| Sidekick | 'Be not deceived; God is not mocked, for wahtever a man sows, he will also reap' I believe this was in Ephesians or specifically Ephesians 5:8, I could be wrong but nevertheless that is a part of my point. Recently, I got an email forwarded to me by a friend who not only told me instances they were individuals who not only mocked God but suffered greatly for it. I know that verse contains multiple meanings to it such as 'whatever you sow, you will reap' or 'what goes around, comes around' but the people who died in horrible ways are kind of examples of this concept especially when you consider the Titanic where millions have died as say this with the highest arrogance, "Not even God can sink this ship'. I know to fear God that is to respect and give reverance to Him but do you believe that God takes thing too personally? I mean that if we collectively said that God cannot destroy the forums, wouldn't be God's irony if the forums had closed down? I would think so especially when you consider said verse where it states, 'whatever you will sow, you also reap' but do we need that afraid of what God might do to us if we do or say a certain thing wrong? I prefer to think of God as a personal Friend of mine who I can talk all the time and who always be there when I am in danger but our relationship is 'You don't have to be a afraid of Me, just respect Me' but the God that left those individual to those devices where they perished in horrible ways just for saying things with the highest seems kind of cruel. I hope not experience this in my lifetime or suffer an untimely death but still is God that cruel enough to do such things or is this whole just conveniently matched coinicidences that the people died? I hope to understand better from other Christians or from any other religions perspective. |

| Fuck man wats rong wit u? | Yeah... you can hate it all you want, but to him it's a magic book sent to him by his space daddy. So to respect his views we should not call it crap. Perhaps "Not true", but crap is just intolerant. |

However, that verse has a clear implication that I think some people miss. The part that mentions "God cannot be mocked" doesn't mean that if you mock God, He will bring his wrath upon you. It actually refers to arrogance that you cannot be affected by something that you yourself participate in. For example, if you are a big businessman who uses "shady" tactics to take over companies, you shouldn't be surprised if another company uses similar tactics on you, since it tends to come with the territory. |

My point is, you can't prove it doesn't either. The best you can do is look at the elements of the belief behind that deity, and what are the parts of it. In Christianity, the element is the Bible and the stories behind it. If the stories are true, if the Jesus they talk about is real, then obviously the God they talk about is real. If not, you can't. | |
