Do you love God?

The atttrocities that you mention, having seen, should be rightly attributed to the one responsible… which is Satan… not God.

Okay, sure…

Cast your mind back to the events in Northern Ireland, 2001.

Little schoolgirls, some as young as the age of four, were abused on their way to the Holy Cross Catholic school.

A crowd of around 200 people, yelling verbal abuse, throwing stones and bottles at these poor girls. A lot of the children were so traumatised by the abuse they received, they almost immediately left the school from another exit.

This same event lead to more violent conflict, petrol bombs, and gunfire from both sides, Catholic and Protestant. All because each group was convinced the other religion was wrong. Because they were acting out for God.

It’s this sort of behaviour, associated with religion, often said to be done in the name of it, which makes me refuse to take that road. If absolute faith makes people kill and hurt others in the name of God, then I absolutely reject it.

Besides, what are the criteria for defining what is the work of the Devil? Remember, no religion marched into battle thinking God wasn’t on their side.

“I will strew your flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with your carcass. I will drench the land even to the mountains with your flowing blood…” …Ezekiel 32:5 “I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rend them.” …Hosea 13:8 “…I make weal and create woe, I am the Lord, who do all these things.” …Isaiah 45:7 “Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in the midst of you and sons shall eat their fathers…I will send famine and wild beasts against you and they shall rob you of your children; pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring a sword upon you. I, the Lord, have spoken.” …Ezekiel 5:10, 5:17 “I will corrupt your seed and spread dung upon your faces!” Mala 2:3 “The Lord is a man of War!”

God…Gotta love him, Lol & remember what Jesus says

If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.” …Luke 14:26

So hate your family & you shall be the deciple of Jesus

wow there are a lot of religious people. I honestly can say that idc that much for god. I have my own religion that I dont even care to much about. for me I have my own thoughts about what happens when we die. and idc really if god loves me as long as I have one real friend im fine.

yep I am a christian and no matter what I do I can’t get away from it (not that I want to) but everytime I fall he picks me back up again and is there for me, I put my heart in him and I know that my life long plan that god has make for me will be worth it and I can’t wait to leave this world (oviously in a non suicidal way!!!)

After all the atrocities I have seen committed in God’s name, I try to stay away from religion as a whole. Every other person is entitled to their faith, just as I am entitled to abstain from it.

Good point, I never looked at it that way.

I know some Christians believe that we are simply condemned since the day we are born, perhaps that’s why. It’s rumored that some where in the bible it says that too.

yes I love GOD so much!! He has done so much for me! I don’t see why he hasn’t gave up on me yet! Because I am such a sinner!! I love GOD with all my heart!!

ofcourse I love god look what hes done he gave his only begotten son so that we could be forgivein for our sins. I love him with all my heart.

The atttrocities that you mention, having seen, should be rightly attributed to the one responsible… which is Satan… not God.

Absolute DENIAL of responsibility… sigh

If Satan is responsible, then HE should be held accountable. But no, somehow, he does all the dirty work, but WE will be judged for it. That makes your version of God seem… stupid. So you’re interpretation must be wrong.

And why do all the LLCs keep forgetting to input ‘free-will’ into the equation?

Yep… but there is a dozen or so OTHER verses that contradict it… as usual…

Amen !! - I’m so glad He loved us enough to give us the Greatest Gift, Jesus !! (John 3 : 16)
