Do you want God to "keep the balance"? I Don't.

Just watching Avatar on DVD at home with the family the other night when the line jumped out at me. Near the end of the show, when Jake Sulley is questioning himself and his quest to free Pandora of the "Skypeople," he asks Eywa to help him. His girlfriend Neytiri replies, "Eywa doesn't take sides, she keeps the balance."

I'm not sure about you but I want a God who does take sides -- one who chooses the side of good over evil, who chooses right over wrong. Because a God who chooses to keep the balance makes sure that there is just as much evil in the world as there is good.

For an example of a God choosing right over wrong, take a look at the story of Jesus.
