["There are parts of the Bible, especially the Old Testament that I find troubling. In some respect, the existance of Heaven and Hell introduces the element of fear, not love." Here's one guy defending his religion, not attacking it]
How many times did God say to fear him in your bible? I believe the count is over 30 times, if you pick and choose I suppose you can find your own perfect God that suits you, but then you go against the very God you believe in.
According to the bible, everything is conformed to Gods will, not your own, you are here to serve your maker, whatever his disposition or plan, but all things are to be conformed to his pleasure, not yours, maybe you're not supposed to understand any attrocity hes responsible for, but look around you, look at the sin, the madness, the evil, God said he created it all, and he created the devil and evil, so whether malevolence is a product of God either directly or a byproduct, it still exists because of an act of God.
Badfish,
