It depends on whether or not something new is added to what has already been said or not. I don't really mind to be honest.

If they did that they'd have to repent otherwise otherwise they might just go into a depression of 'losing faith' OH DEAR(!)

Not that it would be a good reason to stop believing of course, whether God is evil or not or you hate him or not has absolutely fuck-all to do with the probability of his existence.

So how do you blame God if you don't believe in him Huh Ever heard of Job?

I'm speaking of Christians...believers....they blame God...and then possibly 'lose faith' unless they 'repent' lol......so I don't know what you're on about.

Job was a biblical character who suffered just about as much as it's possible to. Blaming God is exactly necessary IMO, otherwise you're not human. If you don't do that then you ain't takin it seriously and you maybe don't care.

So blaming God is exactly very Christian. I was also reading you as saying blaming God was therefore something only a non Christian could do. Bygones! Wink

?!?!?!?

Obviously you can't blame God if you don't believe in him.

Ok so blaming God is a Christian thing then? It's what Chirst wants?

Are you sure it's not just a common 'sin'? lol :p

Not a sin no. Christ want's your total devotion. If you don't care that doesn't sound like devotion does it?
