Why? If he’s omnipotent, he didn’t need to go through all that drama. Just make a pronouncement, via prophets, as he always did. Nobody needed to die. God is an ineffectual and very silly character in a really badly-written book.
He’s a mean drunk.
I have seen Jesus and heard the voice of God and I am here to bear witness to and give testimony of Them.
If you really knew God and His Son, you would not be speaking ill of them.
I’ll take that as a no.
I grew up a member of the Catholic church. Confirmation, Confession, Communion, Ash Wednesday, Holy days of obligation - the works.
We do know them. That’s why we speak ill.
Pshaw. That’s nothing. How about the first “GPS” navigator? You’re not proving anything here with your posts in this thread.
Well, you are, but it’s not what you seem to believe you’re proving. What you’re actually proving is what you really think of Roman Catholic theology and practice.
You speak of Him as if you do not believe that He even hears you?
How exactly is it that you can claim proper knowledge? I was raised very christian, I got to know them extremely well. When I was 9, I prayed to God for wisdom like Solomon. He replied, “Very well, become an Apatheist.”
The Hindu gods apparently had nukes. I wonder if Brahma and Yahweh had some kind of MAD thing going on?
Like Fear Itself up there I too have blasphemed the Holy Spirit - “Worthless, goat-felching mother-fucker” I believe was at least part of the tirade at the time.
God (the all pissy) keeps bouncing my emails back now.
You look down at the one who has given you and your children life? You speak ill of the one who feeds you? And you speak out against the one who died for you? You do not know them.
Conan’s speech was better:
I’ve seen his works. All the worst of them.
All the evil done in His name.
All the children starved, made ill, born crippled.
All the amputees and burn victims never made whole despite His promise.
All the discrimination and hatred done by His followers.
“I curse the name of the vile shadow known as Yahweh, I curse his concubine Mary the Whore, I curse her vain bastard son Jesus, and I curse the impotent and vulgar Holy Spirit, which has no power in this world or the next.”
That’ll do it all right.
I’m surprised you weren’t on the receiving end of a thunderbolt or a giant hand.
Just for the record I said the same out loud just now. Nothing. Cell phone lost signal for a few seconds but that seems a pretty weak retaliation.
If he (God) doesn’t keep you healthy and happy, if he doesn’t feed you or pay your bills, or keep bad things from happening to you, then what good is he? How would you be worse off without him? Does he just want my obedience under the threat of death or hell? No thanks.
Maybe not, but you aren’t either.
