Because "god's will" is decided by the person wielding the weapon in question and most often, when the violent "hand of god" has completed the atrocity, you'll hear the words, "blessed be the name of the Lord."

That would be true if as you believe there was no God.


That is not a legitimate response as it does not have any frame of reference to what I said. I said your statement makes me nauseous ... whether or not I believe in god has no bearing on whether or not that statement is true or not. It's a statement of how I and 20 million other non-believers feel.


Quote:However "God's will" is clearly printed in our bibles. If we were to smash babies or planes into buildings then I would not be here talking to you.

Nope. The will of men professed as god's will is in your bible ... and the religious nuts DO smash babies, stone women and crash planes into buildings.


Quote:That said, it is the will of God that has me seek and save those who I can, that I answer questions and turn the other cheek (for the most part) when you guys go off reservation, it is also God's will that I forgive as I have been forgiven which is why I took the time to write out the second half of my illustration, and why I do not gloat when I can. God's will is very clearly spelled out in the bible, for any and all who seek it. a perversion of that will in the name of God is not only the fault of the one who speaks it, it is the fault of the one who blindly follows.

I agree blind devotion is freightening, but it is the will of God that every man be held accountable to his actions.

Standard rhetoric. The point is, you will do the will of god no matter what atrocity is required and THAT is what is nauseating and terrifying.
