That's somewhat unreliable logic.

Yep - you'll get a lot of that from Andy.

For me, God is Love. By that I mean that perfect Love is the superlative that I would like to ascribe to God. That, for me eliminates the possibility of a God of power and might - not that Love doesn't have a power of sorts, but it achieves the changes that it brings about, by persuasion rather than coercion. Love, by its very nature, cannot force or compel.

I think that Christianity needs to abandon the god who fixes things by intervening, miraculously in nature. I don't think that sort of a god is tenable any longer in our scientific age.
It's not just what you're given, it's what you do with what you've got.
