That is not my argument.

The premise is:

1. My moral sense tells me that a god that enforces the given statement is repugnant.

The argument is:

If 1. is true then either my moral sense misleads me, god is not good, or any religon that subscribes to the view in the statement is mistaken.

Thats the whole argument. I will go on to claim more but need to start somewhere, have I got anything wrong so far?

chez,

This sounds good. I have to get some sleep. But I want to leave you with some ideas (David S. touched upon these quite a bit actually) :

What about the baby in Africa who just died form AIDS at 4 days old? Or the Buddhist monk who never heard of Jesus? Or your own gift to us The Who’s Tommy? My God will be harsher on me who does believe than these examples?
