If you like think suffering can bring someone closer to God...

Please tell me your really not that stupid....

I offered to pray what ever it took to find God, for anyone who wanted me to. (Again, this could mean a winning lottery ticket or cancer/aids) This is nothing different than what I prayed for myself and I found God.

You spun that offer for a reason not to have to think about unleashing your hate. Your words tell me that your just looking for a reason to feel justified in your bigotry. You are looking for a key word to turn your logic and reason off, and you found one. Your not giving a f*ck why proves this.

Your words makes you the monster. To wish only "good things" on someone even if it means their long term ruin is beyond contemptible. Would you only allow your kids to eat the cake and candy they want to eat all day every day? Or would you provide them with a balanced diet even if they hated healthy food, and only want to eat what tastes good?

Well lets see. First off I'm not your kid, second off I guess I am a bigot because of my hate the sin not sinner attitude towards Christianity. But what scares me is that your belief system has your mind so twisted that you inflicting torture on someone is equilevant to making a kid eat their vegetables. How about before you start wishing shit on us, or even coming to an atheist forum, how about talking to the other 40000 kinds of Christian so you guys can get your story straight, because even you guys on this forum can't agree with each other.

Don't forget cancer, I was willing to prayer for cancer too. In short I was willing to pray for what ever it took to win individual souls over, whether it be a winning lottery ticket or aids/cancer (which btw was my route)

But you 'honest/good people' always seem to selectively forget that part

Can't remember that post, one way or the other.

What I will say is that, either way, it demonstrates the power of prayer absolutely - no power at all.

If I understand what you're saying ( if God told me that murder wasn't a sin would I murder, is this the question)? You see when I answered your question before I said I knew God's mind to a point because He had revealed things to me. He revealed He wasn't a liar, nor could He be. God as already stated in the Bible that murder was a sin, for God to say to me murder wasn't a sin would then be a lie. God doesn't lie so He wouldn't tell me murder wasn't a sin, now the old devil might try that trick, however I would know better because Jesus said that those who are His would recognize His voice.

You do know that changing your mind and lying are two completely different things, right?

Yes you do. Gawd can never be more than a hypothetical without evidence of which you have precisely none.

I am sure Drich was joking.

Not in my taste, mind you, but not all that different from the jokes some people here make about Christians, either.

Don't be so sure. He's wished and prayed for truly vile things to happen to members here before.

This shows death in obedience to God or homelessness in obedience to God is better then living in disobedience, and the fact that obeying God trumps everything.

Might makes right and blind obedience as a virtue. Your beliefs are truly sickening.

What if I told you that the sentiment "I would be okay with, and will in fact entreat, my god to beat the crap out of you, in order to make you agree with me," is vicious and terrible no matter how much doublespeak you inject into it first?

Can I make a suggestion?

I'm not saying that I agree with praying for someone to get cancer in any scenario. I think doing so is wrong, even if it ends up being for the greater good.

Now I'm going to repeat those lines because I'm sure someone will accuse me of it anyway:

With that being said, if you are truly trying to understand where Drich is coming from, you have to look at it through his lenses. What's worse... battling cancer for a limited amount of time, or eternity in torment? He believes that people who do not believe in God go to Hell (a sentiment I also don't share, mind you).

Drich also said it took him getting cancer to find God.

So, since he believes the worst possible thing that can happen to someone is to be in eternal torment, and since he believes that not believing in God will get you there, and since he personally didn't find God until he got cancer, can you at least understand where he is coming from when he says that he would rather someone go through absolutely anything, regardless of how bad it is, if it would mean avoiding the worst thing of all?
