Just a couple of comments: Be very careful Dave! In virtually the same breath you mention that one should not judge, then proceed to accuse Tim of blastphemy and of being a hypocrite. "Judge not, lest ye be judged." You place your arguments in a perspective which is impossible to argue: 1. You believe the God is the absolute standard of good. 2. This makes God infallible in your eyes. 3. Therefore, ANY argument is begging the question. I don't know if I will ever understand the necessity of an all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful god to create fallible beings and then condemn them for their fallibility. I don't know if I will ever understand the fear, ignorance, vengance, and violence perpetrated in the name of religion and justified by being the servant of an infallable, absolute moral standard. -- Dave Burris ..!ihnp4!ihopa!burris AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, Il.
