God Owes Us an Apology (arrogant God-hater Barbara Ehrenreich)

The Progressive ^ | March 2005 Issue | Barbara Ehrenreich

Sigh, God is so misunderstood.......

[Darkwolf377]

For once they're not blaming something on Bush.

Wonder if she felt this way after 9-11.

[kemathen7]

Wow. So much to refute, so little time.

And she's wrong. God will come to rescue his chosen ones, just not in the way she thinks.

[Just mythoughts]

Some people are so obsessed with flesh.

[Unam Sanctam]

Barbara Ehrenreich owes God an apology.

[Texaggie79]

God gave us liberty to live as we choose. He loves us so much that He does not force us to love Him or live as He wants us. With that comes the price of freedom. God does not control every aspect of our lives, why should He control every aspect of the world?

[franksolich]

Oh, man.

Another idiot who does not understand that it is impossible for a finite, imperfect, human mind to comprehend the workings of something Eternal and Perfect.

One breathes a sigh of relief that the centuries-old "Age of Reason" is finally bellowing out its vigorous death-rattles, being confronted with the stark fact that there is far too much in this world, and in the next, to be known and understood by a finite, limited, number of brain-cells.

[BipolarBob]

She WILL bow and she WILL confess before her Maker. God will NOT be mocked.

[small voice in the wilderness]

One day that smug look on her face WILL be removed. That's a fact.

[JennysCool]

Holy Cow! This chick hasn't the faintest idea what she's talking about! An amazing display of ignorance!

[whereasandsoforth]

I hope God ltes me take poloroids on Judgement Day. I want close-ups of leftist like Barbara to put on my mantel in Heaven. Their sheer panic will keep me amused for eternity.

[Russ]

Well put...

[It's me]

I try. I really try to read the "other" side. Sometimes I just can't bear to waste my time reading their drivel.

This is one of those times.

[kemathen7]

You're going to need a really big mantel.

Maybe we could create a museum ... I'd pay money over and over to see the poloroids.

[gcruse]

(1) If God exists then he is omniscient, omnipotent and perfectly good.
(2) If God were omniscient, omnipotent and perfectly good then the world would not contain evil.
(3) The world contains evil.
Therefore:
(4) It is not the case that God exists.

And if he is neither omniscient, omnipotent, or perfectly good ... who needs him?

[It's me]

No. I understand but that's not good idea.
You won't be gloating in the other's misfortune in heaven.

That is IF you get there.

"Rev 920 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. "

Rev 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. 8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
