This is my issue with mainstream christianity.
How does a panel of bishops in ancient times when the world was still flat get to determine what God is like? If they received direct communication from God on this matter, why aren't THEIR words in the bible like all the other people that spoke to Him.
Personally, I think a lot of the problem lies in how we phrase the question.
Here are some others to cast new light in it:
-If there is a god and he did make us, why make us the way we are? Why are we so different from animals that work mainly on instinct and why is that free will so important?
-If there is a God, and there is a reason for the above, what is the plan? To let us continue or is there an end to the 'project earth'?
-If this life is all there is according to some people, should people who believe in a god and the god-given right of free will allow those people to live their lives like there is no tomorrow?
-If there is a god, does that mean the presence of an equal but opposite deity? (Satan, lucifer whatever) What is that personage's ultimate role? If all things need an opposite, is Satan really bad or is he just fulfilling a role?
Welcome to the hell of theology.
