Just a thought to add to the list. Until there is substantial evidence to the contrary, assume you should... Refrain from blaspheming the God you claim to know so little about? Talk about wanting to have your cake and eat it to. You want to keep all the Christian moral and ethical virtues while denying the underlying basis for them. "God considers... God does... God wants..." Reason, emotion, volition, morality, sounds like a personal God to me. Sounds an awful lot like the God of the bible. Does it not seem reasonable to expect that such a God as you have described would want to communicate with the created beings that most closely resemble your description of this assumed God, namely humans? How would such a God go about the task of communicating with His creatures? Perhaps he could appear in the form of fire? Na that would just scare them. Perhaps an earthquake or a flood maybe he could speak to one man and then have him be his spokesman, sort of a prophet. He could speak to that one face to face and then verify his words by performing miracles. That would never be enough though (people would be crying for substantial evidence) he would have to show up himself. If you want something done right you gota do it yourself. If mercy and justice were ever to meet then this question of sin would have to be dealt with. Oops doesn't exactly cut it, so if this God wanted to maintain justice then sin's account must be settled. "The wages of sin is death". Somebody has to die or God cannot be good and just, but what about mercy? "the gift of God,..eternal life". It can be found only in the substitutionary death of the God-man, Jesus Christ! Merry Christmas everyone. Greg
