(November 15, 2013 at 2:36 pm)ChadWooters Wrote: Like Ryanology, the subsequent replies of MitchBenn and DT reflect a childish and superficial literalism about the nature of God as presented in the deeper meanings of the Holy Scriptures. Perhaps this will clear it up. God represents the highest good, or in neo-Platonic terms, “The Good”. Willing and doing good, because it is good, moves you toward the ultimate good, or God.

Sorry, you can keep claiming that God is good because he's good, but actions speak louder than words. If he created such a place called Hell, then he is not "ultimate good." According to your religion, God created everything, including Hell, and then set up the system where unless people worship him and kiss his ass, he sends them there to be tortured for eternity. Tell me how that makes God the good guy?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
