[Revelation 911]

my gay sister would no doubt bristle at such a notion - ...........must mean its right on

I love this line

Only a sadistic god would conceive and conduct such a horrific deed.

We know this not to be the case - Our God sent His only divine Son to accept the sin of mankind....so that we may know the Father through Him

nice post

[Dad was my hero]

I'm mulling this one over. Upfront (no pun intended) I agree with virtually all he wrote, the part I'm having trouble with is that of the religious perspective. If God didn't make mistakes as to how people are made, then what explains babies with birth defects such as Down syndrome, cleft palates and spina bifida?

Good article.

You never read the Old Testament have you, if the story of Job is not a sadistic act(s) by God and the Devil on an innocent man and everything he cares for including his family, than I don't know what is.

In the Old Testament, God is portrayed as being less than a nice person, to say the least. Now on the other hand (in the New Testament) Jesus, not God, is really nice person, but God is another story.
