God promised that calamity would follow disobedience. So why are we quick to dismiss it

Cuz maybe religion is a crock? Ever think of that?

[Mr. Mulliner]

Everyone who has faith has times of doubting. It's natural. Most don't conclude that it's a crock, but if you have great wisdom to offer to the world, preach away.

thought of that, but then dismissed it.

Most people after sending in their money to crock's like jerry falwell and his ilk find it very hard to think of themselfs as being scammed. Its nice to think that you do not control your fate and that its all one big plan from someone who knows more then yourself. More people then you think do not have enough self confidence in themselfs to believe its all them and not some ultimate power that can control and do anything but for some reason always needs something as trivial as paper money.

Once you believe in that god or force then you can always excuse the bad and good things in life on that being. My son died at eight because its god's plan. I got fired because the good lord wanted me to move on to better things. The twin towers were toppled because we are sinners. I am rich because I was good to the lord not because I studied and worked hard for it.
