[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read the whole thread but I can easily see how someone can believe in God despite an imperfect world.  You just assume that God is not all-benevolent.  Humans have existed for millennia with God and Gods that are vindictive, flawed, have weaknesses, and have cruel and immoral tendencies.  [b]It's really not that difficult of a concert since we tend to anthropomorphize dieties and so many of these characteristics are familiarly human[/b].[/quote]

Not the Abrahamic God. There is nothing pagan, human-like (even His anger and His love are not human-like), and familiar about Him. That is why the Abrahamic faiths are markedly different than other religions.[/quote]

Ummm...he looks just like a human and he is quite human and flawed in the Old Testament.  He is absolutely anthropomorphized.  Good grief.[/quote]

No He is not. He is completely different than pagan deities that you are thinking of. Abrahamic God was/is the only god that was/is monotheistic and omnipotent among all other deities of that region or any other region for that matter.[/quote]
