Old testament v. new testament

[Captain Scarlet]

@ Min - we're talking reality here... if you choose misery in reaction to your predicament then you suffer twice.

If you want to pick one and research it you'll see that you are mistaken. If, having researched it you find a genuine statement on the evil nature of God then please present it. I've yet to find one.

Its a prima facie argument (I did state that my knowledge is limited in this space), but if a god had killed 10's, 100's, 1000's of innocent children, then I would say that counts against him being all loving and is more consistent with being all evil. And that, this is a simpler explnation than the "grand plan" argument which is totally unsatisfying. As for doing research are you talking theological research? I know its sounds closed minded but I do find it is always disappointing spin conducted in a hemitically sealed environment going round in circular argumentation. Equally if I researched the Clash of the Titans would I find that Zeus was all loving despite his ordering Posiden to release the Kracken on the inhabintants of a greek city state?
