Therefore God is good.
Doesn't show that God is good either. Also good can't exist without bad is complete bullshit.
Yes it does. So your logical objection can be reduced to "oh no it isn't".
The bible doesn't agree with the Qur'an.

When you're doing stuff that enhances life, you're in heaven. When you do stuff that harms you, you're in hell.
Fr0do, I'm actually glad you say this because it's a far more sensible interpretation of the Christian message IMHO. But c'mon, do you really believe this is how most of the New Testament writers interpreted heaven, hell, and salvation...as merely spiritual states that only apply to our presence on Earth?
I know that's what they're saying, yes. But not "only" for our presence on earth.
