To ”Rational’ Theists and Creationists (because you are both the same really)
Put you bibles/korans/torahs/etc/etc down for a second and think. Pretend your book of choice does not exist for just a moment if you can.
Take away your book and all you have left are arguments for deism!!!!
faith (yes, faith -- or maybe one of phat's sockpoppets, hard to tell) asked me drop a comment in this thread for her, that "you can't prove God except by the Book."
i don't think i agree, but then we never agreed on much. i think the book itself is as much a matter of faith as anything else. personally, i look at it as a very human guide -- many people telling you ways to know god. and you can't prove god at all.
Look around you. Aren’t all those difficult theological questions about pain, death, suffering and evil much better answered by an uncaring and indifferent creator?
not neccessarily. defending for a second the biblical ideas, pain and evil are often quite purposefully inflicted by god. sometimes for very good reasons -- sometimes not.
