who suffered? are zoo monkeys complaining because they were higher up on the social ladder but God took them down too many notches?
who is in pain who claims to have lost any one?
or do you mean the whole sale destruction of the literally soulless monsters who preyed on humanity? or are you too foolish to understand that the world was steeped in a wickness it has nor it will ever see again.. do you not understand that the level of evil moses lived in every day was far worse than any worst day in a war or concentration camp or even evil that has ever happened since then? don't glance past this. God said that the level of evil was soo high, nothing created man could do would ever equal what souless men and titans were doing... You friggen moron that is who you morn, the monsters or demi gods that are no longer here enslaving or eating us is who your greive. well f-you and I say f-them and whom ever else who will not thank God for putting us on top of the food chain and incharge of this world. My prayer for you is that you live under those in whom you morn for. you want to know real oppression you want to be consumed by the angel hybrids then so be it.
I n the other hand would rather an all knowing God take them out before they became a problem for me.
Quote:...again what you seem to fail to understand is Christianity is freedom from all law.
Quote:Not interested in "freedom from all law." Law provides structure and generally levels the playing field, safety-wise.what level playing field do aborted children play on? what level playing field is there for someone who does not want to bake a cake for a gay wedding? how is it fair that anyone be made to use their talent to support something they do not believe in? what happens when the level playing field has 12 year olds prepped for sexual partners? will society seek to protect your 'safety' when you refuse to let some 30 year old douche pick up your little girl or grandaughter for a quick tinder date? can't pretend this is not already a thing.. as it is, just not here. in europe the age is 14 in africa the age can be young as 11.. it won't be long as much as we sexualize high schoolers in our fav movies and tv. the desensitization is already happening
Man's morality will not allow you to be above it, meaning you will never be in a position to contest it. as it is an ever downward spiraling pit of loosening morality
Freedom from this law freedom from God's law allows you to say no it is not ok to pick up my little girl for a date and then clock the pedophile. freedom from the law allows you to classify the bloody nosed monster in your door way as a pedophile and enables you to 'give him another if he does not leave.
As just because you are not bound to the law of God does not mean your thirst for true righteousness will ever go away. It simply means you are no longer judged by your actions as a means to righteousness before God.

Your imaginary friend is at liberty to show up in person at any time to set me right. Your advocacy on its behalf is superfluous, mortal.

if he did would you be able to recognise Him? or would you be looking for the god or idea of god that has already failed you? if your not looking or don't know what to look for how do you know "god" has not already shown up? Do you think He has to show up in a burning bush? or it showing up on a atheist forum to impossible for an all powerful God (with servants)
