Well lets ask him. Remember ask and you shall receive. Hey God your not mad that we want to pass laws that take your name out of everything in public are you? Hey God your not mad that we have evolved enough that we alone can choose better than you as to when life starts and ends are you? Hey God your not mad that in 2006 we are talking about marrying couples that can!t procreate a new generation are you? Hey God your not mad when we only say your name when we have no where to turn like on 9/11 and then forget you are you? Hey God your not mad that we are turning this world that had everything into a sewage plant killing everything are you? Hey God your not mad that now thanks to Proposition 20 in Missouri passing human cloning will be in our future are you? I could continue but you get the message. The answer is a simple one. Vengeance is mine says the lord
I thought God was supposed to be all loving?
Well, let’s forget that, I can dig it old school OT style. I love the smell of smiting in the morning!
Really? Who is your god getting vengeance against? Cuz the people who want to pass laws that keep religion out of the gubmint are still going strong, the people who perform abortions and euthanasias are still around, gay people (as well as the elderly and barren) still want to marry, people who pay lip service to a supposedly omnipotent diety are still with us, the big companies who dump sewage everywhere are still dumping, and the scientists who invented cloning are still working on other things.
These people clearly arent the ones your god is getting vengeance against. So is your god getting vengeance on random people? Cuz that really wont get the message across. Is he getting vengeance on orphans and cripples and widows? Cuz they really dont need any more of that type of his help. Can you honestly answer that?
Until then, Ill just go ahead and assume your god doesnt exist.
Smells like …VICTORY!! 
Is that what they’re calling teen spirit these days?
johnny M: Do you claim to know the mind of God? Do you claim a special place in God’s creation? You are guilty of hubris, a deadly sin, and shall be condemned to eternal torment.
Very good argument, johhny. You’re right, no god should or would put up with this.
I guess he must not exist.
Thanks for the clarification.
That may well be, but I see no debate, here. Everyone but the OP will agree that the persistent misuse of “your” for “you’re” should be a capital offense, so there is no actual disagreement.
For better or worse, this Pitworthy, if lame, rant appears to be a bit of proselytizing and witnessing gets dumped in this Forum, so, despite the lack of a debate (or a point), this thread will stay here.

If hes pissed, hes pissed at the US, after all, we are the ones mucking in the affairs of the old holy lands. Kills a few more of our soldiers every day we are there.
Get out of my yard!!
Nope, not really. I’m all about the chicks. And I must say they are getting fine. I have to tell you - Eve was a sweetheart but she was no looker. Although boy did she know how to bite into an apple, if you know what I mean… ah, but I digress.
Carry on.
I heard that He was just upset about bad spelling and incoherent grammar.
You know, about gay marriage, IIRC correctly the arguments against this stems from the OT. But there are many things that the OT god thinks are more important than hating gay people. For instance making burned offerings, and keeping the sabbath holy. Why don’t you start doing those things before you complain?
Well, I asked Him, and he said he was busy, he’d get back to me. And he’s mad about Proposition 20 in Missouri? Jeez, what a micromanager.
Pretty much like every other boss I’ve had, really.
[God] “I giveth you the gift of the apostrophe, yet you knoweth not how to use it – get back to me after you’ve learned not to take grammar and punctuation in vain!” [/God]
Is He for or against discount bus fares for war widows?
Mooching war widows. :mad:
“And those who speak in Leet are an abomination. Ye shall stone them with stones and their blood shall be upon them. Also no talking in caps.”
Derleth I do claim to know bits and pieces of the mind of G-d. He tells me he’s fine with this whole same sex marriage thing. It makes me wonder who Johnny M is listening to.
Iiiiinteresting… what’s the Westboro Baptist Church have to say about this?
johnny M, your argument is well-reasoned, and your presentation is clear and compelling. I think you’ll fit in here.
The only worry is that you don’t seem very good at detecting sarcasm, but I don’t think that matters. We hardly see any on this message board.
Actually, Amendment 285 to the Missouri Constitution specifically bans human cloning:
From the Constitution of the State of Missouri.
That’s one pretty pathetic God who can be restricted by human laws… Besides, last I checked, “In God We Trust” was still on all money and our official national motto, not to mention that “under God” is still in the Pledge of Allegiance. News flash: pushing Christianity on non-Christians is not going to make us want to be like you.
Hey, what do you have against non-interfertile/infertile couples? Oh, I see, you’re just talking about the ones who gross you out – gay people. Don’t worry, much of the Middle East still hates homosexuals.
It was a nice try all around, though.
We should ask him. Wasn’t George Carlin god in “Dogma”?
I bet he’d have SOMETHING to say about these topics.
