Isn't it amazing how such a hyper-benevolent being apparently needs either a reason or abasement in order to help people, and yet I, a flawed and less moral being, am going to do charity work tomorrow for no reason other than to help people? Wow, what a great god you have!

As for the rest... can you say No True Scotsman, everyone? Rolleyes

The "no true Scotsman" fallacy was invented out of thin air by Anthony Flew and has never been accepted as a logical fallacy by any real thinker.

I don't even make the argument that God is always good. I do argue that he has no particular reason to speak to anybody on this planet but a praying grandmother. Yet he is good enough to do so, and you have greatly benefitted from the words Jesus spoke, before you stood silently (in effect) as evil men got rid of him. Beyond that your argument is a straw man.

Speaking of fallacies, here is one that unbelievers do every day. It's called "false in one part, therefore false in all." Ever assume the Bible is all suspect because part of it is false? That seems to be a surprisingly common logical error on sites like this, no?

I have a list of logical fallacies committed by "freethinkers" every day, if you are interested in seeing it.
