So then God has the attitude of a five year old brat.

Who has the attitude of a 5 year old brat??? Is this like "My dad can beat up your dad?" Infact, that's kind of what every religious banter is,isn't it?

I think it's very sad and scary when any person decides that something is absolutely NOT possible.

Just sayin' is all

All 'religion' is a con for that matter! The concept of right & wrong is instilled in us from birth. Only the weak need the trappings and bullshit found with-in the parameteres of an edifice built to glorify man! Just follow the $$$$. The 'top dogs' of EVERY religion live in splendor while a vast majority of their congregation live hand to mouth or worse.Spiritual leaders. RIIIIIGHT!

The very 'ONE' that they purport to represent lived a life of poverty, avoiding all the trappings of wealth and home was wherever he was at the time he needed to rest! Show me in your bible where it states that 'the Creator' asked for money from anyone to support anything or build a church to honor himself!

Not again...

Since your bitching out Christianity under the organized relgion is a con thread, could you please apply your broad strokes to all the other?

As well, does that mean you support unorganized religion?

Where, exactly am I "bitching out Christianity"?

I simply stated that Organized Religions and those who ask for money to support same are charlatans. It does not cost anything-$$$- to form/have/maintain a belief in a higher-power, have a true sense of spirituality and live accordingly.

Sure it costs money. Churches don't run for free. The ministries that choose to go on tv don't get air time donated to them. Some have been a scam such as Jim Baker, but that doesn't mean they are automatically a scam.

Tell me something I dont already know.

But anyways, peaple wont listen to what you're saying. Let fools be fools, it doesn't hurt anyone if they live in their delusions. But dont ever, ever let them push their religious crap on you.

Sure they will, if you have an open and mature discussion people will listen. If you're arrogant and insulting, well you'll just get flipped off.

IMO, religion is a man-made institution designed to guilt people into submission!

Hey, I can agree with you when you say that it's odd for someone to decide that something is absolutely not possible, but that doesn't detract that if what you said earlier is indeed true(assuming the confirmed existence of God), then God indeed acts like a five year old. Which is completely unbefitting in my opinion.

So when your parents punish you for acting like a little fuckhead, does that mean they act like a five year old?

Fail.

I'm talking about the whole "I deny God" so then God turns around and says: "Well I deny you". That sounds like shit I use to hear on the playground. Way to miss that, dude.

Yes, and you should pick up a KJ version of the Bible and eventually you will want to have discussions and brotherhood so to speak with like minded folks. Most importantly, work it out for yourself

Wow you're a genius. You call God a five year old because of something you saw on a forum. Then use the term "fail". I think we know who our five year old is.

If you are talking about conviction. I'm talking about feelings and manipulation. I've been guilty, not guilty, felt guilty and given guilt-trips to manipulate others to feel guilty (I'm not bragging ). By LAW, yes you are right but in regards to human nature I disagree with you.
