Hi Edmund:

Interestingly, I can accept religion as faith but I got problems with religion as rational, objective thought. So I can understand when people say they believe god exists on faith. But when god is said to be able to stand up to rational and objective thought, then I have difficulty. Worse still, right after saying god is rational and objective, the next thing is that god is mysterious and beyond man's understanding. It's like "huh?".

>>>We walked away from God not vice versa. We do not acknowledge Him as God, and neither gave thanks (Romans 2)<<<

Well, for one thing, if he is to make himself more visible and accessible to people, he will find more people coming to him, acknowledging him and giving thanks to him, starting with me.

>>>Which is more just, to stamp out sin immediately, implying stamping out all humanity as all have sinned,...<<<

I don't see why god need to stamp out humanity in order to stamp out sin. Again contradict his all-powerful nature.

>>>...or to wait through time, allowing suffering/sin/unjust events so that some can enjoy eternal life?<<<

Not this either. An all-powerful and all-loving god can stop evil and suffering AND still provide his subjects with eternal life.

>>>The logical error of assuming God and His character and allowing of sin to exist at the same time is incompatible.<<<

Don't quite get this.

Regards.
