So you would credit good actions performed by an atheist to God? To whom would you credit evil?enkidu said:

Alex, I'll take "Who are Roadies for 500."
I think everyone should be able to believe what he/she want's.
Even if it is something as stupid as Christianity, or most other relegion's for that matter.
I just hate it when I get confronted with it everywhere I go.

That's what it means to be a disciple of a rabbi, you're whole life is centered around following your rabbi............a concept most Christian either don't know or don't want to know.Tenchiro said:

That's the whole point fluff, well said.fluff said:
Who would he credit evil to? Evil comes from man of course, because men are inherently bad and only through god (who is an external entity, enkidu's pantheistic platitudes aside) can we shake off that evilness and try to approach the good.
I beleive they are a cult!Andyman_1970 said:

To the Goodness in the heart of the said atheist. The mystery of evil is, well, a mystery to me. Like the well placed shadows and the shades in masterpiece paintings sometimes they seem to be the necessary essential part of the whole picture. More frequently I just cringe and feel drained seeing so much evil around (esp. in the news stories) and within me. But I try not to stay drained. Sacraments (of reconciliation, eucharist etc.) are time-honored great resources for recharging one's Goodness quotient so to speak.fluff said:
From where does the goodness in the heart of the atheist come? From within or from without?
Just to be clear I wasn't making an argument against christianity, just her view of it in that poem.

From where does the magnificent beauty of the mountains and ocean come from.
Yeah, I would like to know, too.
Perhaps God is responsible for this too...
