You misread me. I said that God forgives us for being angry at Him, which we all do from time to time.

I do not, however, believe that He forgives everything under all circumstances, which is what you seem to think I said.

I have no wish to involve myself in a religious flame war.

My experience, obviously limited nearly to absurdity, is that God judges with such mercy that the judged are overwhelmed with awe. The judged are brought to a knowledge of their true nature, and for most a terribly sorrowful realization it is.

Anger at God is perhaps like the anger of a child for his or her parent. Expectable, heedless, impulsive, and generally forgiven. Childish, and foolish, too.

I have a personality like a buzz saw. Slash and burn school of human relations. My cross to bear. Please forgive me for my aggression.
