Perhaps...  I remain as unconvinced by Charley's argument as I do by Paul's.
The (apparent) inability to know g-d does not mean that g-d is good.  G-d 
says that g-d is good, but then crazy eddie says that crazy eddie is good.

Under the circumstances I will opt, with Charley, to continue seeking
understanding but I will try not to preform my conclusions.
