[quote] it is because You have based your question on an incorrect belief about God.[/quote]
[quote]Incorrect according to your personal interpretation, Drich . Every Christian has his (or her) own interpretation of what or who God is, and almost all of them clash with each other.[/quote]According to my personal interpertation they are wrong. We all are to one degree or another. Your arguement presupposes than one interpertation is completely right. All any of us can do is scrutinize what we believe and say yes this is consistant with the bible or no it is not. This is all the more important when someone asks a question about the revealed nature of God. We must start by establishing the base line the bible has recorded, and build from that point. It is ok to be wrong as long as you are willing to yield your beliefs to the authority of scripture. Which is what I am pointing out some of you are not willing to do in favor of your current understandings.
[quote]You don't have more evidence for your hypothesis than people who claim that the god of the Bible is the sum of everything good.[/quote]
actually I have the bible which tells us that God allows bad things to happen to 'good people.' And if you want we can go through it line by line.
