CelticBear’s Musings

Friendly Atheist today posted a link to a blog site of someone who used to be a creationist, fundamental evangelical Christian who realized the fallaciousness of it all after a long path of critical thinking and examining the evidence:

• Unreasonable Faith

I’ve had time only to just start looking into the site, but I like what I see so far. He seems like a good person who sought to make sense of all the “that’s just the way it is” and “God’s ways are mysterious” answers he could no longer just ignore.

He has one article called “Might does not make right, even with God” which discusses the ethical and moral absurdity of an omnipotent and all-loving and merciful God and a world filled with pain and suffering–all because of The Fall. (Something I’ve discussed here at length…pretty much all alone. Hey, how’d this guy get such a big audience so fast?! LOL!)

One of the commentators on that page makes a great little quip:

There is no choice there — God made Eve in such a way that she would succumb to temptation — God made Adam so that he would follow her. If I write a computer program that freezes my computer when I press the “Enter” key, I can hardly complain that my computer freezes when I hit the “Enter” key. Getting mad about it and formatting the hard drive would be silly, right?
