LOL
Sure. Make up any God you like. But that has absolutely nothing to do with what GOD actually is. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

No, it presupposes nothing and yes, you are free to suppose most anything.

nwr covers much of it, but there is a far simpler reason. Christianity is a relatively new religion, only been around for 2K years and so the possible number of Christians is small when compared to all the other possibilities.
There will simply be far more atheists, agnostics, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Taoist, Buddhists, animists ... that have lived the life of Christ than Christians. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Why can I not indict God?
The Bible certainly says that I can.
Genesis 3 writes: 22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: Genesis 18 writes: 23And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 25That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? We are charged to judge even God's behavior and to point out where God is behaving poorly. If a God knowing creates a critter that will be damned then that God is evil.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Do you know what a "Poe" is?
Are the following quotes from the Western Canon?
Genesis 3 writes: 22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: Genesis 18 writes: 23And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 25That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

Phat writes: Has it been your experience in your spiritual beliefs that it appears that what God says (in the books) is unreasonable, illogical, or unrealistic? HUH? That sentence makes absolutely no sense. Try rewording it and perhaps I might be able to offer some answer.
Phat writes: In your preferred chapter of club Christian, are people actively encouraged to question the Bible? HUH? Again, what does that even mean?Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Phat writes: 1)Does the Bible suggest that God is unreasonable, illogical, or unrealistic? Again, there is no such thing as "the God of the Bible". There are many such critters. And it is not a matter of suggestion but rather what the different stories actually say. And yes, many of the gods found in the Bible stories are unreasonable, illogical and unrealistic. Consider the god found in the Exodus myth or the one found in Joshuah or Kings. Consider the god found in Genesis 2 & 3.
Phat writes: 2) Are Anglicans and Episcopalians encouraged to question the Bible and in what it says or means for believers and people in general today? HUH?Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

The God described in the Nicene Creed is the God described in the Nicene Creed.

So God does not have foreknowledge?

Again, whether we can know or not is irrelevant.
The question is "Is a God that has complete foreknowledge and is the creator of all that is, seen and unseen and that send some people to hell evil?"Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
