If you can explain him and comprehend the Alpha and Omega teh beggining and the end, then I am very scared of you. I don't wanna be able to understand my Onimptent God, who knows everything. I mean if you could understand god that makes you pretty smart and I do not consider myself to be even close to his intellect.

it is in our nature to try to understand and comprehend all things ya know. despite the complexities, we always seem to find a way to do it, right or wrong. if you dont wanna try to understand this god, how will you ever get close to it?? it would be like denying its relationship to you, in you, do you see this? dfh out.

Now, like madhatter said "which version of this book that your refering to?" I did not claim that I wrote any book, it might be fun one day, but that day has not come. I guess you are implying that I am a stoner?? Well sorry but you are way off (nice stereotyping/Judging though), I have studied many different religions and have studied the "Epic of Gilgamesh", the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the "Good Book." You are right that the Truth resides in the "Bible," but it also resides in all religious writings, you just have to find what truth is to you. If you want to take the "Bible" at face value that is your prerogative, but remember that Jesus spoke in parables so this could mean that Christians have got it all wrong.
Fact: the story of Noah�s ark did not originally come from the ones who wrote the "Bible." This story pre-dates the "Bible" by about 1000 years, and comes from Mesopotamia, the city of Uruk. The version in the "Bible" was also a pious exaggeration of the real story (it exaggerates the size of the ark, the animals and people that were brought, on board, and the area that the flood covered, granted it was quite a large area). If you want proof, click here and go to Tablet XI, the whole story is there.
So what am I saying? Well things are not always cut and dry. God created evil and can take it away, BUT God would also have to take away good, seeing how everything has to have an opposite.
P.S. How very Christian of you, being so judgmental, lest ye remember "Judge not let ye be judged." This is something very few Christians fallow, WWJD.
