Oklahomans getting Jesus-shot from convicted felon
March 7, 2014 at 11:33 pm
John Michael Lonergan was a doctor. He was also a prison inmate, incarcerated for tax evasion. After getting out of prison, he moved from Ohio to Oklahoma and began practicing medicine under state supervision, but the state of Oklahoma decided to terminate that agreement in March 2013, meaning he can practice without supervision. However, it's recently been discovered that he's been offering people a miracle "Jesus shot" for $300 that is supposed to cure any pain. No clue what's in the shot, though.

I kid you not. I don't understand how even the most naive, fundamentalist Christian would ever fall for this.

Someone claimed that the highest IQ in Oklahoma was 10.

That's a grievous misrepresentation, sir.

It's 5.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

I thought for sure this one was about a gun and some hicks.
