This is the guy that started praying for a bunch of us to catch aids.
Don't forget cancer, I was willing to prayer for cancer too. In short I was willing to pray for what ever it took to win individual souls over, whether it be a winning lottery ticket or aids/cancer (which btw was my route)
But you 'honest/good people' always seem to selectively forget that part

Yeah, what you said was definitely taken out of context, as I assumed it was.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Let me fix it:
...If everything in the bible is to be taken literally. 
In which case I'd also believe that eating pork was a sin, clothes made out of wool were immodest, earth is just a few thousand years old, and the universe was created in 7 days. What is not literal about God ordering Moses to build an ark because he was gonna drown everything?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Well at least I never forgot that part. I just think that given what you said that the context of why you said doesn't actually matter. You wished harm upon us and I really don't give a fuck about your excuse as to why.

Not in that specific order tho that'd be just sick
And if Jesus tells you to do it in that order?

Well,then he'd be a sick bastard.I'd say Fuck off and go eat some oreos.
Because the only things i do claiming that those are the things God would want me to do are the things i am comfortable with doing without a stimuli such as God in the first place.
If i don't like killing and then raping,i wouldn't do it,even if God asked me to.But the point is when i say "if God asked me to" what i really mean is "if i asked myself to" which i know i won't so i shan't.
Source: I was a devoted Christian so i know.
Edit:
oh fuck,did i just imply that i am comfortable with raping and killing people? :o
I wouldn't,just to be clear.

Perhaps the story was meant to represent cleansing and new beginnings, rather than to say that God actually talked to a man named Noah, and actually told him to build an ark that holds a pair of every single living species of animal on the planet lol. Some people say it was a metaphor for baptism.

I offered to pray what ever it took to find God, for anyone who wanted me to. (Again, this could mean a winning lottery ticket or cancer/aids) This is nothing different than what I prayed for myself and I found God.
You spun that offer for a reason not to have to think about unleashing your hate. Your words tell me that your just looking for a reason to feel justified in your bigotry. You are looking for a key word to turn your logic and reason off, and you found one. Your not giving a f*ck why proves this.
Your words makes you the monster. To wish only "good things" on someone even if it means their long term ruin is beyond contemptible. Would you only allow your kids to eat the cake and candy they want to eat all day every day? Or would you provide them with a balanced diet even if they hated healthy food, and only want to eat what tastes good?

Yeah, I guess I don't understand. 
I would do whatever God told me to do. Why? Because I do not worship a specific ideology/version of morality. I worship God. Example: if religion tells you to do xyz, and let's say God says do ABC, I will always do ABC.
The only bit I was joking about is targeting the members of this board. There are plenty of atheists and that live around me to take out first.
But again, God has told us to love Him first and then each other as ourselves. So with the same zeal and effort I follow that command. Not because it is intrinsically the right thing to do, but because I love and serve God. It is only "right" to love God first and love each other, because God said so.
So what if God changed His mind?
It is far more likely that the culture changes its mind about us per our historical record, than God changing his mind on how we are to act.
