Quote: This, for me, is the single sickest claim in all of christian experience. If there were a god, and this were true...I could not worship that god..and I would be completely committed to subverting everything that it willed or wanted to the very last ounce of all breath in my body. I feel very, very strongly about this.Maybe this is why God requires such a steep price for sin. So that 'we' can have a very good understanding of what type of deity he is. If he has indeed given a will apart from his own then someone somewhere will not agree or like Him or what He does.
Again maybe things like the need for a blood sacerfice (and the fact that He provided it for you on your behalf) are to help seperate the sheep from the goats. Not everyone wants to be with God, and if you can figure out that you do not want, or if you feel that their should not be a need for this sort of thing then turn towards eternity in full confidence that God will not Make you serve Him. that He will keep you seperated from him and everything you believe to be unjust about Him.
