[at the end of a big 'repent before it's too late' rant]
To those who, still feel as though they have time to do "their thing" know this: if God can take a two year old's life via a stray bullet, if God can take men and women out of here via an earthquake, what do you think is stopping Him from taking you? His grace and patience, but understand this, God doesn't tolerate sin for too long.

Zoe - Not necessarily! He could be saying that God killed a two-year-old *to punish its parents!* Or as a test of faith. Or to show the world that gang violence is bad. Or maybe even $arbitraryReason!
And really, if "God doesn't tolerate sin for too long" ... why is it that Amsterdam hasn't imploded in on itself yet? How about the French Quarter of New Orleans?
The more people I see say this sort of thing, the less I want to worship whatever God it is that they do. He seems like a rather mentally ill sort of being. The rules are just too random and the punishments meted out too arbitrarily to be done by an entirely sane creature.
I think that the whole "God can take a two year old's life via a stray bullet" is a down play of gods might. Shouldn't he be able to strike a two year old with lightning? Even if the kid was in a submarine 200 meters under the sea?
Bob_Zimmerman, I really like the "why is it that Amsterdam hasn't imploded in on itself yet?".It makes me feel like I live in the most evil and immoral countries in the world.
But seriously, I think that God would have to do a better job and remove the entire Netherlands to stop the Duth from spreading the evil. It is not limited to Amsterdam.
So, you have solid, scientific evidence that that believers live substantially longer lives than atheists with similar life styles?
Yeah, didn't think so.
As the parent of a two-year old, I would like to say that this post made me want to leap through the Internet and jump out of James' computer screen for the sole purpose of ripping his throat out with my teeth. When the authorities ask me why I did this, I will simply respond with: God doesn't tolerate sin for too long.
what do you think is stopping Him from taking you?
The fact that he's a mythical construct who makes fictional decisions on a completely arbitrary basis, perhaps?
"God doesn't tolerate sin for too long."
Like that time Jesus ascended and then came back on a cloud within the lifetime of his followers to cleanse the world of sin?
Oh wait, that never happened.
God's tolerance is vast - sin has been around for all of history and he hasn't seen fit to take us out yet.
Between the vengeful god and the worship-my-torture god you've got shit for a god.
It's a **myth** - you can chose NOT to believe!
Y'mean GOD shot the two year old and killed the people with the Earthquake?
Thanks, god. Thanks for NOTHING, you stupid bastard. >:<
Fundies: Making god sound like a brutal vicious tyrant since forever.
If I followed any religion, it wouldn't be yours.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
