So then you think our society is sick also for throwing people in jail for life?
Never mind what GOD claims to be, love, those who dont believe in him figure they can love regardless of god...so why dont they shut down all of the jails and let people just get on with it?
How so?
Do you think murderers and pedophiles and rapists and the like enjoy not being able to do it in prison? Of course they dont, that is why many of them get up to many sick things even in prison. They NEED to do what they desire the most.
I disagree, when you put a pedophile in jail, he is tortured everyday for not being able to put his hands on a little boy or watch someone else do it. You have taken away his power to do what he desires most. That sounds like torture.

I find all of this a little ironic.
Why is it, that people who are OK, with life sentences for crimes committed in this world, does not approve of a god who will do the same to those who have committed crimes against god. Why dont we just all forgive the folk for their sins, and let them go...
Hi there here is a thread about the same topic if it will interest you.

My understanding is that god hides himself from some in the context of a relationship. But I aslo believe that god wants to make a...
The desire does not justify the need nor does it justify the man. It does however give a very true indication of what kind of man he is.
If you want to know the character of a man, simply determine what he desires most.
We usually want to act out of desire not out of oughts and shoulds. If...
Famous = a well known name. The motive for wanting to have a well known name is to distinguish himself from other so called gods. It would be an aweful shame if the god of the universe remains unknown dont ya think?
God wants a well known name i think that is quite clear from scripture. If...
Because the shuttle is 'sling shot' around the earth. It is both falling towards the earth , and moving around the earth. It is pulled by gravity to the centre of the earth, and it is moving around the earth due to the forward velocity it gives itself when it orbit. You can go much faster in...
Yeh, im sure man can make god into a cartoon, i guess satan knows that god wants to make a name for himself so no wonder he is working to make His name paw paw. But that is why he will come back and set the record straight. LOL....:D
Have a great day William!
God bless
Hi ya! Well, lest see...today i need to go to the library to take back my books, buy milk and bread, go to the gym (if i want a little torture), and talk on here for a while. What about you? Is your life any more exciting? :D
Well that is why god wants to be famous - have a well known name- to distinguish himself from other 'gods'.
All through the OT the entire group of gentiles had their own flavour of god. Take for example the egyptians, and when god delivered the isrealites from egypt thats precisely what he...
Hi there Jtartar. Thanks for your reply.
What do you think the bible means when it says 'the LAST enemy to be destroyed is death'. Do you think that could apply to the second death of the lake of fire or not?
Yeh, my feeling is also that he wont alow it to go on forever so he is determined...
Feeding a god? What kind of god needs ego stroking. Gods dont need to feel better about themselves do they? Or to help them realise they are great. Worshipping a god can not be stroking or feeding their ego.
Any god that needs worship in order to become better or greater is worse than the...
God already has a name, a well know name is what he is after.
I think he has pretty much succeeded in that regard wont you say? How many people on this earth do you think does not know about the christian god?
Man are instrinsically self-centred. They would not want to make a well known...
Yeh i agree it is a jungle out there. Any well to do searcher will find himself with a machette trying to wade through all of it and finding only more jungle. I dont know about other religions but in my case god has found me. Whereas in other religions they 'find' their god. He does not just sit...
Im not sure i understand completely but if i follow then it would be my opinion that to destroy the power of man to do evil, will not destroy their will. They could still will to do evil, but they will not be free to act upon it. So that they will not continue to do evil works. But they can...
