God is the most narcissistic mother fricker to ever be written about. That includes Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Hussein, etc. More blood has been shed in his name than for any other reason in history. And even today with all that we’ve learned and discovered to dispute any type of existence of a god, we still have educated people that choose to believe in this fairy tale. It’s quite puzzling.

I agree, every earthly human has failed at some point, but God also set it up that as we fail, we look to Him for redemption.

How does he choose who he blesses with redemption and who he says frick off to? What’s the criteria?

If you are talking about an earthly existence, I can’t answer that. Why do some people have “God given talent” and most of us dont’t? I don’t think God hates me nor am I mad at him because I can’t hit a curveball or run a 4.2.
But, for those that believe, the answer as to whom he blesses with redemption can be found in probably the most famous verse in the Bible.

I have not read the 7 pages here but I can tell you this... I witnessed this...
My best friend in high school had warts all over his hands. His mom was a RN and did every treatment possible, even lasered the shite off but it came back.
I witnessed his warts being "prayed on" and two weeks later they were gone. All of them, not a fricking mark or any evidence they had ever existed.
Spirituality is a strange thing.
Or maybe just a weird coincidence?
I'm not a bible thumper, haven't been inside a church (except for a wedding or funeral) in over 20 years.
But I watched that guy's hands get "prayed on" and the warts were gone in days.
I have no explanation, only what I personally witnessed.

I wish I could have blind faith and I wish miracles really happened, but I think there is an explanation for everything that happens. Something logical happened that caused whatever to happen.
For four years of Catholic school, we studied the bible every day in religion class. This was when I was in middle school. It just made me question even more. I've said before, I believe in a higher power. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's hard for me to believe that a god will just randomly heal one person, while there are other families who are losing their child.
If he wants to impress me. Make food appear in areas where people are being starved to death (like Yemen). When some jackass is about to go shoot up a school full of kids, strike him with lightning.
Otherwise, something like this. I have to think something happened, that doctors just don't understand yet.

Side track- this is like slavery reparations. Are you willing to pay black people out of your pocket because 200 years ago someone you may or may not be related to had slaves?
Yup.
Also, it was god's will that those people and the millions of other slaves throughout history were owned as property, raped, etc.
That's my kind of god.

Its almost like DNA doesn't exist
Your health, physique, and most actions are as a result of who your ancestors reproduced with. So don't blame God. He warned you that the 'sins' of the father would visit many generations. Congrats on finally comprehending a basic fundamental of the Bible.
And for the uniformed, a sin is simply a transgression. A choice that leads to unforeseen consequences. Consequences which in turn effect your descendants. That's fact, not theology

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I can only wonder at who (or what?) your ancestor laid up with to cause the genetic damage that led to even formulate such nonsense. Keep running people away from God.

Is that like "sending prayers?" Because I downvoted you with gusto!

So what about the kids that aren't healed by prayer? Does God just ignore their family's prayers?
Maybe he just doesn't like those kids.

If i pray enough, god will save me. But, he gives free will to man, so I may get fricked over anyway. But, if I pray enough, and do enough shite that he wants me to do, I will have eternal salvation. But i may still get fricked in the meantime. So ultimately, I may get fricked either way, but if I've bowed down enough, he'll let me in.
I personally want no part of that god, because he is a douche at best and a self-absorbed holier than thou a-hole at best.
Some people need some bullshite feel good crap to make their lives worth living. I don't. frick him and his plan.
This man gets it.

When I was back there in seminary school there was a person there who put forth the proposition that you can petition the Lord with prayer. You cannot petition the Lord with prayer.
