NO balrog they are not. They are THE universal questions that deal with man's purpose.

Buzz, wrong. They are the questions that you want your religion to answer. And you want your religion to answer them in a specific way, i.e., your way or the highway.

But, more fundamentally, if a god decrees it, no matter how crazy or stupid or irrational, why must it conform to your personal desires or even your understanding?

"But, more fundamentally, if a god decrees it, no matter how crazy or stupid or irrational, why must it conform to your personal desires or even your understanding?"

You are asking me, "Why can't god(s) be crazy stupid or irrational?". Do you realize how crazy stupid and irrational that question is?

God gave us mental facilities, a conscience, a heart, a knowledge or right and wrong, and a knowledge of Himself. And He expects us to use them.

Otherwise, we are back to all is in vain because the universe is crazy. How can I be held accountable for not believing in a system that is crazy and irrational? You can't, at least not with any sense of fairness. That ought to work as a pretty good defense for you.

"Sorry I didn't believe in you God. It's just there were some crazy stupid and irrational religions out there, and I figured they just might be right, so I decided to ignore all religions."

We'll see how that works for you.
