If god is always good, explain all of the genocide described in the bible. Countless innocents 'died' (of course im agreeing what take place in the bible is true for the sake of argument) for the sake of what is 'good'? Because the bible demands of us to follow the example of god are we to randomly destory each other or go to hell becuase we want to live the life we want to?
Your god seem to be full of emotion making judgements randomly rather like a Dragonforce riff (for those of you who dont know: http://www.clevver.com/music/video/14037...lames.html). For example:
Numbers 15:35
'And the Lord said unto Moses, The man [who was found picking up sticks on the sabbath] shall be surely put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones.'
ok, man picks up sticks (to make a fire, living?) on a sunday, therefore he should die..... have i lost you yet? hopfully not cuase Exodus 23:7 says somthing that contradicts Numbers: 'The innocent and righteous slay thou not. '
you can say that the man is guilty for living the life he wanted to, but really he isnt. God in this instant is EVIL, he demands complete domination over his 'children' without comprimise rather like a dictator.
If God is a dictator and we are saying we should follow him (and in turn be granted 'salvation') blindly, you have already damnmed youself for saying: "That doesn't always coincide with our interests". You're quite blatantly disagreeing with god (i would get suntan lotion ready buddy
).Also to finish up: Your argument was already moot when you said: 'Nature is beautiful, good and bad.' Cuase you already said: 'God is always good.' Because your blible told you essentialy that nature is an extention of god (ergo he created it), you have contradicted yourself by saying god is both good and evil (after saying he is absolute good).
So before we continue....tell me is god good or evil?
