Hours ago DrBarb asked if anyone wanted to debate the life of Christ. DrBarb was well educated on the subject. But so were John Calvin and Martin Luther, both of whom were more interested in their personal and intellectual validation than they were fearfull of misstating the nature of God or Christ. They were quite willing to create God in their image (concept of what they wanted God to be). Besides, Dr Barb may have been educated at the well know anti-catholic Georgetown University which invalidates any presumption of theological mastery. If God does not exist criticism of God's nature is irrelevant and meaningless. If God does exist such criticism is likewise irrelevant and meaningless - and potentially eternally damning.
