He [GOD] intervenes on a daily basis to prevent earthquakes and floods. He heals the sick, and comforts the lonely. He motivates the suicidal and gives them a reason to rejoice. All these things are ungoing.
"ok, so can you provide some examples (3 will do) of Him "smiting" a person or persons in the last 2000 years...?"
I could do, but the post would probably be removed as it would be deemed by the politically correct liberal brigade as 'insensitive' or 'libellous'. You can be sure that there are many such people, however, who are struck down dead on the spot or inflicted with a horrible illness for mocking the Lord or testing his patience.

Given that the godster is all powerful...
OK, so "on a daily basis" he is healing the sick and preventing floods and earthquakes - but what about the sick he doesn't heal? What about the floods and earthquakes he doesn't prevent - some of them are real doozies?
Why doesn't he just prevent sickness? It would save a lot of trouble in the healing department.
If god is all powerful, he can prevent the mocking and the testing of patience...
Actually, I intervene every day, so I must be God. I stop giant Meteors from hitting the earth and destroying the planet every day. This is on-going.
I "religiously" eat at least twice a day. This is the sole reason that a giant Meteor has not struck the earth. My proof? Has a Meteor destroyed the earth? NO! QED!
If you don't believe me, say so, and I will go a day without eating. But it will be your funeral, moron!

He [GOD] intervenes on a daily basis to prevent earthquakes and floods.
And yet they still happen.
He heals the sick, and comforts the lonely.
O RLY? What about amputees and people who are suicidal?
He motivates the suicidal and gives them a reason to rejoice. All these things are ungoing.
And yet some still kill themselves.

Would you like some cheese with your whine?

This fundy's almost as easy to mock as LoneWolf.

Interesting. My 3 year old sister uses the same argument. "Yes I have a gold diamond studded tiara! Not right here and now, but I've got one. You can't see it. It's in a bank guarded by robots and I lost the key."
"He motivates the suicidal"
Ha, that doesn't read the way you think it reads.
I will perhaps not read your blog.
Come on, we just wanna hear how stupid you are. Cite 3 examples of God smiting people and them dying unexpectedly [And no fat guys having heart attacks]
Chrisians claim that a few years back, on one Easter day, God struck down Muslim Anwar Deedat for denying the Resurrection of Christ. Hilarious. But what does this guy mean by "all these things are UNgoing"? They've stopped moving, and are now going backward. That sounds about right. And he also seems to have no idea what being "politcally correct" actually means. Fail.
"He [GOD] intervenes on a daily basis to prevent earthquakes and floods. He heals the sick, and comforts the lonely. He motivates the suicidal and gives them a reason to rejoice. All these things are ungoing. "
But he can't stop iron chariots.
Wow, what a bunch of extremely generalized and non-testable "proof" you presented.
I smoke cigarrettes, and it keeps the world from completely exploding. Whats my proof? Has the world blown up yet? NOPE! So perhaps you should not only buy a pack for me and the world, but perhaps you should join me.. unless you are evil and want the world to blow up!
P.S. - I thought the world was too complex to have come about by natural means, therefore being Intellignetly designed. If thats so, then why does your all-powerful deity have to step in and stop in from falling the fuck apart?
"He [GOD] intervenes on a daily basis to prevent earthquakes and floods. He heals the sick, and comforts the lonely. He motivates the suicidal and gives them a reason to rejoice. All these things are ungoing."
Then why do all those things still happen?
"You can be sure that there are many such people, however, who are struck down dead on the spot or inflicted with a horrible illness for mocking the Lord or testing his patience."
Riiight .

Looks like FSTDT has a new hunting ground...
I've deliberately stood outside during a thunder storm and yelled, "If God exists, may he strike me down where I stand!" just to prove a point... I'll give you one guess as to whether or not I was hit by lightning and died that day.
Never been inflicted with any "pox"... in fact, I've actually been healthier since morphing into an atheist. Unlike you, however, I chalk such things up to coincidence.
You can be sure that there are many such people, however, who are struck down dead on the spot or inflicted with a horrible illness for mocking the Lord or testing his patience.
You can also be sure that there are many people who are struck down dead on the spot or inflicted with a horrible illness while praying to the Lord, too. All that proves is that people sometimes get struck down dead on the spot or inflicted with a horrible illness.

So you admit your evidence of smiting boils down to "People die, ergo, God is real, and pissed."
THE LIST:
1) Tashi Nahukura--in 1943 accused Jesus of having "lost his honor." Was vaporized when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, also erasing all records of his existence.
2) A bum I tried to witness to--he said, "God can suck my balls" and then was immediately struck by a bolt from the sky and reduced to ashes. This was in an alley and nobody saw it but me. But it's total proof of a vengeful God!!!!
3) Jimmy Hoffa--I'm pretty sure God's vengeance is what happened to him.
4) D.B. Cooper--ditto.
5) Judge Crater--ditto.
See?! Scared yet, athiests?!
California wouldn't be California without the earthquakes and fires. Every once in a while I wake up and ask myself, "I wonder when the big one's going to come..."
...and then I realize that there are no earthquakes on the Death Star.
>> He [GOD] intervenes on a daily basis to prevent earthquakes and floods.
And then he turns around and allows others. Nice God you've got there. Also, you seem to be implying that somehow you can tell when an earthquake that was supposed to happen didn't happen.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
