I'd be interested to hear your viewpoint.
Chad, I understand that because morality is subjective it means evil just about doesn't exist for you. What I'm wondering is this: does evil necessarily need to be objective for God to fail in the omnibenevolent department? In other words, take those that e.g. die before their 1st birthday and tell me, is there a perfect explanation as to why this can't remotely be 'bad'? (I.e. bad enough to start questioning God's properties).
Related or not, the answer 'God works in mysterious ways' doesn't cut it. Jesus is often described as 'the word of God alive' so either let me know how he works or accept that even the god(s) are a subjective human construct that moulds around a person's wishful thinking.
