If there is no God, why bother to be good? As a matter of fact, there is no God. That is why we have no other recourse but to be good; especially to be good not for nothing, but to be good for something. Otherwise, there is little reason for our having lived. Poch Suzara

Poch, you have a lot about good and God here. I just notice you don't have the word truth? Or maybe I haven't read all the way yet?
Sir, dust art thou and unto dust ye shall return. Is this a truth? Well, if you are dust and God created you in his own image and likeness, then God must be made of dust too. Now isn't it rather mindless down here to be praying to a lot of senseless dust up there? Poch Suzara
Poch, that statement refers to the body only of our being. You and me are spirit, soul and body.Right? When God at creation breath the breath of life you became a living soul.
Sir, you seem to know a great deal about God. But it is alarmingly obvious that God never revealed Himself to you. You are just parroting your teachers in school who frightened you to believe because if you refuse to believe you will go to hell. Please be reminded that among the most stupid of men have been the theologians - they never knew what they were talking about. In fact, the theologians still living know no more than the theologians already dead. Poch
Poch, I disagree! Hell is a state of mind, a condition ( see Parable of the Losts Sons - the elder brother's dispositon is hellish).
I do not believed in Dante's Inferno and Purgatorio. It is a lie. Little Catholics is the one parroting these lies for centuries and scripted the minds of many or most in the church.
Germany, France, USA moved out of that error or never subscribed to that, - the protests you know.
I knew a number of theologians but I am not sure if they are stupid: Karl Barth, Athanasius, C. Baxter Kruger, Thomas Torrance, James Torrance, Father Robert Capon, Ray Anderson, Michael Jinkins, C.S. Lewis, William P. Young. These guys knew GOD in probably the same way you are trying to insist HE should be.
Of course GOD, can never be formed into an image created by us. HE must reveal to you and me what HE really is like.
Poch,
Let us look at what your hero Russell Beltrand has to say about God

excerpt
"The idea that things must have a beginning is really due to the poverty of our imagination."
end of excerpt
We now know that the universe had a beginning some 13.7 billion years ago so Russell is way off on his statement above. I am sure if he was alive today will change his mind too like Antony Flew, a former atheist.
So Anthony Flew, a former atheist changed his mind. He is now a theist.
A believer. Now Please tell me if Anthony Flew's God is a Catholic God or a Muslim God or a Jewish God or just another supernatural moron? Poch
