Paul Copans has always befuddled me. I haven't read his books, but I've listened to a number of his lectures, interviews and debates. He consistently avoids Biblical passages and proofs that are distasteful to him for which he doesn't have a good explanation. He can't bring himself to let the chips fall where they may. (If he has a good explanation in his books, I wish he'd bring it out in his lectures/interviews). The perfect example is that he never gave a straight answer to the question "Did the Israelites ever actually destroy defenseless women and children as the Bible says?" , even though his assumptions necessarily bring him to that conclusion. But he won't say it. Why not?
God is only love and compassion.
"Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love"
1 John 4:7-8
PS: I'm not atheist I believe in God more than you think, and since I'm not an NPC, I try to seek out the truth.
