[quote:Anonymous Coward 32478829:MV8yMTQxMTc1XzM2MTYwNjkzX0YxOEI4NEJD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 20657814:MV8yMTQxMTc1XzM2MTU5OTAzXzExQkQ0RDky] I would like to ask the Christians here another question which I am going to assume that NONE of you will answer. If you had a child that you loved every much, imagine that this child grew up and decided to reject you. You could never understand why because you had literally given everything to this child. But this child turned from you and didn't want to be in your life. ***************************************************** THIS LINE OF REASONING FALLS APART JUST AFTER THE 2ND SECTION ABOVE. AT THIS POINT, GOD WANTED TO COMPLETELY DESTROY HIS CREATION BECAUSE THEIR HEARTS WERE ONLY ON EVIL CONTINUOUSLY. BUT HE SPARED A REMNANT FOR THE SAKE OF ONE MAN.....NAMELY NOAH. BECAUSE HE SPARED A REMNANT.....HE THEN HAD TO PUT ON FLESH AND GO DIE FOR HIS CREATION.....TAKING THE PUNISHMENT OF THE WORLD UPON HIMSELF.....THE ONLY SUITABLE AND ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE.....THE SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD. SO IN YOUR FATHER EXAMPLE......THE FATHER WOULD NOT DO ALL THOSE BAD THINGS THAT YOU MENTIONED.....BUT WOULD ACTUALLY GO OUT AND DIE FOR HIS SON. GOD HAS OFFERED PEOPLE A FREE GIFT......BUT WILL NOT FORCE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT IT. ONCE PEOPLE ARE CONNECTED WITH GOD THROUGH CHRIST......THEY GREATLY LOVE HIM.....IT IS A NATURAL OCCURENCE OF THEIR OWN CHOOSING. GOD DOES NOT FORCE PEOPLE TO LOVE HIM.....NOR DOES HE REQUIRE IT. RATHER......HE DEMONSTRATED HIS LOVE FOR HIS CREATION.....BY HUMBLING HIMSELF.....PUTTING ON FLESH.....TO GO TO THE CROSS.....A TERRIBLE AND CRUEL FORM OF ROMAN PUNISHMENT. ******************************************************** Now, imagine that you could somehow kidnap this child and lock him away in your basement. You knew you would never be caught. You loved your child and you wanted to have a relationship with him. So you locked him up and you tried really hard to get along with him. Imagine that he was very angry at you for locking him up. So he cussed at you and he hated you more than before. So then you decide that you will starve him. Maybe if he was really hungry, he would love you. It didn't work, so then you tried to beat him with some boards, but that didn't work either. You tried to burn him, stab him, kick him in the chins, and nothing worked. He hated you more and more. Now imagine you could go on doing this for the rest of this kid's life. No one would ever catch you so you could do as you pleased. So you decided to just torture and torment your son for the rest of his life. He never did love you or appreciate you but this act gave YOU pleasure. Now, remembering that this is your beloved child, what would a normal person think of someone who did this? That is the question I would like you to answer. Would you think this person was justified to do what they did? Now compare this to God. God wants us to love him. Some of us who have never felt or seen God can't imagine a God up there somewhere when we see little children who are raped and murdered and this God is somewhere up there watching apparently. God does nothing to end our suffering down here and often innocent people suffer the most. But this God (assuming the Xian God is the correct one) wants us to love him. So instead of just showing himself to all of us unbelievers, he decides he will wait until we are face to face with him, and then he will throw us in flames forever and ever. Does this honestly sound OK with you? If it does, may I suggest you have your heart checked...not that there would actually be a heart there. You are a cold and evil human being if you think that this is the character of God. And, unfortunately, this is the God most of you love. If not, fill me in on your version of God. Any comments???

Here is my quick understanding of the main points of your religion. If i am wrong do not just say that i am an idiot, please back up your response with a logical argument from your own understanding NOT SCRIPTURE!
God loves us. God banishes Satan to live on the same planet as us and gives him the ability to corrupt us and drag us to hell. God sacrifices himself so that if you believe in him and do what it says in a book that was written by men you will be spared and satan will not get you. God can only save less than 35% of his creations. It doesnt matter how good of a person you are, if you dont believe in the holy book, you will burn in hell for eternity. But he loves us all....
