Is God a terrorist?

Wait, what? Where in the bible does it say that you should kill every last unbeliever? Love thy neighbour? It doesn't get anymore simple than that.

I just think that you people are trying so desperately to find something bad and evil in religion that you're actually FORCING that negativeity on your views.

Explain this shit please, I'm a believer in God, yet I have never ever hit anyone, nor have I killed/stolen. I try to follow His laws as much as possible, so when someone is wicked to me I try my best to forgive them. "Love thy neighbour?" where is the hate in that sentance? So no, I am not a hating, ungrateful, racist, bigot, fanatic for believing in God. People, stop generalizing because that's exactly what religious fanatics do.

I'm a believer in god as well, though not the supreme being that most believe in. Do you believe that God has dominion over every particle of the universe? Do you believe that everything happens for a reason? As if intended by God. Therefore do you not also believe that God is evil?

That is an interesting point about how we are capable of not following gods laws, so you envision a god that is of perfect conscience and told humanity what was right and wrong and left it at that.

I don't know what your particular beliefs are so let me ask some more questions, do you believe that God is the creator, the engineer of the universe? Did God intend for us to be evil? Or is God just a judge who decides the law and who is punished or rewarded?

Interesting questions.

I do believe that God is responsible for some degree of negative things that happen to us. For if God can grant us well being can he not take that away from us for any reasons he deems necessary? The Book of Hiob is an interesting lecture on that subject. Normally people don't think that God can be "evil", although I wouldn't go as far as to call such behaviour evil.

I do not believe that God guides us every step of the way, being responsible for everything we do. The majority maybe. By giving us free will God trusts us to lead a path of good and to forgo wicked actions. That leads us to the part were I believe that he is in fact some kind of judge that will weigh our actions that occured during the course of our life. He showed us a few paths that he believed were enough (because DON'T KILL is a great piece of advice) and it is up to us to use that knowledge and decide on the rest.

In fact I do look at him as an ideal omnipotent being, a deus faber that created everything in the universe. Of course when I say create I do not envision an old an waving his magic wand around. God to me is some kind of collective force that binds everything together and manifests himself in everything around us.

You said it was "needed", so explain yourself

I sure as fuck don't need it, so why would you suggest humanity does?

If I can be a moral person without religion, why can't others?

needed because he has the manors of a asshole .....makes his wife wait on him hand an foot (cutting his meat) his daughter is nothing more then a female pawn to him he can use to boost his ego by bragging he spent 25k on conversion lessons for his daughter to make her a full jewish lady ( at the weeding he was talking to ppl about how he paid for it that is when it started the uncontrollable urge to kick in every tooth in his head then make it mush ) my little brother tackled me to keep me from doing it

the guy cares more about ego then anything else ......as of this year he disowned the whole family because he was not the head of it getting all the ass worship from the others (his mother and sister rather ask my older brother or my father or myself for a favor then they would him ).....u want to know his reason for disowning the family because my 8 year old nephew said he did not like him (he is the muncle mean uncle )

as u seen i am blunt person speak my mind ........with micheal out of respect for cindy and miss arlean i keep my mouth shut for 9 years ( i would drink so the urge to call him out on his shit would not overwhelm me ......last year i asked the doctor if she had a pill that could allow me to be around a annoying person .....my family thinks i am a drunk because i would always be drunk around micheal she gave me a benzo pills 30 of them for the year and god they worked .....2 of them and in court i was not looking at every option for escape or death ....just did not care i was a AVG stupid person it was great
