"God will even the score"

[Minimalist]

Evidence for any fucking Samson?


Didn't think so.

[Anomalocaris]

Nothing in the quote seemed particularly objectionable to me.

Not surprising from one who made himself as debased and objectionable as the quote.

Thank God god doesn't agree with these bigoted retards by intervening at their behest. WTF, chuck?

Pathetic.

Samson prayed for his strength to be returned, and well... down came the temple of a god, so you can never be sure how God might react.

Did someone tell you both Samson and your god are just some goat fucking desert tribe's self serving and self justifying made up bullshit?

Yes?

Than you are an event bigger idiots than I thought for not listening to them.

[Faith No More]

This is just the adult Christian version of that old maneuver of yelling "I'm going to tell my dad on you" when you felt you'd been wronged by another kid on the playground.

I'm sure the Klu Klux Klan was saying the same thing about letting black people drink out of the same drinking fountains.

You say you can't be sure how god will react, but that's not what the dumbass who voiced the quote says. She just knows god's mind, and he will get his revenge. That she's butthurt over her political agenda not being furthered has nothing to do with it...right?

Samson? Really?

[pocaracas]

My problem with this begins when these people decide to take upon themselves to accomplish what they think god should do...

[Cyberman]

Samson prayed for his strength to be returned, and well... down came the temple of a god,

Samson lost his hair, but learned that his susperstrength was inside him all along.

Dumbo lost his magic feather, but learned that his ability to fly was inside him all along.

When you can tell me the difference beween the two, then we can talk of gods.

so you can never be sure how God might react.

What if some nutjob takes the words of this talk show host as a call to make an attempt on the President's life or that of his family? Would you then say this is how "God" reacts?

[Cyberman]

My problem with this begins when these people decide to take upon themselves to accomplish what they think god should do...

Absolutely. Were this "God" even to exist it would be the least powerful entity in the Universe; it depends on the most unreliable and often unstable humans to speak and act for it.

"I would not want to be in the shoes of any of the left right now. I would not want to be in Barack Obama’s shoes. I would not want to be in the shoes of homosexual activists. I say that with humility and with fear

Yes, when I read a statement like that, or see someone making such a statement, the first thing I think is "wow, that person just RADIATES fear and humility." That sounds a lot like those people who tell you that you're a filthy sinner and will burn forever like you deserve, but that they are telling you this because they love you.

It is just their bigotry disguised under the cloak of Christian love, but they are not rational enough to view it that way.

[Tonus]

I think it's a qualifier that masks an inner conflict. When you learn about god from a believer, it is usually a very positive and good deity that is described. God is the ultimate good, he is pure and clean and just in every way you can imagine, he really cannot do any wrong. Then you read or hear of him doing something terrible, or threatening to do so, and you must pass on this information or warning. What do you do? You play the part of the good guy. "Look, I hate to be the one to tell you this, because I really like you and want what is best for you. But if you don't straighten up and pay Don Jehovah what he demands, we're going to have to break your arms. Repeatedly. For all of eternity. And I just don't want to have to do that, but what Don Jehovah wants... Don Jehovah GETS. Capiche?"
