Hi John Clark God loved the believers and hated the nonbelievers, at least that's what the Bible tells us.
So who would he slay ? Roger Clough, rclo...@verizon.net 9/17/2012 Leibniz would say, "If there's no God, we'd have to invent him so that everything could function." ----- Receiving the following content ----- From: John Clark Receiver: everything-list Time: 2012-09-16, 13:41:07 Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: the "nothing but" fallacy.

Doesn't it ever bother you that you believe very deeply in something that you know to be paradoxical and do so for no other reason than that's what you were told as a child? Does it ever bother you that the only reason they told you that is that they themselves were told that when they were children?? > Jesus' bark was much worse than his bite. In other words Jesus was a damn liar telling disgusting and terrifying tails to His children for no other reason than to get them to do what He wanted them to do. And That's exactly the same reason Bernie Madoff told lies. > He was angry at sinners and sin, as you might expect him to be. No, that's not what I'd expect an all loving all knowing omnipotent being to do! > But He died for them -- and us as well --?t Golgotha. So God arranged things so that we would torture Him to death because then He could forgive us for eating a apple. You really have to teach that to children when they are very very young, if you waited till they're 17 they'd laugh in your face. Jesus had infinite resources at his disposal and could have come off that cross with a snap of His fingers, and I'm supposed to get all weepy over Golgotha?? If He really wanted to show His love for us a cure for bone cancer would be more appreciated than the stupid cross stunt. ?
