How do christens justify child molestation?

Studies have shown that when you write in all caps it is more true.

What amuses me more is that it's in Comic Sans.

What's wrong with writing in caps when the intent in so doing is non-malicious?  The intent here is to show reverence to/respect for the GOD that ought to be feared, the Almighty.

It is just one of those annoying things Christians do to underscore their beliefs. Whatever the intent, to me, the effect is to prompt an eyeroll. It is just douchy as fuck! Like writing in comic sans; also a douchy move.

Yeah, I mentioned that in a follow up reply. Easily the most hated font on the planet that was specifically designed to denote a less than serious tone. Sheesh!

I don't mean to be unkind really; I was imagining that you might join in on the joke, but I guess it makes sense to not, because it was made at your expense.

I'm much better at taking care of other people's feeling in person. But really, you should know these things or at least take note of my very direct statements. They are honest, at least.

The caps thing reminds me of my father-in-law who signs his card with some form or JESUS this or GOD blah blah blah, even though my wife has specifically told him that we are not believers. We don't bug him too much about it as we get it, he just can't understand why a person wouldn't believe in the OBVIOUS truth /sarcasm.

These matters are serious... matters of life and death. So, one may be amused now, at whatever... but I assure you, 'tis no joke! I have told you.

That sounds an awful lot like preaching you know.

We don't take kindly to preaching in these parts.

Have you actually seen this god yourself?

I have seen many things, and by His mercies, remain here to tell 'em.  Facts - GOD manifests Himself in many irrefutable ways, subjectively and objectively - but know that he is the "King eternal, immortal, invisible" GOD and "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen..."

GOD declares Himself Spirit, and those who worship Him do so in spirit and truth, and without faith it is impossible to please him because one coming to GOD in prayer must do so believe that He is and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (sources, should you care to search - John 4:24, Hebrews 11:6)

I can't help but recall the response the Lord JESUS, the CHRIST had when one of His Apostles (Thomas) didn't believe that He had risen from the grave and had met with the other Apostles eight days prior - despite being told repeatedly all that would happen. On finally seeing JESUS in the flesh, and being asked to examine and reach into the wounds in His hands and side from His crucifixion, Thomas said "My Lord and my God" - to which JESUS responded, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” - John 20:29

What more could I say? Evidences exist, but faith is imperative! 

Is that a yes or a no?

If god loves us so much, why didn't he make us better? We live about 80 years, and are beset with all sorts of illnesses. Tortoises, on the other hand, live at least twice that long AND come with built-in armour plating. Tortoises have got it sweet.

And don't tell me it's to do with original sin, that's bollocks. Tortoises can be pretty sinful.
