    Cofty,

    I asked, "On what basis do you believe he (God) should have?"

    If you have an answer I would appreciate reading it. Why do you believe God should have prevented the tsunami? I know you don't believe in God but even so you must have an opinion as to if God did exist why he should have prevented it.

    I answered your question Pelican...

    In what way do you think my answer is lacking?


    If there is a creator god who passively observed the tsunami wipe out a quarter of a million people he/she is not loving.

    He/she also made a cock-up when he designed the way plate boundaries interact.

    My question was why God SHOULD have prevented it. I know you believe it is unloving and so on but in your opinion why SHOULD he prevent these things? Because he is loving? Is that why he should?

    I don't do semantic games Pelican, please make your point.

    My guess would be that you are going for the presuppositional defense combined with the cannard that atheists have no basis to judge anything as good or bad.

    Am I getting warm? Please say yes!

    So what's your point Pelican? Was I close with presuppositionalism and objective morality?

    I just asked a simple question. You can read it just a few posts above. No need for me to repeat it.

    Seems mighty strange to be asking an Athiest to explain the mysteries of god. Surely you as a believer need to defend or at least give others an explanation of your faith Pelican

    I am curious about your thought on this Cofty..

    So defining good and bad just "evolved "over time by trial and error then , until at last all of us humans arrived at some sort of general consenus ?
