Comments on: Is God Good? http://www.bay-of-fundie.com/archives/148/is-god-good Keeping the Radical Right at Bay Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:21:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Ron Britton http://www.bay-of-fundie.com/archives/148/is-god-good#comment-2580 Ron Britton Wed, 09 May 2007 09:25:11 +0000 http://www.bay-of-fundie.com/archives/148/is-god-good#comment-2580 Why is a theology professor reading my crappy blog?! Anyway, I guess I don't follow your question. The Bible attributes some pretty nasty behavior to God. If God is good, doesn't that mean that all of his behavior is good? Since his behavior clearly isn't good, then the definition of goodness exists outside of God. Are you saying that the Bible is a highly suspect document, considering its age and provenance? Therefore, we don't really know what God is like? If that's what you mean, I would agree with you. In that case, the quotation I presented and my comments upon it really only discredit the notion that the Bible is an accurate description of God. I'm really only here to show the flaws in fundie behavior and thinking, not to discredit religion as a whole. Why is a theology professor reading my crappy blog?!
