How very merciful.God elects people in order to bless others, not to exclude them or ignore them (e.g. see the call of Abraham in Genesis 12 - Abraham is chosen in order to bless the nations, and this is always the purpose of God's people).
Quote:No, I think god does not exist and therefore is not in a position to do anything.Your own beliefs have little to do with the internal critique that you were making.
Quote:But I find it interesting that you think that you are responsible for all the misery in the world, that's some guilt trip you're on there.....Exaggerating what I said is not the most convincing of responses.
