If God's Not An Asshole His Followers Are

RE: If God's Not An Asshole His Followers Are
Nah. I expect a god I worship to be more competent than what's been described in the Abrahamic god.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

You place your own ignorance as a standard as to what God can or cannot do.

If I can come up with a better idea for solving a problem than "kill X number of people", then I expect a higher standard of a much more powerful creature than me.

I can't read your mind. But whatever dude, your expectations mean nothing at the end of the day, when you know so little.

Is there something in your special book that says you have to be a cunt to everyone all the time?

Because quite frankly, you're not exactly falsifying the thread title here.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You aren't the judge of me nor each other nor yourself. 

That said, I will try harder not to be rude or harsh to anyone.

Elaborate?

I was referring to this sort of thing:

Quote:And so we are fighting over terminology that seems trivial but is anything but that, and it's one factor to sealing revelations when there was yet a language that was very much primitive in nature yet very beautiful and complex, before dictionaries would ruin things, before people became over simplistic with definitions, and before grammar was hard coded and followed by society, God spoke in a language that allowed him to express concepts that should never be forgotten and in ways that were appreciated in the past and should be appreciated today.

These ravings are not the product of a well mind.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Elaborate? I still don't get it.

I never claimed to be a judge, of anyone (other than myself, of whom I am the only one who can). I'm simply going on the impression that you choose to give here with your words and attitudes. However, I'm sure your efforts not to go out of your way to offend will be much appreciated.

God doesn't seem to do shit, MK.  That's one hurdle you need to get over.
