So something exists that wasn't created by your god? God didn't create Lucifer? Does the Bible indicate Lucifer always co-existed with god?
Yes, something exists that wasn't created by God. Everything is created indirectly by him, but Lucifer and man can create things on their own using free will. God did create Lucifer, but that fallen angel made his own decisions, and wrongly. No, he didn't always coexist with God because he didn't always exist.

And we know this how? According to Christianity, that is. We non-believers have no reason to believe a god ordered the Crusades.
Because it was wrong, disgusting, and totally selfish, unlike what god would have wanted. So you non believers can think something and I can't think that something similar?

How do you address the point that other's religions say you will because you aren't a part of their group? All of you believe your interpretation is the only right one. What, beyond your own conviction, convinces you your belief is right and all those others are wrong?
My faith is what makes me believe in my religion, and not in others. Nothing more, nothing less. I just have to stick with my conviction
I guess.


I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.
C. S. Lewis
