Why does God need to show His Goodness? NoOneMan Jan 2013 #13

It's not a need, it's a choice. rug Jan 2013 #14

I care what you believe ,,,, you were the one that said that you cared not what I believed Angry Dragon Jan 2013 #57

I do. It can so easily lend itself to nonsense that people should know what it actually is. rug Jan 2013 #58

When you use the word 'actually' I take that as being something that can be proved Angry Dragon Jan 2013 #60

That's why many religions have creeds, a common statement of belief. rug Jan 2013 #62
