chatpilot: So your parents gave you the right to life not just life (they are two different things). So you are saying that if you have a right to life it is actually wrong for someone to kill you which is absolute morality, so from where does morality come from?
If you then say there is no right to life outside of God that means God is justified in giving or taking life whenever He wishes since our right to life relies on Him. So ether the God of the bible isn't evil based on OT deaths or He is evil but He also exists.
chatpilot second post: Are you equal to God then? Do you think on His level? Would you understand all He understands? Consider that lower IQ people probably couldn't understand Quantum Theory and all its equations why do you think that you compare to God? To say man can't understand everything God does doesn't make man small, it just makes God very big. I know saying God is mysterious seems like saying 'I dont know' which is why I try not to say that, but wouldn't it be wierd if finite humans fully understood a timeless God?
Darwinian: Christians are in love with Christ and our relationship with Him leads us to believe the bible is true. 'Mental gymnastics' - a great phrase lol. As for me I am happy to change my interpretation of the bible so it makes sense with evidence. I think its better to do that and be a theistic evolutionist than be a creationist thought I do understand why they believe what they do.
EvidenceVsFaith: There is reason to believe in God, try going to church with an open mind and search for God.
