(((Dinah)))
I get that you were kidding :-)

What did I base my notion that god doesn't test us on???

Hmm...

Well...

I am no theologian.

Job...

God allowed satan to test Job.
God didn't do the testing.
He allowed Satan to test him.

In the New Testament (for those inclined to that)
God allowed Jesus to be tested by Satan.
Thats the bit about Satan promising Jesus all these riches and power etc.

Also...

Descartes.
The idea there is that god exists and is no deceiver. God is benevolent and wouldn't deceive us. So how come we are sometimes deceived? The notion is that God has given us free will and people have a tendancy to use that to jump to conclusions and be deceived etc.

Maybe this is more controversial than I had thought???

Perhaps further discussion of this could be redirected to the faith board?

I just meant to say that I get that Dinah was kidding. And she didn't mean to cause offence or anything.

IMO

She wasn't suggesting that Dr Bob is more reliable than god.
