davidpearlshaun: Ditto, i'm always using that same argument replying several posts :)

Adey: "Yes but it does not naturally follow that it is a god, a personal god, who intercedes in your life, even knows who you are, delivers benifits, punishments and an afterlife - does it?"

I agree with you but would like to state that according to Monotheism, God is perfect, and a perfect being is impartial, for him, human life is as important as all other life in the Universe.
Also would like to tell you that regardind the deaths caused by God and Satan, i fully agree with you and would like to add that if God could destroy 2 cities, create a huge flood, why would he ask to an imperfect mortal to do acts on his name? I tell you that it's a lie, just used to try to show to others that some mortals that they were
God's choosen ones when, in trueth, God hasn't any favourites.
Would like to say also that it's a nice post, we are racionals and we should be able to discuss without offending anyone.
