Bad Religion - God's Love lyrics

(written by Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz) Greg Graffin; 'Many christian beliefs don't "work" at all. I saw a lecture last week by a very good paleontologist from an Ivy League university. I admire his bravery, although when someone is brave for a lost cause, all I can admire is the bravery. He started outright that he is a theist and believes all of evolution is driven by "God's love." At the end of the lecture I promptly said, in front of the entire audience, "That explanation of evolution doesn't acknowledge all the data. It ignores all the suffering from biological agents: predation, infection, starvation, psychological maladies of humans, etc. How, by any stretch of the imagination, can you convince us that this has anything to do with 'love'?" Of course his answer, basically, was, "The ways of God are mysterious and human suffering is a 'big' question." (Is belief in God, good, bad or irrelevant) God most commonly refers to the deity worshiped by followers of monotheistic and monolatrist religions, whom they believe to be the creator and overseer of the universe.[1] Theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to the various conceptions of God. The most common among these include omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, omnibenevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. God has also been conceived as being incorporeal, a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent".[1] These attributes were all supported to varying degrees by the early Jewish, Christian and Muslim theologian philosophers, including Augustine of Hippo,[2] Al-Ghazali,[3] and Maimonides.[2] Many notable medieval philosophers developed arguments for the existence of God,[4] attempting to wrestle with the apparent contradictions implied by many of these attributes. Philosophers have developed many arguments for and against the existence of God. Conceptions of God vary widely. Theologians and philosophers have studied countless conceptions of God since the dawn of civilization. The Abrahamic conceptions of God include the trinitarian view of Christians, the Kabbalistic definition of Jewish mysticism, and the Islamic concept of God. The dharmic religions differ in their view of the divine: views of God in Hinduism vary by region, sect, and caste from monotheistic to polytheistic; the view of God in Buddhism is almost non-theist. In modern times, some more abstract concepts have been developed, such as process theology and open theism. Conceptions of God held by individual believers vary so widely that there is no clear consensus on the nature of God.[7] The contemporaneous French philosopher Michel Henry has however proposed a phenomenological approach and definition of God as phenomenological essence of Life.[
