Bill Maher. /thread.
Yeah, I was about to say, he's the most egregious example.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
And this exactly is their problem. They will believe almost anything without ever trying to move their lazy ass and research on the truth behind those claims.

Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died .
The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it"
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic .
John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ),
while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you."
He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.
Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.
He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
"I don't need your Jesus".
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment .
Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
"My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full "
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,
the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken .
Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle .

Thankfully God does not strike down those who mock him. Because all of us do at some point or another. To point to another and expect God to get'em does not leave room for our short comings. If God were to get everyone who mocked Him their wouldn't be anyone left.

If he were able to "get" just a single one it would be a great case for his existence.

So what about the children he sent the bears to maul to death?
If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Or the man who reached out to stabilize the ark when it was about to fall and after he saved it he fell down and died, or for that matter anyone who has felt the wrath of God in the OT? Why aren't their examples of God pouring out His wrath on the people who lived in or after the time of Christ, except in the book of revelations?
The answer here is atonement. Same God same wrath, but because of those who accept that atonementnt offered by Christ "The weeds are allowed to grow along side the wheat until the harvest and their they will be separated."

He's kind of a cosmic cunt isn't he?
Speaking in the theologic context I get the feeling that if there were other deities out there happily creating their own realities, they'd want nothing to do with the Biblical God. They all agree he's an unlikeable sociopath, to them, and his own defenceless creation.
God's no different from that bastard father who torments his children. They know there are other fathers out there who are far better and kinder than him, but they were unlucky enough to become the offspring of an abusive one.
