A question about original sin.

[C Rod]

Yeah that was a good response, of course, Rogers response led to a re-organization of the dilemna which was even more difficult to escape.

Is God's character the way it is because it is good or is God's character good simply because it is God's character?

Don't worry about being considerate based on my position CRod. If you're holding onto something that you believe is a persuasive argument or piece of evidence, take it to the evidence thread. It's not like the state of the cosmos gives a shit whether or not I'm offended.

Point of all of this, is that you're assuming A that god exists, and B that somehow he sets the moral order by which men can be judged, even unto death. I'm only pointing out to you that these are your assumptions, but not based in anything even closely resembling fact. When you say things like "those people got what they deserved" it just comes off as cruel and pointless.

Why did they deserve it, who did they go against?

I got to eat and think, will get back to you.
