[quote]How can mere mortals (us) rationalize for an all powerful and all knowing being (God)? Maybe a plausible reason is to bring about good through evil. For example, your bad argument might bring good from it by helping someone closer to realizing God exists.[/quote] How did I make a bad argument? What I said was intended to point out christianity's self-contradictions. Not an argument. Also, I should point out that the only reason religeon still exists is this: [quote]Ages ago people started asking questions about the world that they didn't know the answers to. So they made up some answers that made the most sense to them. Those answers were expanded upon and passed down through the generations and some people started taking them seriously and thus religion was born.[/quote] I found that in another thread.
