So take your pick. Whatever religion or philosophy you feel comfortable
with. But all of them must struggle with the Problem of Evil.
Sorry, but not to me. Good and Evil fit very well in my religion.

It quite a simple philosophy really. God creared every thing. He is all things, both good and evil. Man is the one that said God must be good.....not God. Man has a problem looking at himself and really seeing that he is a complex creature and that he has a mix of good and evil in himself, so he can not imagine a god that has the same mix. Yet God has stated (in the bible, that was written by men) that he created man in his own image.....both good and evil.

Most of the bible was written over 2,000 years ago (1500 actually, but whos counting). It was written in a form that was understandable to the people of that time........not to the people of this time. Do you explain a complex problem to a child of 4 years, the same way you would explain the same problem to a child of 12 or 13?

In my personal beliefs, God does exist and he is a *******. He is not out to help us, but to study us and create problems for us to be able to test us farther. The bible is a great mythology.

thats my beliefs, and I am actually glad most if not all of you will disagree with me.
