quantum,

Your problem, or attack on my thesis appears to be with your fear of or misunderstanding of Omnipotent and Omniscient. God is both.

Why does God have to lack humor? He see all that was or is or will be humorous at the same time! He calls his creation "Good." He can have feeling of the Whole creation, and a single place and point in time! And yet he gives us free will, so we can make him happy, sad, or angry.

Jesus is the Son of God. His Power comes from His Father, and so He is infallable, because of His Father.

Miracles are not well understood by the church. Mainly, because there don't appear to be concrete rules as to why, or how they work. And so, many christian ask themselves, "Why do children get sick at all?" While the church can has several rules about the faith of the leader, the candidate, and the community, some are healed and some not. A divine mystery I suppose, as "suffering is a part of the human condition" (Pope JPII).

God is definetly to be feared, and he well may be impossible to fit in nice tidy rules. Aetheism is a fools bet; You bet everything that you get nothing rather than betting everything that you get everything. . . Primarily do to a lack of will to SEEK the truth.

I believe this is exactly the sort of post arryn was speaking of. You state your beliefs, but base them upon very little other than 'they are true'. As for the somewhat absurd comparison to betting, being agnostic is the ultimate safe bet. If you consider that in theory, every religion has an
equal chance of being true, at the point when you die there are a lot more religions that would forgive you for being unsure than for choosing the wrong one.

@scott: Where they believe it comes from does not much make a difference from the point of view of being a danger to society and themselves. Say Bob believes he can walk through fire unharmed because he has studied with the warlocks of Zaxxon, Fred believes that a god is putting a divine shield around him to walk though fire. How can you say Bob is more a danger?
