| Dec 1, 2015 at 4:57 | comment | added | robert bristow-johnson | well, i wouldn't rely on @Ricardo's description of Christian theology to be representative nor accurate. first thing, whether we be Muslim, Jew, Christian, Zoroastrian or whatever (dunno how the Dharmic faiths view God), we protoplasms still don't know diddly about the nature of God, so language like "Surely an omniscient creator does not.." or "A loving God would ensure .." is over-reaching. conventional Christian theology usually thinks that God created humans good, but humanity fell. conventional Christian belief is that God sent messengers as a means of connecting with we fallen beings. | |

| Feb 22, 2015 at 14:13 | comment | added | barlop | In Islam, the instruction is to follow Allah and his Messenger(Mohammed). The statement of belief is belief in Allah and his messenger. Mohammed is the example. The bible does't say follow God and Moses. In Islam mohammed is considered the perfect man and even how he goes to the toilet is copied. Everything mohammed did in his life is an example of how to behave for muslims. | |

| Jul 2, 2013 at 16:13 | comment | added | Annotations | The Christian`s God is interested in building loving relationships. However God refusing to explain the reasons for why evil is permitted is very counterproductive to securing our love. A loving God would ensure available evidence causally sufficient to engender true belief. But God don't ensure this, God created rational beings endowed with inclinations to an enormous spectrum of religious beliefs and denied them warrant for true religion. Is picking the right religion just a matter of lucky guesswork? If the evidence is sufficient, then why are there so many nonbelievers in Christianism? | |
