I'm not argueing the exisatnce of God. I don't care. What I'm arguing is the logic used in that arguement, which is flawed.

I realize the logic is technically flawed. It has to be. I'm trying to represent what to me seems like a pretty mainstream Christian set of beliefs so I can't take into account every possible "way" God could be.
1. Belief in an all-powerful, all seeing, universe creating and controlling god is pretty common, no?
2. He loves us -- this is also a very common sentiment.
3. The devil exists and is capable of tricking or enticing us into going to hell. We know that lots of people believe this.
4. We have free will
These are things I have been told or read that Christians (maybe not all of them) believe.
You may not hold those beliefs but you have to admit that many Christians do hold them all. The contradictions and flawed logic in these (what I believe to be mainstream Christian) beliefs are pretty obvious.
