Actually, I don't recall saying anything about an anthropomophic god, my remarks on anthropomophism were referring to your calling death or evolution "evil" and "cruel."
Giving feeling type labels to nature just seems weird coming from someone who labels himself a nihilist.

Re: its a big misunderstanding
So your anthropomophism just disproved your concept of an "all-good" god. That is not an argument against a creator, just one particular concept of one.

Re: its a big misunderstanding
Why?
Why would a god have to be all good?

Re: its a big misunderstanding
Not looking for opinion, what is your reasoning?

Re: its a big misunderstanding
What he's saying is that they are logically in the wrong to do so.
The issue is that only if you subscribe to that one particular version of christianity is the position illogical.
If you do not share that view it isn't illogical to accept evolution along with christianity.

Re: its a big misunderstanding
But even YOU believe that "God created the situation of suffereing and death of living things"...
Even if you claim that it is human folly that led to the fall, the situation stands that god allowed, accepted, set up, knew in advance...that the fall would entail "suffereing and death"
And if you say that none of the above paragraph is correct then you do not accept omniscience or omnipotence and you have the same problem you claim that everyone else does.
