["Is a deity that condemns all non-believers to hell worth believing in?" Emphasis in original.]
If you cured AIDS itself and gave billions of dollars to feed the poor. And you offered it up to God on judgement day. It's like offering a <font color=red>BIG BLOODY TAMPON</font> in the face of a holy God. Because God is perfect and his standards are perfect. And we cant keep them which is why Jesus came. Because he is the only one who did. --- Believe on him

I think this qualifies for an award. "Big Bloody Tampon Award"? "Gotta Love That God"? Something in this direction. It is nice to see that even if you find a cure for everything, god made the poor people to go to hell. Heck, why even bother helping anyone? Perfect god condemns them anyway.
Wow. All I saw was big bloody tampon. y'know what, I'm gonna take your idea. If, some how, revelations happens, I'm stealing a used tampon and offering it to god. He'll get a kick out of it, I'm sure.
If "God" is perfect, why hasn't HE cured AIDS and fed the poor?
Incubusion -- "God," being omniscient, already knows you're going to do that and is already getting a chickle out of your madcap hijinx.
So you can't keep to god's standards anyway, and are going to hell for it? Why bother even trying then? If there is no differnce between doing lots of good works for people and having a used tampon, why not just go with the tampon? It seems much easier than actually working for whatever you are going to get in the end.

SERIOUSLY!!!
Is he actually suggesting we should sit back and do nothing in case we actually succeed and offend God by outdoing him?
Or is it more that God, not wanting any more burnt offerings prefers them rare now?
-------------------------
Spot the incompetent, bigoted, mysogynist who wants to believe he's superior to his betters!
What if we die and we're not menstruating? Too old, too young, too stressed, poor cycle management, failure to synchonise our impending doom with heavy days, not enough X chromosomes.
Can we soak the tampon in Communion wine, will that do?
"Blood Belching Vagina"? How revolting is that?! Feverishly seconded ... or forthed (or however you say that).
This is all so ignorant and downright stupid. "Only he who truely repents goes to heaven" and he who never heard of the christian god because he lives as an Aborigin before the arrival of Cook (just an example ... somewhere far away from all religious) will go to hell, because god judged him on his confession. Obvioulsy not christian. The same with your deeds. Do whatever good you like to, but in the face of god it's just a BBT. Nice.
Those fundies will never think out of their bounds, they will never see the ridicilousness of that, and behold! The situation is symmetrical, they'll never see that another religious group comparable in size to christianity is exactly the same, only they call their god "Allah". Stupid name for a "God"! God is god, thats why all muslims will burn in hell!
So good deeds mean absolutely nothing? You know, when Christians assure me that they do good deeds because they're good, and not because God told them to, I'd like to believe them, but I just can't get the words of manaics like this out of my head. This ideology truly is disgusting. Don't do anything to help your fellow human being. Just follow some archaic set of rules, and everything will turn out alright.
I'm sorry, wasn't god the one who ASKED for bloody offerings? As long as it is dripping with gore I'm sure he'll approve.
For a moment I thought that 'BIG BLOODY TAMPON' would be a great band name, but then I decided that should be the name of the album. The band name should be, "Why Jesus Came".
They're gonna be huge, believe on me.
"Do as I Say, Not as I Do", once again. God doesn't have to pay any penalty for creating AIDS because he's, well, god!

Thank you for your insightful comment describing Calvinism in a nutshell.
I have always been puzzled as to why the fundies completely ignore all of Jesus' teachings concerning the poor. The OT likewise contains extensive doctrine about how the poor are to be treated.
Many of the fundies (especially leaders of the Southern Baptists) profess to be Calvinists. As you said, no need to worry about the poor since they are going to hell anyway. Heck, the fact that they are poor means God hates them. The fact that we are rich means God loves us.
Funny how that works out that way.
Gotta love this "old time religion" that completely ignores Jesus and all of his teachings.
Check out Smirking Chimp or the Huffington Post. They recently had an article posted on "Jesusless" Christianity.
If god was so perfect wouldn't he get off his lazy ass and feed the hungry?
Seriously, if god was perfect world hunger wouldn't be a big issue.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
