of real significance using that method wouldn't it? Perhaps I'm still missing something... |

| The "best possible universe" argument is based on the "problem of evil" which I have repeatedly posted. No christian I have ever met has succesfully answered it. 1) god is omnipotent 2)god is omnibenevolent 3)evil exists Two of these statements put together cancel out the third. So which statement ... |

| Hello Johnathon79, You don’t want to discuss this with me anymore? So, just ‘cause not everybody agrees with you, you’re going to take your ball and go home? ;-) That might be for the better, because I think your last post proves that we have different agendas. I’m wanting to dialogue and if what y... |

Johnathon79, I’m not surprised, or angry, but I am disappointed. Ar... |

| Also, I´m not sure how things can go differenty than intended. Either they were suppossed to go that way, or theres a mistake. God cannot make things one way, then they turn out another, its either a mistake, or purposeful, either of which calls God perfection into question. Yes - this is exactly w... |

| Johnathon79, Just read your replies. Thanks for the remark, but I didn’t take your response as an attack. Don’t play the very game you accused me of before my recent posts, though. Anyone can sit back and throw darts. Let’s share ideas here. Present an alternate construct instead of picking holes in... |

| Now, let me ask you, do you believe that God is all loving, all knowing, and all powerful? And do you believe that mankind are sinners? The answers to these questions will let me know your true position. Cheers! Now that I've laid the groundwork, here are some of my thoughts on your question: OK, n... |
