God's math

God will not let the Earth be destroyed, yet He will sterilize it with fire. The Earth and Heaven then shall become one

Just messing with the enemy to see how they will react?

So the goal is to get better at the game, then? So we’re doing you a favour by responding? You should be grateful.

What the fuck is the point of saving it just to burn it to a crisp?

That’s not it at all, but ya know the internet loser that chimes in on others thread with the ole grammar spiel, seen it a thousand times. Speaking of, why you still here?:smack:

To rid it of pedophiles and atheists, duh:smack:

And you complain that science has nothing good to offer? “Burn the world” is your idea of a selling point for your religion?

Boy, if Heaven is going to be filled with condescending, obnoxious jerks like Treat, then Hell sounds far superior.

Treat, you’re an arrogant, unkind, and unpleasant person, based on what you’ve posted. If you actually want to change anyone’s mind, you might try humility and kindness, rather than the extreme arrogance of one who claims to know who is going to suffer for all eternity.

And you equate the two because?

Funny, from the perspective of a lifeform on Earth, there doesn’t seem to be much practical distinction between being destroyed and being sterilized with fire.

Anyway, if Revelation is right and the post-sterilization period lasts a thousand years, that’s a very very tiny fraction of the generally-accepted age of the universe. And then what? I’m sure a thousand years seemed really really awesomely impressive to bronze-age writers, but we have a somewhat broader perspective these days. Heck, with the advances in medicine I can plausibly expect to see in the next few decades, I might personally live (in some form or other) longer than a thousand years.

I am grateful, the whole reverse psychology thing is working on you, isn’t it?:smack:

That’s like the police saying “We got your car back from the thieves but we had to crush it and bury it in a landfill to get rid of the cigarette smoke smell. You’re welcome.”

After the thousand years the Earth and Heaven become one, Bryan.

Well, “criticize” does not only mean “denigrate”. It can mean “analyze, study, judge the merits of”. If something cannot stand critical analysis, I personally figure it must be so delicate as to be useless.

So Heaven becomes a burnt out wasteland too?

Or, “We had to destroy the village in order to save it.” But at least there won’t be any atheists left.

Which means what, exactly?

Well if the storied continued with:we dug it back up and, excuse me for lack of a better term, we ‘pimped your ride’, then ya that would be somewhat of a similar analogy.

My work stands up just fine, besides there’s only one opinion that really matters. You should attempt your own ‘critical analysis’ and that’s when you break free.

Then why burn it in the first place just to have to fix it again. Surely God could just blink away everyone he doesn’t like without the collateral damage. Your version of God doesn’t seem to be very smart.
