What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory?" Rom 9:22-23
This is how that verse translates doesn't it...
Your god wanted to show the human race how brutal he could be by creating people that were never to be given a chance at heaven but rather were created with the sole intention of being condemned to eternal punishment (prepared for destruction). Furthermore, the only reason for doing this was simply to show in comparison how fantastic his paradise is for the select few he chose to join him in eternal glory.
That verse has got to be one of the most damning pieces of scripture ever written about the complete lack of integrity, justice and general decency your sadistic god has to offer his own creation. How can you possibly worship such a twisted mother fucker???
Billions upon billions of souls tortured for eternity so your god can make some ridiculous worthless point. You people have limitless, unbounded, incomprehensible stupidity.
