Truthfully...Do you believe in luck?

But they are not self-evident to me.

Don't need your pity. I fully understand you do not have the presuppositions and assumptions that I do.

But neither do I have the presuppositions and assumptions that YOU do. That God is possibly not good, that the Scriptures contain errors, that mankind is universally sinful (not 'innately' because mankind is not innately sinful and the Bible doesn't teach that. See the 'Could Jesus Sin?' thread). What seems self evident to you is not necessarily self evident to me, and vice versa. I understand that.

Which is why I ended my post with this:

And - perhaps most importantly - IF God is real, then we had better be about the business of re-aligning our judgements to be in step with His, rather than judging God for not being what we want Him to be.

And if God is NOT real, then who in tarnation cares one way or the other? Eat, drink, and be merry, cause it's all pointless anyway, in the ultimate scheme of things.
