Thats why i asked you whether you call this act murder or killing?this is a problem of evil and suffering.If God did what he did so as to bring a greater good,then he's justified.

Ernest,

what god did was definitely murder.

There's obviously a difference between murder and killing. Every time someone takes another person's life, a killing has occured, but not every killing is a murder. Murder is always wrong, some killings are morally right. When god killed the homosexuals in Sodom because they were committing the grave sin of homosexuality, it was a justtified killing. When god burnt alive all the little babies in Sodom because some men were having homosexual sex, then that was a murder. And that's the point I'mtrying to pass across - you can't give god a clean slate for all the killings he has done because very many of them involved innocent people!



Christianity does not teach that God created evil.read about the fall.

Are you sure? Let me quote god verbatim in Isaiah 45:6-7:

I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Surely you won't now say that god was high when he wrote that, ama he was wrong, ama what he meant was something else!

Also god created Satan, who is blamed for all evil. God knew before he created Satan that Satan would end up rebelling against him and unleashing his evil in the world. Therefore if you do actually beleive that god mispoke in the verse above and didn't create evil, then you have to at least hold him culpable here for creating Satan!



The over 15 arguments for the existence of God,Cosmological arguments,teleological argument,ontological argument,argument from knowledge,moral argument,Arguments from testimony,Argument from a Proper Basis,Arguments from historical events,fine tuning argument etc

I hope you know that they have all been disproved. Most of them are logical fallacies. Starting with the Cosmological argument i.e. everything that exists must have a cause. The universe exists, therefore the universe has a cause, and that cause is god. This argument is flawed in so many ways. Kwanza, Christians argue god has no cause, meaning that there are some things that exist bila a cause, thus trashing the argument. Also, even if the argument is true that everything has a cause, how do we know that the cause behind the universe is god? etc.

Please go and read about the arguments against all those things you listed, it might be quite eye opening.
