EvC has most certainly confirmed most of my beliefs about human beings and human nature , both the positives and the negatives ...
it has also confirmed my beliefs about churchs/organised religions ...
it has most certainly challenged my beliefs about god , but it has not changed my opinion ..

please note here i am talking about god in the widest meaning of the word ....covering all and any religious belief
there has been a number of well writen , well argued posts about the nature of god .....
peoples view of what god is and is not , often expressed at a very personal level in some posts
....of what god is willing to allow and / or not allow
the quality of such post demands my attention and , being the analytical type of person i am , to question why i come to differing view point .
i think its good thing to challenged , after all im only human , i might be wrong some of the time ......

1. If God does not exist, trancendant, objective values of good and evil do not exist
2. Evil does exist
3. Therefore objective values exist and some things are really, basically, fundamentally bad.
4 Therefore God exists
eppp you are opening a massive can of worms if you follow that logic .. . . .
lets not go there as it gets very messy and asks so very err "difficult" questions about man and god .

Christianity is very upbeat. Talk of Hell and damnation and the wrath of God doesn't apply to a Christian
thats back to the good old which bits shall we read today , you can put the case either way depending on which parts of OT and / or NT you pick .... and differing churchs pick differing bits .. this is one of the problems xianity has presenting itself , and its , as if often the case ,those who shout loadest get their view in the publics face ... guess its ture the problem is people ...
