Re: A problem with some religous views

So either I am being deceived by my feelings of right and wrong, god isn't good, or that religous view is mistaken.

I'm not sure what you are looking for as what I am about to say has been explained in the thread several times already. You are being deceived by your feelings of right and wrong. The reason for this is because absolute morality comes from God.
Think about a compass. Just as a compass can be made to read incorrectly due to local magnetic fields (minerals, etc.), so is the same with a person's moral compass if he or she is not focused on God.
From what I've read in this thread, you don't seem to object to the statement that we are all sinners. What I meant by my earlier post, is that the fair thing would be for God to send everyone of us to Hell because of our sin. So how is saving a few from the fires of Hell morally repugnant? His offer is open to everyone. It is you who are rejecting it.
