Coming to God is a process and we're all in different stages of that process.

All in all Lek... god is a asshole

That was an insult and a crappy answer, Dyresand.

Read the bible and you can't tell me he isn't. Because he got mad at the only 2 living human beings at the time who would follow any ones vocal commands. God left the tree there and got mad at them when they listened to a talking snake. Pretty much he is get the fuck ill do terrible things to the future generations of humanity that's all your guys fault. I mean why i mean just why...? god could have just let them stay he didn't have angry he could just said oh you ate the fruit i won't be a total asshole and yell at you or anything. I mean an all knowing god would have forgiven them they did not know consequences to what they were doing. I mean hell i would make a decent god i wouldn't a fucking asshole would care about my creations and i would be like oh you guys having issues with nature and sickness BAM all ya'll are fine now continue with your lives.

Because I am reading the thread backwards as I search for the last post that I read, I can't speak to whether Dyr's answer was good or not but he didn't insult you, Lek.

RE: Indoctrination & Mental Gymnastics
Or, Lek has subconsciously grasped something that his waking mind is not yet ready to process - and you are insulting him. You insult god, and he feels that insult - it registers. Gee, wonder why that might be?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

But Lek clearly isn't god though. So why should be feeling anything?

RE: Indoctrination & Mental Gymnastics
You are saying all religions are just as valid Lek? It makes no difference which you pick? They are all true? You go to heaven as long as you pick a religion but not otherwise?

No. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that if one seeks God with a true heart, and responds to the light God provides him, he will find him. All who are saved are saved through Jesus Christ. I could know I'm a sinner in need of God's forgiveness, and never have heard the name Jesus, but still believe in Jesus in essence.
