But not at all too long given what you had to say, LadyFC. I agree that the all-omni concept of God is shot through with contradictions. It isn't just in the realm of morality. But there is unavoidable dissonance in the realm of morality. There aren't always good choices. There are necessary evils. So if one is saddled with literal-god belief, I suppose one just admits it is beyond their understanding and moves on. Not a very satisfying adaption for most of us.
Looking back over the thread I couldn't help but feel that the agitation you and others exhibited about God's failure to live up to his billing just seemed excessive for a being we don't believe in. When believers come on here and strike a condescending tone I get royally pissed off. But when the person who holds those beliefs is as sensitive not to be provocative as she is, I can't understand the aggressive impulse some showed in this thread. Of course being human and over reacting is always possible and understandable.
