The perfect God

THE PERFECT GOD

This is in response to Rebone’s recent article about the Jewish/Christian God. She elaborates on reasons why God is imperfect. One of the more vociferous atheists, Atheitis aka Godfrey made a comment to the effect that He should be called a “useless God”. His reason is that God never does anything. Some other atheists ask for “empirical proof” of the existence of God. Others pose questions such as “Where was God when Anene Booysen was murdered? “ or “Why would a loving God send a tsunami that killed thousands of people?” or “how can a loving God allow so many children to suffer?” Francois Marais also posted an article saying that God was “unfair”, and Framcois said that if he was not so busy he would write a book on whether God is fair or unfair.

Clearly there are many on this forum who appear to justify their non-belief in God by siting examples where God has (in their eyes) failed.

Now I ask all of you to let me know in the comments section what your idea of a perfect/ useful / loving God would look like. To those that would say “God does not exist so there is no need to think about what God would be like”, I ask you to use your imagination. What would God (assuming He/She/It existed) have to do to convince you that (he/she/it) existed? Many atheists also say that the Christian God is imaginary, So Please atheists tell me about your perfect imaginary God.

There are many people that are very quick to say why God is imperfect / useless, so this should be an easy task for you as you must know what would expected of a perfect God.

 I look forward to your replies.
