I've never tried to speak to something that doesn't exist. I've received much from God and one thing He has made clear is there are no other gods, those who suppose there are are talking to wood and stone, silly people.

I'm not denying that God exists to you. I'm not denying that you've received much from him. What I am denying is that he exists outside your imagination or that you received anything other than your own thoughts based on your own conception of an imaginary entity. When you 'received much from God' you were receiving much crap from your own brain.

Jehanne gives you kudos for not answering what about the age of the Protestant Church and Jesus never hurt anyone and was well within His right to chase those off who were defiling the temple, the House of God. You see that temple was His also.

Can I get you to take a shot at reconciling "Chasing people with a whip Jesus" with "Meek Jesus" ?? Someone chasing me with a whip I'm unlikely to ever refer to as 'meek', but I would entertain some thoughts on squaring up the confusion here, which, unfortunately so far, seems to be in Jesus's head, not mine.
Matthew 11 (KJV)
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
If Jesus was chasing you with a whip for perhaps an ill directed donation of yours to a fraudulent ministry, would the word 'meek' spring unbidden in your mind during the chase ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

My daughter, a Lesbian wants to know:
If God is going to send her to hell for having a sexual relationship with her wife... then why shouldn't she kill every Christian she meets? Why shouldn't she steal from every church? Why shouldn't she blow up churches? Because by their logic, she should. After all, she's going to hell. Shouldn't she at least do something to get in Satan's Good graces, instead of being a good person on earth? If god's going to punish her for being a lesbian, she probably should just go out and do as much evil as possible so at least she'll feel she deserves it.
By our logic, she should confess, repent, and go to heaven.

Well, these days, we'd acknowledge Trump's (Praise Trump!) fondness for girl on girl action, and ease up on the repentance part and start looking at a new sacrament for the faithful.

You could repent and go to heaven for eternity too. God would still welcome you with open arms.

Yes, I'm a grown-up. I'm highly intelligent and fairly successful at life. And, I believe in the God of the Bible.
Other highly intelligent grown-ups have believed in other gods, or been atheists.
Point is that it's not wise to just blithely dismiss the possibility of god and an afterlife. Particularly if, as with the Christian god, a life of sin can be undone and the punishment foregone.

Any moral god would punish you for affirming christian ideology. You can always renounce it, ofc, and redeem yourself.

Didn't take long for you to contradict yourself.
