(continued from previous post) Even if Cameron and Comfort answer back that Gods perfect standards demand perfection, we have no reason to believe that a perfect being would demand perfection. In fact a perfect being could, out of his perfect understanding, not hold us to perfect standards because he would understand that they are impossible to meet. Just as I, having a healthy brain, wont demand the same language skills from a mentally retarded person.

(continued from previous post) If I play Yankee Doodle Dandee on the piano, that doesnt make me a pianist. If I give to a charity once, that doesnt make me a philanthropist. If I yell at someone once, that doesnt make me hateful. One can reverse this against Cameron, Comfort, and their ilk. All Christians have doubted their faith at least once. If that is the case, then by their logic there are no Christians because the action (i.e. doubt) characterizes their whole existence (continued).

Anyone, with elementary reasoning skills, can see how illogical Cameron and Comfort's line of reasoning is. After all, a few isolated actions, in a person's life, doesnt cause any sensible individual to label that person based on those actions. If I account for my taxes once, that doesn't make me an accountant. If I hit a baseball once, that doesn't make me a baseball player (continued)
