"10000% needs to be said. If God is real pissing him off is not good policy in Government."

I agree entirely with the "10,000%" comment, but I don't think God gets 'pissed'. I think God wants people to choose good and to choose to be with God. When people choose against that, they become isolated in existence, alone, apart from God. This doesn't lead to happiness.

Good post. From Genesis, God has always given Man a choice. It is a key of Judeo-Christian doctrine.

Ever read about Noah and the Great Flood? Genesis says that mankind became so evil that God was sorry He had created humans. So God drowned everyone except Noah and his family. Accounts of evil behavior being punished are recorded in many places in the Scriptures.

The old testament God seemed pretty pissed off when he smited Sodom and Gomorrah and when he exterminated earth’s entire population except for Noah’s family. I would say the old testament God was pissed off on a regular basis. Since his only Son died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, God doesn’t seem to get very pissed off anymore.

But who knows?

Read I Kings 16: 33

Most definitely. God becomes angry at the behavior of people. And the secular Left is a good example similar to the behavior of Ahab that raised His ire.
