Well .. your comments are risky in that you have my motives all wrong .. for starters.
As for "motives" being ascribed to GOD .. if I can have motives, surely God has motives .. since I'm created in His image and likeness.
All I said was the man died. I never said I was happy about it or that I thought it was God's revenge. You have ascribed those motives all on your own.
But .. I would never second-guess God. I just find it ironic and more than coincidental that the man who worked so hard to remove a reminder to the public that there is a God, would pass away (from cancer) as soon as the verdict was in - the cross was going to stay.
I never said "God killed the atheist" - you did.
Glad to hear it.
All I said was the man died.
Trivially false. Anyone who reads your post above knows exactly what you said, and you said much more than "the man died."
I never said I was happy about it or that I thought it was God's revenge.
Oh please. You first post was clearly celebrating the man's death. It is impossible to read it any other way.
if I can have motives, surely God has motives .. since I'm created in His image and likeness.
What a dishonest diversion. This is about your motives, not God's. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not God has motives, or whether or not you are permitted to have motives, or whose image you are created in.
But .. I would never second-guess God.
You definitely did, in your first post. You probably did in your last post too, when you said that the death was "more than coincidental."
I never said "God killed the atheist" - you did.
That was the clear meaning of your first post, and it is dishonest of you to pretend otherwise.
Your thuggish comments don't belong on a thread about that beautiful cross.
You know what .. YOU CAN TAKE A FLYING LEAP! I don't give a stinking rip what YOU think about what I said. I know what I said and if you don't like it - that's just toooooooo bad.
Get a life!!
