I bet the medical mass murderer Dr. Harold Shipman would have probably imagined this as his rationale as well.

“Jesus told me to kill 200-400 people!”

Though ironically, Shipman would really be considered a piker these days, with British doctors annually killing 30,000 or more people. And you know it’s not all of them doing the killing, so some probably number in the thousands for the homicides they have committed.

A special place in Hell for such people.

I’ll be happy to answer you from my perspective, if you’re really interested.

Phoney baloney, like Westboro Baptist.

A sick puppy that one.

This is no surprise; the people working in the death camps thought they were providing an invaluable service to Europe.

I’d like to see your thoughts on this, baltiless.

Thanks, MDLION. I tried to send you a private message, as I didn’t want to bump a dead thread or open myself up to flaming, but my account is too new to do so. So, flame away. :)

Here’s my deal: I spent the vast majority of my life as an atheist. In 2012, I had several experiences, that I’d prefer not to go into to much detail about, that convinced me that there is indeed a God.

Like most people, probably, who have such experiences (at least in the Western world), I immediately began exploring Christianity as a way to learn about and try to understand what my soul encountered. I was not at all unfamiliar with Christianity and the Bible in my prior life, but obviously I was reading and thinking from a new perspective.

After perhaps 10 months or a year or so, though, I still found Christianity to be not right for me. I found (and find) it limiting, in the sense that I believe that God is love, and nothing but love, and the laws and rules proffered in the Bible are largely man-made. (Note: this does not necessarily imply that I think that they’re wrong or useless, only that they’re not necessarily divinely inspired.)

Your comment that you believe that people have pet sins that they’re not willing to give up rang somewhat true, but I look at it from a somewhat different perspective. Namely, there are Biblical prohibitions that I don’t agree with that do render me, from a Christian perspective, an unrepentant sinner. But my belief is that no God that I’m willing to worship is going to look negatively upon - and certainly not punish me for - things that are completely natural and harm absolutely nobody.

I pray regularly. I pray for strength and wisdom and patience and, when I’ve done wrong, forgiveness. My “spirituality,” for lack of a better word, has (I hope) led me to be a better person and more attuned to the fact that there is something beyond this world that I can’t possibly hope to understand in a full sense. But I find the rules and dogmas associated with Christianity (and every other organized religion I’ve spent any time learning about) to be decidedly temporal and not really godly.

Keep seeking God, baltiless, you will not regret it.

“Everything else can wait, the search for God cannot wait.”
-George Harrison (1943-2001)

I also pray for patience and strength. After I pray for patience, I’ll usually encounter situations which try my patience. I believe God in His Providence and Wisdom often uses very ordinary means to help us acquire the virtues we pray for.

Given that you know that quote, you likely also know his quote from the Beatles “Anthology” in which he states that “All You Need is Love” was “a bit of subtle PR for God.” I LOVE that statement...
