It's not a rant CP, I do apologise. My point should have been that you do expect an answera certain way and are ready to condemn it when it arrives, that's disingenuous. You do make very good informed opinions and have good points sometimes. I just wish the conversation ws face-to-face so I could better read your tone rather through words, because I do tend to read a lot of posturing, disgust, and disingenuine questions in the meaning behind your words, when read.

I don't compare God to an earthly father, I learn about God's fartherly aspects from lessons I've learned as a father myself. Mortality is a fact of our lives and I try to reconcile that in my views of an omnimax God as best I can. I wouldn't go as far as to say surprised personally. Am I surprised that my kids don't listen? No, but I still expect them too. There's no way Genisis could be 100% accurate for literal translation unless you believed that the world was 6000 years old. At least we can agree on that.

I do agree that it does make sense that random selection is a good explination for flaws in a few I don't think it covers flaws in all well enough, nor deals withe origination well enough. That's where we'll have to agree to disagree.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
