You think that's warped ! A stripper told me that one of the other girls used to read the Bible in the dressing room !

Please don't take this personally...
I'm sure you must realize that many of us have come to some of the same conclusions long ago. Sometimes I get the impression that you feel you are enlightening us, but I'm certain that this is not your intension.

Are you postulating the "Dieu Trompeur" view of a diety,a God that creates demons that give rise to an anger that challenges faith?

btyger said:As for getting what you deserve, that's the most untrue thing I've ever heard you utter. Did Stalin get what he deserved? Did Allende? What about the kid dying of leukemia? Is that what she deserves? Life is far more random than people like to admit. And, in the end, we all get the same fate, though some of us lead far better lives than others.
You say that God saved you from taking your life years ago. You saved your life, not God. We all invent Gods to protect ourselves and save us from our fears. We see SPs to escape our boredom, our sense of futility.

Assuming that God exists,as per your posts. I hold the contrary position.General Gonad said:eastender,
Now that you mention it, I guess I do believe in the the "Dieu Trompeur" view of a diety. Our faith is constantly being challenged and it's not always easy to reconcile the amount of evil in the world with the view of an all-encompassing God that loves us all.

How can God be loving while creating evil? Using your model, innocent infants born out of love become disposable as a means of testing the parents faith.
How can such a God be viewed as loving? Would love not be a tribute to the human soul,spirit or mind that creates such an evil diety?
