Knowing everything and allowing evil

[The Grand Nudger]

i think you've missed the point. you don't have to listen to your parents, true. but when they say look both ways when you cross the street, they're not being arbitrary. they have a reason for telling you so. likewise, God has a reason for giving us his commandments.
personel whim does not equal God said so. doing something because you were told to by someone you trust is not arbitrary. you may not understand why but that doesn't mean the reason does not exist.

so you say you will worship the word of God which is good but not God himself? all that is good comes from God and therefore you cannot worship what is good without worshiping God. but if you wish to worship the earth, i don't care. i however will worship something greater than this earth.

and last of all, God does not seperate us from what is good. he does not channel good to us from something else. he is the source of all that is good. he is no middleman. you can worship all that you see that is good, or worship the one who created it. you can give credit to the painting or the artist.

I didn't miss a point you don't have a point. I concede the argument, god has reasons. I'm going to worship those reasons instead of god. It doesn't matter to me what any words of god might be. There are reasons. I don't even know what those reasons are, but we're agreeing that they exist. We're not talking about paintings are we? Put down the bulleted sound byte sheet.
