Grandizer, did you ever stop to think that God might be too busy curing disease in Africa creating sinkholes in countries that legalize gay marriage to be bothered with your pointless debates?

He doesn't have to, he's god after all. 

Puny human!

Yeah I think this every time I think of: all the children that have been raped by pastors and priests, all of the religious wars where the god they were fighting over never even offered an opinion while thousands of people slaughtered each other in his name, the Holocaust (some anti-Semites claim that god was punishing the Jews for not accepting Jesus), the way my ancestors embraced slavery because the Bible and preachers said it was god's will, the refusal to give women in labor anesthesia because labor pain was god's punishment for original sin, (ok, I could keep going but you get my drift).  

Humans have done such evil in the name of god, and justify it with a book of silly myths.

Maybe "god" has been talking..the entire time.  It's just that he sounds suspiciously like your common asshole neighbor? Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No, I didn't. I feel so ashamed now. Sorry God!

Tens of thousands of Christian denominations, sects, schisms divisions and churches, it's as though God never shuts up in fomenting troubles in His own realm.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
