Naw. I was thinking that, since God hasn't officially* killed as many people as Hitler, it could be used for recruiting new religious followers.

*Counting only those killed by God in the Bible. If you include "acts of God" as defined by insurance companies, the numbers done in by the Almighty would dwarf anything mere mortals could hope to achieve.

Actually God has "killed" every sentient being ever born, with the exception of those today who inhabit the planet. Some have just exited in more spectacular ways. If he withdrew his his gift of moment by moment sustaining of life, neither of us could finish typing in a dialogue on this network.

The entire human race is under the cosmic sentence of death. It is bizarre that men who claim to be looking forward only to the worms resist death so vigorously, for death is the only logic in life, in their world. Finally, the illusion that your life has some meaning, that morality is real and not an absurd cerebral secretion, and that love means something more than two dogs fucking..... we can breathe a sigh of relief to have all that nonsense behind us as we slip into nothingness. It is only during life that we kid ourselves that it matters. Logically in that world, death should be yearned for and not run from. I don't understand why one would shirk it.

The fact of the matter is that the only reason you are still alive is because God is longsuffering. Eventually you will die. You can chalk that one up to God too.

Romans 6:23. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Death: one to a person, most everybody gets to experience it.

Life: few there be that find it.


NIV Ezekiel 18:23
Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?

NIV Matthew 7:13-14
13. "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
