Are You Religious?

Life itself is a paradox, so that's an endless loop.

As I said, an evil diety could exist. I just don't think one does. As has been mentioned here elsewhere, evil is a consequence of free will.

And as for "what's literal and what's not" -- I don't really care if Abraham is literal (and most people think he is), it doesn't affect the truth of the implications (the if-then statements) of the bible.
