How about you review the problem of evil article, and we’ll go from there.  Also, maybe you post some of this on my forum?

Such as why he created everything. What happened to disturb the great equilibrium? Was he lonely or was he bored? if that is the case then he is not perfect because what is perfect is comeplete and does not seek more perfection.

I do not beleive that the Christian God can be possible if he is the way described in the bible. The Greek philosopher Epicurus said "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? then is he impotent. Is he able, but not willing? then is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" Also Buddhism is not a religion it is a philosphy one can be a Buddhist and follow another religion. Laveyan Satanism is that way too.  yes I did read the article and I did not see anything to convince me whyI should follow Christianity.

I don't see how you can dismiss Islam like this while Christianity itself is riddled with things that contradict each other.

Wow, I usually don't have a huge interest in all the theological stuff, but this article was great! In my methods of social research class, we've learned about Truth with the capital T and lower case t and stuff, and our teacher loves to talk about the existence of God, so I really enjoyed reading this! Thanks! -Jessi Hey Chris!
