View Full Version : God will not be Mocked
What do you guys think of this?,the power of God.I didn't know these facts,I sure don't till now:
Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!
Make a personal reflection about this.. Very interesting, read untilthe end...
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Here are some men and women who mocked God:
John Lennon
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: "Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966). Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During a show in Canecoo ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you." He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.
The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it" The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.
Marilyn Monroe
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.
Bon Scott:
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: "Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell". On the 19th of February 1980 , Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.
Campinas/SP IN 2005
In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here...It's Already Full"
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none were broken.
Christine Hewitt: a Jamaican Journalist and entertainer,said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written, in June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.

sigh.... the spammers. when will they stop - some real truths about this:
John Lennon
were killed 14years after that (from 1966 to 1980) by a Christian (Mark David Chapman) who shot him in the chest infront of his recording studio.
At 10:50 p.m. on 8 December 1980, Mark David Chapman shot Lennon in front of the Dakota.
Chapman went to New York in October 1980 planning to kill Lennon, but left to obtain bullets from his unwitting friend Dana Reeves in Atlanta. He returned to New York in November but reports that, after going to the cinema and being inspired by the film Ordinary People, he returned to Hawaii, telling his wife he had been obsessed with killing Lennon but had snapped out of it. On December 6, he flew back to New York. He reports having re-enacted some fictional events from Holden Caulfield's stay in New York in Catcher in the Rye.
On the morning of December 8, 1980, having left personal items in his hotel room for police to find, Chapman bought a copy of The Catcher in the Rye from a New York bookstore, in which he wrote "This is my statement", and signed "The Catcher in the Rye". He then spent most of the day near the entrance to The Dakota apartment building where Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono lived, talking to other fans and the doorman. Late in the morning, Chapman met the Lennons' housekeeper, who had just taken their five-year-old son Sean for a walk. Chapman conversed with the housekeeper and patted Sean on the head as they departed.
Around 4:00 p.m., John and Yoko left The Dakota for a recording session at the Record Plant Studios. As they walked towards their limousine on the curb, Chapman shook hands with Lennon and held out a copy of Lennon's new album, Double Fantasy, for him to sign. An amateur photographer was present when Lennon signed Chapman's album and took a photo of the event. Chapman reported that "At that point my big part won and I wanted to go back to my hotel, but I couldn’t. I waited until he came back."
Around 10:50 p.m., the Lennons' limousine returned to the Dakota. Lennon and Ono passed by Chapman and walked towards the archway entrance of the building's courtyard. From the street, Chapman turned and fired five hollow point bullets from a Charter Arms .38 revolver he had purchased in Hawaii, four of which hit Lennon's back and shoulder. One of the bullets pierced Lennon's aorta, causing severe blood loss. It has been suggested that, before firing, Chapman called out "Mr. Lennon!" and dropped into a "combat stance"[7] but this is not stated in court hearings or interviews.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_David_Chapman
Marilyn Monroe
Billy graham didn't visit her but his assistant called her.
One night in 1962 in a hotel in Seattle, Billy Graham was sound asleep. Suddenly he awoke with what he later described as "a burden to pray for Marilyn Monroe," the movie actress. When the feeling continued the next day, one of Graham's associates tried to reach the actress through one of her agents. The agent offered no hope for a meeting immediately. "Not now. Maybe two weeks from now," he said. Two weeks later Marilyn Monroe's suicide shocked the world. Two weeks was too late.

Bon Scott:
didn't die of his 'throw-up but from alcohol poisoning...
On February 19, 1980, Bon Scott passed out after a night of routine partying in London, and was left in a car owned by an acquaintance of his named Alistair Kinnear. The following morning, Kinnear rushed him to King's College Hospital in Camberwell, where Scott was pronounced dead on arrival. Although common folklore claims that pulmonary aspiration of vomit was the cause of Scott's death, the official cause was listed as "acute alcohol poisoning" and "death by misadventure".[11] Scott's family buried him in Fremantle, Western Australia, the area to which they had emigrated when he was a child.[12]
Inconsistencies in the official accounts of Scott's death have been cited in conspiracy theories, which suggest that Scott died of a heroin overdose, or was killed by exhaust fumes redirected into the car, or that Kinnear did not exist.[11] Additionally, Scott was asthmatic and the temperature was below freezing on the morning of his death

After? Fourteen years later.
It is true that if God is as portrayed in the Bible he is petty and vindictive.
only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
Where does he live? Does he have an e-mail address? Does he still work as a preacher or has he moved onto other pursuits?

Seriously...i could just as easily say that all of the people mentioned above went to loo that day and come to the conclusion that toilets kill people. (quite indiscriminately too...i believe you don't even have to mock them)
If Gos kills you if you mock him, then one can assume the inverse must also be true.
Maybe someone can post a list of people who have praised God over the last hundred years or so and are being kept alive by God? Or does God also kill those who praise him?

Hmm so we have like what...8 people who would have died anyway, but attention is being drawn to them because they didn't believe in God? And John Lennon dying 14 years later is just a sad and desperate attempt to discredit those who don't believe.
So how many of these (http://www.celebatheists.com/index.php?title=Main_Page) celebrities died for not believing in God? The worlds richest man is atheist - did he die yet?
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
And why specifically does it have to be Jesus? Billions of people don't believe in him - did they die yet?

that statement is slightly flawed:
Bill Gates has never admitted to being an atheist only that he doesnt know if God exists, he actually said in numerous inteviews that religion can have a positive impact.
Plus why would anyone want to mock God, whether you believe in him or not, what would the point be?

Because god has done more harm than good. It's pretty worthwhile mocking a ridiculous idea that billions of people are gullible enough to fall for isn't it? It's kinda like mocking people who still believe that the earth is flat.

Seriously though, not understanding the world around you and then attributing the unknown to an all-powerful, mystical being and then worshiping it seems like poor thinking to me.
And the very epitome of poor thinking is believing in fairytales just because you're family told you it was the right thing to do or else you are punished with eternal damnation.

Sorry Mr TB, I understand my pommie sense of humour can get lost in translation.
What I was saying was that in the throes of passion, the stereotypical image is of people calling out God's name, perhaps not mocking but certainly "taking God's name in vain" in the good old traditional sense.
The "not so quick in my case" was merely a reference to my incredible stamina in the sack.

3 The husband should fulfill his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband’s needs.
4 The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife.
5 Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. "

The people mentioned by GTI overstepped the boundaries, or as the non-believer will say their luck ran out, in christian terms their cup of iniquities overflowed.
Same thing happened to the nations destroyed by Israel in Canaan. Their cup of iniquities overflowed, that is the reason G-D gave Canaan to Israel.
Read Leviticus...

This so-called idea of "G-D" is a problem for most because sexual immorality is not excused in this idea.
Billions of people died because they can not contain themselves, fornication, homosexuality and adultery are at the foreground of those opposing the idea of "G-D".
Lust and free sex and prostitution that are the killers of society.
12 boys raped a mentally ill girl, urinated on her, and then set her hair on fire.
They videotaped the incident and uploaded it on youtube, this is the god less society you are advocating...

5 Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. "
the statement is directed to the "both of you" assuming you have given authority of yo body to her/him and vise versa, when you are together you engage in differnt relations, emotional, spiritual, mental and sexual...an old couple are still in a relationship but it may not be sexual due to physical incapabilities..please do not deprive yourselves of sex, unless if you want to fully commit yourselves into prayer for that while..it means stop saying i have a headache or come home at the early hours extremely drunk and fall asleep, that is deprivation. having it elsewhere and not with your wife or partner at home is also deprivation

Your swearing at G-D gives the adversary, who is a legalist, the right to perform very unacceptable deeds on earth, as the one described in youtube.

Have you characters ever thought about it literally?
Galatians 6:7-8
7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that naturewill reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Now, I may confuse some bk.ru's or some other people, but these are spiritual words.
Most people read that text and say: Okay, if I mock God, I will reap what I sow, but is it saying that?
It's saying God cannot be mocked, period, you will do what you do in life, but the end event is due to your actions, therefore, God, the Almighty, does not care or even think about you mocking Him.
Why should He? He created everything, should He really care about what you said? No my friends, He does not.
He's too good for the likes of you, goodness is something that has to be earned and developed, it's not taught ;)

Billy Gates although admitting that he is an atheist, seem to be meek and humble, not one challenging the existence of G-D...

If god exists, and you indeed find yoruself at the pearly gates, and if you ask for forgiveness he will let you into heaven. If god exists and you find yourself at the pearly gates, that means you have a soul. The soul, if it exists if pure life/consciousness. The nature of soul cannot be comprehended and the soul itself transcends all kind of human thinking. When you die, you will not be your soul and your soul will not be you. The actions of the human mind and body while it is alive are meaningless to the soul. The amount of suffering that can be expereinced or inflicted on the earthly plain are insignificant compared to what exists in the plain in which the soul resides.
If you find yourself at the pearly gates, your soul will transcend all your worldly actions and while the soul may remember what was done while it was in that body, it cannot be really be blamed for those acts. WHile in the human body, the human pshyche cannot be aware of the nature of the soul, as this is not even possible.
When at the pearly gates you soul needs only ask for forgiveness, if this is in fact even necessary. If you ask, you will be forgiven. Hell is therefore reserved for those evil souls which simply refuse to ask for forgiveness. WHen you find yourself at the pealy gates, you will not be the ghost, so to speak, of yourself.
If god is willing to damn you to an eternity in hell simply because you refused to go to church, or you did something, the nature of which you couldnt have fully understood, then I dont want to worship such a god anyways.
The bible may say something different, but then again how do you put into words something that complex, especially when you are trying to explain it to a bunch of uneducated idiots.....so what does the bible say...if you're good you go to heaven, if you're bad you go to hell!!!

I still, to this day, find it amusing how people can consider it plausible that their all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving god needs his tiny little insignificant creations to love and worship him or he will condemn them to eternal damnation.

For those of us who do not believe in God or who are not Christian, quoting the bible is entirely irrelevant as, to us (apologies to others for being presumptuous), what it contains is not the word of God and it holds no more authority than the works of Plato or Tacitus (probably far less in fact).

I do not agree with you because:
1) When Jesus was crucified, 2 other men were also crucified. One of them went to heaven although he did bad things his entire life...
2) The parable of "THE RICH MAN", he did everything required but follow Jesus. In other words he did good but love for his money cost him...
3) The bible also state there is only one that is worthy, that is Jesus Christ. Works are dead and can't bring salvation.
4) Salvation is found in faith in Jesus Christ, and from the faith flows the fruit which is good works...
Umm, neo that should be read within a marriage ;)
Where does it say so?
Do christians then have the only right to intepret the bible in their own way to justify their own, personal believes. :)
Still can't see where I'm wrong in my interpretation. The instruction is not to deprive each other of sexual relations. It does not say "Don't withhold sex from your husband/wife", does it? It basically says "Don't stop your partner from having sex"
The actual point I'm trying to make is that people like Mr. TB (formely known as dodo) makes wild assumptions on reading a biblical verse (remember 'go forth and multiply' was interpreted as 'homo's are wrong'), but then want to argue someone else's valid interpretation, just because it does not fit their own view.

New age is the word scared Christians use to excuse away any notions of reform. Fact is if Christians actually kept up with their scholars we wouldn't have such a huge divide between dogmatic fundamentalists and liberal atheistic non-realists.
In truth New Age is any adoption of religion to the changing needs of society, such as Christianity was for the oppressed Jewish people of the time.

What do you guys think of this?,the power of God.I didn't know these facts,I sure don't till now:
Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!
Make a personal reflection about this.. Very interesting, read untilthe end...
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Here are some men and women who mocked God:
John Lennon
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: "Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966). Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During a show in Canecoo ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you." He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.
The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it" The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.
Marilyn Monroe
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.
Bon Scott:
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: "Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell". On the 19th of February 1980 , Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.
Campinas/SP IN 2005
In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here...It's Already Full"
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none were broken.
Christine Hewitt: a Jamaican Journalist and entertainer,said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written, in June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
Don't forget Samora machel. He referred to God as a pig. And not long after that, he took a flight and his airplane crashed, and observers on the scene said they have never seen a body ripped to shreds like his was.

maybe your deducement is indeed legitimate but it is absurd because:
-fornication is illegal, and refers to the unmarried.
-adultery is illegal, and refers to the married.
-same-sex (homosexual) relationships is illegal, applies to everyone.
-beastiality (animal/homo-sapiens sex) is illegal, applies to all.
The writer has already condemned the above activities before referring to intercourse between husband and wife.
An affair is not possible , it will bring one of the condemned activities into play. The sexual relations referred to can then only be intercourse between husband and wife.
Rather proper analysis of the passage show sex should not be used to manipulate your spouse.
If you understand witchcraft you will also realise what manipulation, intimidation, and rebellion as well as self-pity is.
Your deducement runs along the following line:
"honour your father and mother"
From this line i can deduce that i need only to honour my father and mother not any other person, it is legitimate but really absurd.
As you can clearly see perversion of text is easy, even i can do it...

And this is exactly what I wanted to point out; It's very easy to take a verse from the bible and put your own interpretation onto it and then declare it to be the infallible word of god.
Your own "go forth and multiply" = "homosexuality is wrong" stays the classic example.

Jesus walking earth did not call himself good. He called his father in heaven good. I cannot adhere to your request:

And do not say, ‘By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the city of the great King. 36 Do not even say, ‘By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black.

Because it is easier to "debate" with someone if you have a good idea of what their position is and, due to the volume of their posts here, DouwDouw was certainly a known entity. Therefore, if you are DouwDouw, others would better understand from whence you come.
After all, why should you hide the fact?
And, please, just in case you were feeling persecuted, do not equate this line of questioning with pilate asking Jesus if he was the king of the Jews. ;)

Nothing sinister. Like beancounter said; we can then debate from a known position. Otherwise it takes time to get to know the person.

I'm also Afrikaans, so I (and many others) would probably take exception to your idea that it's due to Afrikaners having to express themselves in English that leads to nonsensical posts.
Rather it's your peculiar writing style, use of CAPS and specific ways of spelling (G-D, for example) plus your distinct ideas that clearly shows you are, in fact, dodo. Let alone a silly 'GOD' sig in caps.

The verse is translated to get the just of it across.
Heres the amplified (i love my amplified!):
"Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside). [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.
I thinks clear with regards to the points people made about fornication and blasphemy etc. If you are going to study the bible word for word, i recommend the oringal language. Failing that try the amplified. Although it does not flow easily, it is designed to give you the best comprehension of the orginal text.

Why may I not mock a false god? (You’re God is an false god in my eyes, imo)
Why may you preach to me there is a God and say I may not mock him as my believe system is being offended by you the Christian preachers?
By demanding me to stop mocking God is like forcing me to admit he is real (Even though he is not) and that is against my believe system, so no thank you.
You can be offended I really don’t care because you do not for me, as preaching about God or saying he is real is an insult on my believe system. Debating or saying things about a false god, idol, list goes on is my believe system and to preach the word that the Christian word is false as they do about other religions.
You also condemn your opinions on me by saying I am a sinner, infidel, list goes on with name calling and I shall return the favor.

Campinas/SP IN 2005
In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here...It's Already Full"
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none were broken.

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
sigh.... the spammers. when will they stop - some real truths about this:
John Lennon
were killed 14years after that (from 1966 to 1980) by a Christian (Mark David Chapman) who shot him in the chest infront of his recording studio.
At 10:50 p.m. on 8 December 1980, Mark David Chapman shot Lennon in front of the Dakota.
Chapman went to New York in October 1980 planning to kill Lennon, but left to obtain bullets from his unwitting friend Dana Reeves in Atlanta. He returned to New York in November but reports that, after going to the cinema and being inspired by the film Ordinary People, he returned to Hawaii, telling his wife he had been obsessed with killing Lennon but had snapped out of it. On December 6, he flew back to New York. He reports having re-enacted some fictional events from Holden Caulfield's stay in New York in Catcher in the Rye.
On the morning of December 8, 1980, having left personal items in his hotel room for police to find, Chapman bought a copy of The Catcher in the Rye from a New York bookstore, in which he wrote "This is my statement", and signed "The Catcher in the Rye". He then spent most of the day near the entrance to The Dakota apartment building where Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono lived, talking to other fans and the doorman. Late in the morning, Chapman met the Lennons' housekeeper, who had just taken their five-year-old son Sean for a walk. Chapman conversed with the housekeeper and patted Sean on the head as they departed.
Around 4:00 p.m., John and Yoko left The Dakota for a recording session at the Record Plant Studios. As they walked towards their limousine on the curb, Chapman shook hands with Lennon and held out a copy of Lennon's new album, Double Fantasy, for him to sign. An amateur photographer was present when Lennon signed Chapman's album and took a photo of the event. Chapman reported that "At that point my big part won and I wanted to go back to my hotel, but I couldn’t. I waited until he came back."
Around 10:50 p.m., the Lennons' limousine returned to the Dakota. Lennon and Ono passed by Chapman and walked towards the archway entrance of the building's courtyard. From the street, Chapman turned and fired five hollow point bullets from a Charter Arms .38 revolver he had purchased in Hawaii, four of which hit Lennon's back and shoulder. One of the bullets pierced Lennon's aorta, causing severe blood loss. It has been suggested that, before firing, Chapman called out "Mr. Lennon!" and dropped into a "combat stance"[7] but this is not stated in court hearings or interviews.

Marilyn Monroe
Billy graham didn't visit her but his assistant called her.
One night in 1962 in a hotel in Seattle, Billy Graham was sound asleep. Suddenly he awoke with what he later described as "a burden to pray for Marilyn Monroe," the movie actress. When the feeling continued the next day, one of Graham's associates tried to reach the actress through one of her agents. The agent offered no hope for a meeting immediately. "Not now. Maybe two weeks from now," he said. Two weeks later Marilyn Monroe's suicide shocked the world. Two weeks was too late.

Bon Scott:
didn't die of his 'throw-up but from alcohol poisoning...
On February 19, 1980, Bon Scott passed out after a night of routine partying in London, and was left in a car owned by an acquaintance of his named Alistair Kinnear. The following morning, Kinnear rushed him to King's College Hospital in Camberwell, where Scott was pronounced dead on arrival. Although common folklore claims that pulmonary aspiration of vomit was the cause of Scott's death, the official cause was listed as "acute alcohol poisoning" and "death by misadventure".[11] Scott's family buried him in Fremantle, Western Australia, the area to which they had emigrated when he was a child.[12]
Inconsistencies in the official accounts of Scott's death have been cited in conspiracy theories, which suggest that Scott died of a heroin overdose, or was killed by exhaust fumes redirected into the car, or that Kinnear did not exist.[11] Additionally, Scott was asthmatic and the temperature was below freezing on the morning of his death

There is a difference between choosing not to believe and cursing who created you... Just picture for a second that you were a God who created this world and then some little ******* starts cursing you publicly and tries to turn others against you. You would squash him like a flea.
Why would I need to as a God do that? Why would God feel threatened by something as trivial and a minor carbon based life form cursing it publicly?
Surely God is the "bigger man"? And can walk away from such sillyness?
Wow... do some people have Gods with issues that humans can get over!
Its a weak God that gives into such petty human emotions such as anger, jealousy or in your example.. pride. (are we noticing a pattern in these emotions? 7 deadly whats?).

You have such a human God. It apparently suffers from similar hang ups and evils that humans do. lol... by my standards... my mom is better than your God, cause I could call her any name under the sun, and sure it would hurt the hell outta her and I would never do it to her.. but she loves me unconditionally.. something apparently your human vice God can not do. My mom can get over anger and jealousy.. but your God cant?
