Tony\'s God (Introduction)

The electorate is generally given the choice between ambitious fallible human beings and ambitious fallible human beings. In many countries there isn’t even a choice of ambitious fallible human beings. You can't always blame the electorate!

For goodness sake. Have a TEA party and put up more reasonable people!!! We did in the USa and it has worked so far!

Dhw (to Tony, 25.11 at 16.06): That is a misunderstanding brought about by my questioning God’s nature and my suggestion that he’s a mixture of all the attributes – good and bad – that he has poured into us, his image. The mixture is at the heart of all my arguments.

DAVID: God is not mixture, but his creations with free will are.

DAVID (to Tony, 21 November at 06.36): ...my God is not what you want your God to be. Where you have extended logic is you want a loving caring God who can advise you, love you. I don’t know that that God exists.

So how do you know that your God is not a mixture? Grrrr, there was me praising you to the heavens for your balanced view, your reluctance to endow your God with specific attributes, and all of a sudden you come up with an all-good God!

We do not know what God is as a personality. I've said this over and over. I've never said God is all good. I don't know. I just can see His creations. Life is good, by my standards, people vary.
