If you believe in the God of the Bible, why try to prove it logically?

But the statement "God is good" has 2 possible interpretations, with very different implications. Surely the believer has to at least decide which it is they believe.

Not at all. Goodness has only one meaning. To be good. What you're suggesting isn't good. It's a very much lower standard. One that would contradict the nature of God and the logical possibility of his existence.

Quote:Your version of god gets to play fast and loose with his nature. That's all good fun.
Does God's nature have goodness, or is goodness the property of being in God's nature? This gets us nowhere.

God doesn't 'have' goodness. God -is- good.
Goodness isn't a property of God. God -is- goodness.
