   I agree.
   I believe it is useless to argue on matters of faith.
   I think it is funny when a christian states something is  not "logical"
   or that something is "logical".
   Ultimately, the Christian arguement is based upon  Faith.
   However, all Laws of the Universe work independently of Faith.
   That means, if one has to have faith for it to work then it is not
   based upon the Laws of the Universe.  I submit most religions, including
   christianity are not based upon the Laws of the Universe and are therefore
   FALSE religions.

  I think it is ironic that the evil god people have the same God concept
   that the good god people have.  i.e. One god, human like qualities,
     all powerful, mysterious, etc.

  Since I believe this "model" of god is incorrect, I usually think
  both sides of the evil vs. good god arguement are wrong.

 This simply "model" of god is an insult to god.  The Bible is an insult to
 god.  God is the Universe, yet the Bible has limited Universal application.
