Rex, what you said is (paraphrase) our results do not speak well of God.
See, the focus in that thinking is off the problem (us) rather than on the problem.

Ok. Let's start over:
If your god is perfect, and he's the same god that 2.2 billion Christians worship, how is it he failed to communicate to half of them that they're actually worshipping Satan? Wouldn't he want them to realize that? Why doesn't he make that clearer? You saying that we're the problem doesn't really help those who think they're doing it right. It seems to me that the being who wants them to do it right would help them out. (February 21, 2015 at 9:13 pm)professor Wrote: HN, how do I know? First the Word (the bible) and second - personal experience. So basically you "know" because of the book whose providence is the issue under contention, and because you feel like it. Wow, that's some stunning argumentation there.

He has the Word. Just like the catholics and orthodoxy have the word. I'm sure they feel it just as strongly as the prof ever did. Not to mention the jews and muslims.
If an adult is in charge of a child, and the child turns bad, you could blame the child. the more children the adult has, that turn bad, the more likely it is the adult's problem. The bible tells a story about a god who created a world, cursed it when someone did something he didn't like, and repeatedly failed to get his creation to a point where he liked it. Surely part of the responsibility is on the people who want to follow him, but he bears some responsibility as well. Given that his own followers have waged wars against each other over how to do as he commands, it's hard to not judge him poorly on it. At least find a way to get everyone who wants to worship you to get along well enough to be a good example for the non believers. How difficult is that?

I know enough enough poor pastors to know they're not all in it for the money. I came into this thread thinking I was going to get all my complaints against Christianity and Christians out and feel relieved. The truth is, most people are good. Most people are just going about their lives trying to be the best they can be. Sure, there are people who do terrible things, especially in the name of religions, but I think the vast majority of them truly believe they're doing what's right. You can never move on until choose to stop trying to understand them and start trying to heal and understand yourself. Good luck. Lots of hugs and love. It isn't easy to recover from religion when you've been abused and traumatized by it, but you're most certainly not alone.
Losty, that was really good. I mean it.
Rex, every group claims God. Even many of the Mafia goons are good church goers. The apostle declared we are without excuse, the creation SHOUTS the glory of God. He is not going to bow before us or grant our vanity to run wild. He said to seek Him and we will find Him. I did that. It is no lie. God set the standard above. Our miserable performance ought to be measured by His standard rather than our own. Sin is to miss the mark (like in archery), lots of people reverence God but do not know who He is. These millions of Catholics are not worshiping satan (who concocted Catholicism) they think God is pleased with their church going. WHILE ignoring what He says. Dumb. But that's what it is. The Muslims actually do worship the devil without knowing it. God knows their hearts and those who "Do unto others as they want done to them" are obeying the laws of God written on our hearts, and will make it. This goes for all those who have not heard or understood the gospel down thru history. Hell was made for the devil and those who follow him and his ways, like the terrorists. There will be far more people in Heaven than in Hell. Good night guys. RE: Christians: how do you sleep at night?

Trees are proof of God! all glory to the Godess Demeter!
The Abrahamic god knows our hearts, yet can't find a way to convince at least the majority of his followers that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Or that Mohammed is the prophet. Or that Jesus is not the true messiah. Hell is evil. Whether it was originally just for the Devil and his followers or not.

How does that help him at all. If he were completely successful in wiping the earth of all christians, how would that help him?

You might consider taking a break from posting until you learn what the real Ten Commandments are.
So many damaged and misinformed people here with regards to God and the bible. This must be therepitic for some to God bash. Fact is bible strongly suggests that God loves us. The greatest act of love is self sacrifice for someone. Jesus died for us. You cant accuse God of nothing at judgement day. God offered you eternal life and you refused. Yes there Iis ahell like there is life imprisonment for commiting murder. Reward and punishment is a part of life.
