Jesus as evidence God is crazy? (creation, genesis, church, bible)

[Wandered Off]

Here is another link that addresses an Eastern take on how Western theology added "justice" as some kind of higher authority God answers to...

It's a very long read, but it's well worth the time, IMO.

Just to caution people, this is a polemical piece by a rather extreme Orthodox writer. The theology is not wrong (in fact I'd say that the vast majority of Orthodox would have no argument with any of it) but he is rather more anti-Western than is necessary and he excludes certain strands of Orthodox theology which, whilst much more minor for us, are closer to the western view. In other words, take his views for what they are, rather out on the fringe of Orthodoxy. I, personally, found this very helpful during my catechumenate but I'm careful who I would recomend it to.

Thank you for the caveat. Being woefully uninformed on Eastern Orthodoxy, I didn't pick up on that. I enjoyed seeing a different perspective, but your caution is well taken.
