Hahah yeah I see. There are basicly two ways to approach this Ian.
If you subscribe to a belife that is unreasonable, I.E. that a creative God exists, then dues to the lack of objective evidance, and as I'm sure you'll already realise, then any claim you make on that belief must be treated the same as any other claim. Or I belive in God therefore I can make any claim about God. Secondly. For every theist the ultimate authority on their theist belife must be the holy scripture they subscribe to. In my case Guru Granth Sahib, paints a pictire of a God that is not wrathfull but all loving. The idea of karmic responsiblity shows a God that gives us all chance upon chance upon chance of meeting God, so therfore no hell. The rest of my claims are simular deductions based upon both my previous meditations before Sikhi on the nature of what God is, and from Guru Granth Sahib. Therefore any scripuure that runs contrary to this belife, I can claim as being scriture adultarated by the hands of mankind.
