Listen dude. You can tailor any crap you want to fit your own scope of what seems like an acceptable claim, but you need to realize that ANY of these claims have logical contingencies. This is why God continues to fail. It's not your opinion that makes God a valid claim, it's how he holds up logically. Either his benevolence has no limits, or its limited. If he is limited, he's hardly a God of unlimited potential. If he's got limits of any kind, he fails as a God. So, when you tailor His abilities to fit your opinion, you present a version of God that logically fails. When you say that i've only shown that the God I expect fails, you are suggesting that the logic God is subject to is different than the logic everything else is. This is another uninformed argument, as the laws of logic are absolute. My opinion has nothing to do with the validity of anything. Faith is either...
1) Starring the logical uncertainty in the face, accepting that what you are presented is illogical and unreasonable, and choosing to continue it anyway
2) Not having the intellectual capacity or inclination to have ever considered having such logical justification, and just holding a belief based on opinion.
You seem to have a mix of the two.
