Only by reference.
It WAS time for a little levity!
And; it’s one of those jokes that cannot be told; only read.
I don’t have the answer. I only have questions.
One might begin with a hypothesis life was that which engages in self supporting activity. That is probably too narrow. I have kids in college that don’t do that.
John 18:38
We didn’t kill sentence everyone in Germany at Nuremburg.
“God did not *create a system*. God is not punishing people for not accepting His gift.”
You’ve heard of hell, I trust. Created by God to punish those who do this or don’t do that, yada, yada, yada.
Everything else you wrote is sophistry. The God you believe in is going to separate the sheep from the goats someday (Matthew 25, I believe). The goats are going to get roasted.
Just a few days ago, I read a news piece about Syrian terrorist lighting puppies on fire and flinging them at their opponents. The overwhelming visceral reaction to that bit of information was horror. What kind of monsters would do that?
What those puppies suffered is NOTHING compare to what God has in store for lost sinners (assuming the Bible is true).
Oh?
Seems like you've provided TONS of answers in this thread alone.
Many of them you think are right.
Obama is only your fault if you didn’t vote for Romney AND you were in a state that Romney didn’t win.
Why not?
I have answers to easy questions that can be answered by science.
Ethics is harder. Consider this: I mostly work on better ways of killing people. I console myself that some people need to be dead.
Partly because of ethics, as poorly as we understand that.
Is there a condensed more concise version of his perspective on this topic?
Methinks that article was "concise," if not "condensed." Then again, its all relative, right?
If not, Ill just come back when I have more time.
I hope you do have more time, you might learn something here.

So THAT's what happened to Elmer!
What is truth? Is truth unchanging laws? We both have truths, are mine the same as yours?
JC Superstar.
So judgemental.
GOD complex?
Who has a G-d complex?
Humble me?
“The rockets go up,
And where they come down?
That’s not my department
Said Werner von Braun.
Let me help...
the point is, some people need to be dead. I am not necessarily the one who decides that.
Though if I wake at night, and someone is in my house without permission molesting my girls, I may be able to make up my mind quickly with a satisfactorily low error rate.
Yes, I've heard of hell, and no, it was not created to punish man. It was created to punish the devil and his angels who followed him.
Just a few days ago, I read a news piece about Syrian terrorist lighting puppies on fire and flinging them at their opponents. The overwhelming visceral reaction to that bit of information was horror. What kind of monsters would do that?
OK, so God should not punish those who do that sort of thing?
What kind of God would not punish serial rapists or murders?
Would that suit you better?
What about their victims? Do they not get to see justice done for the crimes committed against them? How is that fair to THEM?
