If Not Hell then what?

[Drich]

LMAO! Drich...Don't you see? The problems created here stem from YOU. You could be blindly defending a God that actually exists, but your inability to form comprehensible justification for it actually weakens it's case. You do not make any sense. The stupid book you desperately defend fails you at every corner. You make wild and ridiculous claims to understand a book that many dedicate their lives to interpreting, and yet, with unrelenting arrogance, continue to use your distinct interpretation, of this bullshit in text, to make an incoherent case for a God that seems more and more unlikely as you move your fingers accross the keys to type its defense! It's you we reject, its your interpretation of this farfetched malevolent being that you try so hard to depict as a loving creator.

I have said a least a dozen or more times in this thread alone God is not all loving. So why would you foolishly assume that I am trying to portray a "loving creator?" God is "loving" to those who belong to Him, and the rest can quite literally goto Hell. This is mirrored all through out the old and new testaments. The contrast you see between how I am representing God and scripture, should be a big giant red flag that shows you how far out of touch and how little you actually know of the bible and of the God the bible represents.
do you truly not understand that it is your understanding of God is what is dead? truthfully You have absolutly no clue as to the God of the bible or of Christianity outside of what appears to be a middle school comprehension based in Sunday school and old wives tales. Yet somehow you believe your Sunday school education has prepared you to write the following paragraph. It is like you really do not understand that the discrepancy between the bible and God I represent and the way you think christianity and god actual work, shows an intellectual deficit in your basic understandings of God and biblically based christianity.

-or- are you so foolish to really think after 20 years as Christian, a teacher, a missionary, leader, a student and most importantly a A/S/K'er that I do not know enough about God to properly represent Him or the bible, against all you have done prepare for this argument? yeah. You guys are so predictable, it like you were all taught to think and say the same things, or did you think you were the first on atheist forums to hit the wall and try a sweeping dismissal based on what you learn in Sunday school?

We reject your theories, your interpretations, and your avoidance to logic and reason as a means to justify your insanity. It's utter nonsense, and it is the focus of our entertainment to watch you continue to embarrass yourself. Your God is dead, and to say dead, is to pay homage to a ficticious character that has never warranted so much as a pronoun much less credit for all existance or my ability to type this ever so true message to you. It is dead because the lie has not outlived knowledge. Human understanding has overcome the dogmatic rhetoric that has consumed the ones that passed this contagious ignorance on to you. You have not given a single legitimate argument to defend your claims and that would be just fine, so long as you didn't persist that it was a reasonable one. The minute you give claim to having a rational claim, and go on to include your deity in it, you begin to dig the trench that is our entertainment. Take your bible, light it on fire, and give it to a homeless man to keep him warm. That is the closest thing to a benevolent act that could possibly be achieved by the God described in it. By the way...I like your sun flower.

Thanks mrs drich planted them in a dark time for us. The sunflower is a constant reminder that no matter how dark things may seem there is a path out. All any of us have to do to find it is to A/S/K.

Oh, and one more thing one more time. The God of the bible is not Omni benevolent like you think I think he is. If you think God is Omni benevolent then all you have to do is provide book chapter and verse. Seeing as you will not be able to do this then we must take things like smashing babies against rocks the orders to kill old people and women and even His ability to judge and send people to hell as a great big billboard that says GOD IS NOT ALL LOVING like your Sunday school teacher told you He was.

One last time God's love is conditional John 3:16 God so love the world THAT WHO SO EVER... (That my friend is a condition, which makes God's love very conditional, and not all loving.) which means if I am to represent the God of the bible then I have to represent the wrath and the love he has for His people, not offer His love to those He Himself has not offered it to.

Absolutly! IF my wife was raped and murdered by a soldier of a foreign god ...

What would you do if your wife was raped and murdered by a soldier of YOUR god?

"The Lord Giveth, and The Lord taketh away, Blessed be the Name of the Lord."

I and my wife both Love God more than each other, our kids, our possessions and even our own lives. Whatever God wants He is free to take. (Not that He needs my or anyone elses permission)
