I said: I also have a problem with the monotheist omnimax god-concept , but I am in between a rock and a hard place since that is the God revealed by my religion. The best I can do is say that I do not agree that God has all those characteristics attributed to Him.I would like to understand the problem you have. I think you are taking a rational approach to theology, so I would like to ponder over what your problem is that you came across taking this approach. Yet, if I am wrong please do correct me.
I do not know what you mean by me taking a rational approach to theology, but I respect your opinion because you know a lot more about theology that I do.

My issue is that I do not necessarily believe that God has all the attributes that other Baha'is and Christians believe He has, such as All-Loving, All-Merciful, Omnibenevolent, Just, etc. I believe that God is Infallible, All-Powerful, All-Knowing and All-Wise because it makes logical sense to me that God would have to have those attributes in order to be God, but in order for me to believe that God is All-Loving, All-Merciful, Omnibenevolent and Just, I'd have to see some evidence of that as reflected in this world. I cannot believe it solely based upon scriptures.
