The Perfect Conundrum?

[Katzpur]

I'm afraid everyone missed my point. I struck out big time on that one.

I'm a theist because the perfect conundrum we're in points to an intelligent design.

Guess it didn't strike a chord.

I did with me. I got your point and I've pretty much come to the same conclusion myself.

I am sorry, obviously I misread your OP; I agree with you and Kathryn about this world being a 'test' - especialy in that we are to accept everything 'in Faith'. I think that is the main deal, the other test, which both you and Kathryn have highlighted is the one of being free to choose between good and bad. Apart from man's laws, there is little evidence of any harm in doing 'bad' things; I guess that is just how God wanted it to be - his own 'personality' and purpose totally hidden from us, to make the test as 'good' as it can be.

Am I losing it or what? Would you point me to the thread you are referring to? None of what I supposedly said is ringing a bell at all!

There are bibilcal examples of God frustrating man's attempts at understanding. My whole premise is, why would God do this?

Precisely. You begin with God as premise and then fabricate a conundrum which you then claim as evidence of God. It is a wholly worthless circular argument.

I challenge you to name me one thing you know for sure.

I know for sure that your argument does not demonstrate a grasp of reason.
