The idea of gods kingdom coming is very specifically about that lovely future day - not the belief that god isn't the god of the earth. The earth is just as much his as anything else that exists, including satan.
that's a great sentiment if you only look at the first line God kingdom come. but when you pair it with the second verse God's will be don on earth as it is in heven then your exegesis of the singular passage no longer fit the theme of the prayer. as in the one prayer we are taught to pray we are to want and ask for God kingdom to come fourth/to live under God which is emphasized by the second verse God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. if these things were happening on the level that Jesus taught then why are we been instructed to ask for these things? look at the evil (popular morality verse God's laws being obeyed) of this world it represents the majority and always has represented how people act.

unless the story has more than one part.
Quote: It's a jewish story, not a story about your silly god.
if there was no Christ.. i'd say you were right. Christ himself is afront to the idea that the jewish narritive is complete.
Quote:As a matter of further lulz...why do you think that a christian hell is different than a roman one?
roman hell is in the after life where a god torments the evil souls of men. the bible version of Hell there is no God and satan himself is slated to burn forever in torment.
Quote: Elysium, heaven, is where heroes and warriors went.
and the rich..
Quote: Tartarus, hell..the place where the wicked are punished.
the wicked in the bible are sent to hell to be consumed/die their second death. only satan burn forever.
Quote: Who's this most of us and what exactly do you think that you know about roman or greek mythology?
people who think as you do who have simplied heaven as a reward and hell as eternal punishment ruled by an ultimate tormentor. Heaven is service to God in an effort to become family much like how a slave would join a wealth family to later be considered a son. hell is torment for Satan and destruction for everyone else.
Quote:Willing to bet that it's a bunch of self serving evangelical loon shit.
the only self serving loon site will be found in the hearts of those who elect hell over service to God in heaven.
