Questions for your Religious friends.

[johndoe122931]

Constantly mocking our God and telling us horrible things about a Being that we truly believe in for example Richard Dawkins famous quote 
 
 “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”


You see that doesn't go over so well with us. We find that very hurtful. Now that is what I know from speaking with fellow brothers and sisters.

So instead of looking at the facts, you proclaim to be offended and that is the end of the discussion. Because Dawkins is right, God literally calls himself Lord Jealous, he does many genocides, he orders gays to be murdered, etc.

Is your solution to turn the blind eye to the terrible things God does in the Bible?

The fact is atheists are extremely disrespectful towards our God. Simple as that. You can disagree with what I said and that's fine. 

Well, I don't agree with Dawkins and I have that right. I am allowed to be offended by what he says. I will never try to stop him from saying those things that is his right as a person. 

I am not turning a blind eye to anything. I'm not sure what you want me to say. I just answered the question as honestly as I could. If you don't like my answer then that is fine by me, you don't have to. But we can still be friends.

Three questions I’ve actually asked religious friends recently:

‘Weather permitting, we’re cooking out this weekend. Can you and Susan make it?’

‘Why on earth would you build a loom?!’

‘That’s nice - was it expensive?’

I don’t ask my friends about their beliefs.

LOL, I love it!
