You want me to pretend that someone is out there while I am talking to the air? Just because you say there is? You still diond't answer my simple question.

God is not a hypothesis. He lives. His Name is I AM. I've known Him for a half century and counting.

Any demand that I "prove" Him is absurd. Thus, I dismiss your questions out-of-hand.

Why was it "irrational?"

The example was of a nice Palestinian man going postal at the mention of Jews.

The rest of your post consists of your judgments against God and Christ.

As I said before, God will not justify Himself to you and neither will I.

Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withholden from thee. Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes. - Job 42:1-6

Man is not the measure of God.

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying], Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. – Psalms 2:1-5

Love God. Believe Him. Trust Him.

Occasionally, in my life,

I’ve come across folks who’ve made it a hobby if not a vocation to try and stick their fingers in God’s eyes.

Usually, while ranting about His nonexistence.

Somewhat more rarely, I’ve had the impression that such folks were skating on extremely thin ice . . . not just that on judgment day would they find things hotter than they wished . . . but a lot sooner than they might imagine in their worst nightmares.

It’s always shocked me a bit how utterly ignorant of such hazards some such folks were.

Truly the Scripture is accurate . . . avoid bothering or being concerned about the wicked . . . for essentially, they are less substantial than a rare Phoenix fox and less durable as well.

Was it Johnathan Edwards who preached so movingly about how frightful it was to fall into the hands of an angry God Almighty . . . for spurning His Son’s Salvation.

It would appear that some folks NEVER learned the least bit of sanity about any kind of authority.

Sometimes, that seems to come from abusive parents from an early age. Sometimes it seems to come from parents who were laisez faire to the max and/or also hostile to the notion of God themselves.

Such offspring seem to chronically have troubled relationships with people in addition to being estranged from God.

And !!!!CONTROL!!!! issues are rampant points of friction.

Fascinating phenomenon that seems to be manifesting in more and more lives.

As Scripture predicted for this era . . . lawlessness and affrontery to God Almighty is building toward a maxed-out crescendo.

God have mercy.
