(It probably isn't, but we'll let that go by right now.) Personal testimony is selective. Those who believe in the deity of infinite goodness remember the good things that happen. Those who believe in a maltheistic diety remember all the bad things that have happened. Both may be remembering accurately or neither may be remembering accurately depending on your point of view. Actually it is a bit unfair to bang on the Christian propensity for personal witness here. This *is* net.religion.christian (though it often doesn't seem that way.) Perhaps the discussion should remain in net.religion. -- Byron C. Howes ...!{decvax,akgua}!mcnc!ecsvax!bch
