Well! It wasn't my fault, he should have learned English instead of speaking in that bloody middle-eastern tongue of his....
pfffft...
He was crying like a baby about the nails in his hands and feet, so I rammed a spear into him really hard to shut the git up.

Oh don't be pathetic. They know exactly what they do. They are having a good mock. Which I have to say is very therapeutic.
If you dont believe in God, why do you have to make such childish remarks. What is so therapeutic about these remarks???

God needs to learn to take a joke.
Proverbs 9:10 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 8:13 - The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Originally posted by dj2beckerIf God wants to be feared, then He is little more than a bully. If God wants to be respected, He should start acting in a manner deserving of respect.

People don't have respect for your God because He comes across as a petty and jealous tyrant.
Since you don't know God, you're not qualified to describe him. If you don't like another's desciption of him, then your problem is with them, not God.
If your an atheist, what about just common decency? Just because you don't agree with another's belief does not mean you have to trample all over it.
Originally posted by dj2beckerHey, if God wants to be feared, then what is there that needs to be known about his character? I hear Napolean also wanted to be feared...
Obviously He would come across as thus to those that do not know Him and are so full of themselves that they are blind to his true character.
