Indeed EvF. The point of initiating this thread was to demonstrate that given morality, free will, and evil, the God concept makes at least equal sense:

- being all evil allowing people to freely do good
- being all good allowing people to freely do evil

The argument that it makes more sense, is harder to carry off but then if we consider how hostile our universe is outside of our own atmosphere and the god of the OT then we are starting to build up a profile.
