Why haven't you accepted Jesus and ask God to fill you with His spiri
The LORD is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and wrath. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and furiously destroys his enemies! The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet. At his command the oceans and rivers dry up, the lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade, and the green forests of Lebanon wilt. In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed. Who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive his burning fury? His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence. The LORD is good. When trouble comes, he is a strong refuge. And he knows everyone who trusts in him. But he sweeps away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He pursues his foes into the darkness of night. (Nahum 1:2-8 NLT)
I claim this scripture is psychotic regardless of context. There are literally thousands of such psychotic passages in your book.
Now who would write psychotic passages in a book?
That's right... a psychopath!
Who writesThe point is your omnipotent omniscient omnipresent got can't stop the suffering of little children, has never intervened for the poor and starving.
Why?
According to you because they don't believe as you do.
They may never have heard of a god or a bible but the likes of your god who can do so much for you won't lift a finger.
What a ridiculous hate filled psychotic little god!
That has to rate as the most twisted reasoning I have seen! offered up by a religious site of course!
Learn something that has at least a sense of honesty and cohesion....this is childish rot!
The first time I heard about God, it wasnt a priority to me to get saved or to take salvation seriously. I was too consumed in my sinful lifestyle to really want to know. It took me going down to the lowest point in my life before I decided to seek God.
Do you people not see... its not God destroying us, but MAN in his SIN hurting other man? God gave us free will. Its not God that created the punishment system, MAN did. In God's eyes, sin is sin, whether it be murder or even lying. Its all the same to him, unlike the US goverment and their punishment system. Its not God going around killing innocent children or raping them, etc. MAN did and still is.
Please dont argue with me, Im not trying to argue. I honestly dont think you should force this onto anyone, you have to find it in yourself. Im not trying to hate on anyone, because I didnt know a lot of this myself until the Holy Spirit gave me understanding of His word
It is hard to save someone who thinks they have it all, but like my pastor taught me, just pray for that person, even if you have to pray to make them miserable enough to seek out God.Go for it! Give us your best shot!
Or would you prefer to torture us with scripture you neither understand or observe yourself?Who, me?
You can actually learn a lot from The Bible! Have you actualy read it? You seem like youre pretty intelligent, you should seriously try to read some of it... Im not going to throw scriptures around because I dont think you can really get the true meaning behind it unless you actually get saved and then 'read' The Bible . (And I havent read it all myself)
I honestly dont know what to say to someone who thinks like you though... But its like I said, you cant really force God onto someone, they have to believe themselves and I know you cant force someone to do that.
I just think you should be a little more open minded about God though, maybe visit a church every now and then and see... maybe try praying for salvation. You never know....Nothing very sinful about my life other than a taste for good chocolate.
No thanks!
I have a life filled with love and joy, I won't be throwing it away for the promise of spending an eternity with a lot of religionists because a bronze aged myth told me to..
Now try the nasty prayer bit. Give it your best shot.Well Im sorry you feel that way
Like I said, its hard to save someone who believe their fine with what they have, but if youre really happy, then you are very blessed. You never know what else God may have in store for you.
What more could you possible lose that you havent already lost to mass media programming or chemical additives in your food? hehe. You actually wont be throwing your life away. Youll have that love and joy, and more! Its really not people trying to brainwash you or making you sit and spend 23 hours of your life in church 24/7. It will actually give you a greater sense of thinking and wanting to live your life.
Its your choice!! But just remember that God may be a jealous God, but He is merciful. If you ever get to a point in your life and you dont know where to go, turn to God He will forgive you.
I hope you have a great day!I have not had a life without any problems, nor did I expect one. Fortunately your god doesn't have anything in store for me, my life is what I make it.
Read up on your bible, you will find the hate filled ramblings of a psychopath. If you can't find 10,000 of them you are not even trying.
Read them with an open mind, then read what a psychopath is.
All done?
Welcome to the real world.Have you read it all? Give me 5 'hate filled ramblings'
It is not hate filled and if you claim it to be so, then you have not read it at all; Yes, God has punished nations but it is because they have turned away from Him and forsaken Him.
And if people are willing to take the 'real world' after what is becoming of it over God, then God sure does have a reason to be mad lol!
Lol, well I dont know what you mean by the nasty prayer bit, Im not the OP if you think I am!!!
But one more thing I read in the Bible though, about your comment about nothing sinful in your life
Romans 3:10 -"There is none righteous, no not one"
We are all born sinners, thats why people go to be saved. The heart is very deceitful, you may think youre good but without God youre not ....I apologise for mistaking you for the OP.
I live with little children. You may think they are born sinners, I know what they are. They are bloody marvellous that is what they are!Lol! Its ok, I was wondering why you were being so hostile when I havent said one rude thing
Im not trying to say the little children are devilish or anything, dont think that! Everyone is just born a sinner.
And I know what you mean My little man just turned one and hes the most amazing thing everGod is going to be more than pissed about more than just the posters on here..
How am I setting people up? Im not on TV telling people they NEED to do this. I thought I was on a Religion forum where not even a 10th of the population of America is on. And I never held myself on higher grounds than anyone else on here. I know Im not perfect and I never once said IM having eternal life, because I make mistakes too. Its up to God to judge and decide when I die.
I told you it was a choice you have to make. I never forced you to sit down and read your Bible or no supper for you.
I just wanted to help get the word of God out to someone who I felt needed it
If you dont wanna read it, you can just easily scroll away. But Im seriously only trying to help Stop being so hostile. You were going on about being open minded, how come youre not?Who YOU felt needed it? And, who are you to judge the needing of your god?
So, if we felt YOU needed an education so that you can begin thinking for yourself to understand the world around you rather than believing in magic and myth, would you be accepting that education?
HoneyKisses, Welcome to Hubpages. I am enjoying reading your posts.
Honeykisses-
Just so you know he never thought you were the OP he's talked/commented to me many, many times. If you would read some of his posts in the forums you'd know he went to some sorta of church before for a time period. Also that up to now his comments toward Christian beliefs remain the same . He's just messing with you.
Also the nasty prayer comment is because you said>>
" just pray for that person, even if you have to pray to make them miserable enough to seek out God."
Yet I don't agree with praying for someone to be miserable.
Find a scripture that backs that up.
I am glad you have already accepted Jesus as your Lord- the most important step in your life.
God bless you!Im new here
I havent been around much here yet lol.
And its ok, I just want to help. If anything, this is just helping me prepare for outreaches to stubborn people. Lol!
Thank you, God bless you too!
You need to know the difference between gullible fools and ego I reckon. I have what is known as self worth. I can rely on myself, take the blame for my own actions and live my life without having to be such a coward that I need a proxy to take the wrap.
I have a healthy ego, you have a crutch.
No bronze aged myth runs anybody's lives!
Well, you better help me with that. My days are all pretty much without any of the sort of crud your god seems so fond of doing.
I am around children a lot. My children, and their children, none of them religious, all of them doing well and caring for each other.
You must be thinking of my christian neighbors!Of course it's not guaranteed!
I don't need to count my blessings, I engineer them. I decided to live with my family when I retired. I decide to see them before and after school. I decide to make up bedtime stories for them and enjoy their love.
I raced motorcycles and cars and have lived to the full and on the edge all my life....except for the born again christian period where I was as delusional and megalomanic as any of the christians here are.) .)
I could be hit by a truck in the next five minutes, but if I do it ain't gonna be because of some psychotic god, it will be because I am a dumb ass and crossed against the lights.
Informed you mean.
I did religion in one end and out the other, If you want to discuss the pros and cons of belief, I can go page for page with you in Hebrew Greek or English.
If you want to know why a single psychotic word found it's way in to the bible just ask.
People of any period do not write psychotic controlling threatening scripture unless they are psychotic. I claim the bible is a pile of psychotic nonsense, and that the only source of psychotic nonsense is a psychotic author.
Now address the issue or refute it!I don't care for the covert friendliness myself.
"We are all born sinners, thats why people go to be saved. The heart is very deceitful, you may think youre good but without God youre not"
Your words I believe, and you know what you can do with them?
Insulting.
Why not address the issue of psychosis?If you believe that about yourself, then go ahead. DId you see me type that?
""Why haven't you opened your mind and outgrown living your life for a ridiculous myth?""
I just saw your first post in this topic and all your other ones and knew you didnt have Jesus in your life and wanted to help. Never once did I think you were a 'poor sod who is going to rot in hell' or else I would have just typed that in my very first post and left it at that 2 hours ago.
And also, people who arent of age of understanding, like babies and little children dont go to hellI dont know why youre getting so upset about this. Im just helping in a way my religion has taught me. The last thing in my mind is 'this man is going to hell'. The first thing I thought was I wanted to share my views of what I learned with him and maybe he will see a little differently. If you dont like what I say, then just turn away from it
DId I not say it was your choice from the very beginning? But you kept going on...
Not a very good side step.
I asked you to address the psychotic scripture I explained to you, and you twist it off to say I am being insulting to you. I did no such thing, I am trying to have a conversation where you offer me an explanation to a perfectly honest question about what I read to be psychotic scripture.I didnt see a psychotic scripture...? which one?
Im trying to have a conversation too but Im sitting here getting attacked! What am I supposed to do? Lol... ? Are you talking about the one where I said somethin about being good? I reposted it under that and worded it so that I could try to NOT offend you
Because I wasnt trying to. Im not trying to side step or I would have turned off my computer and go to sleep by now Are you talking about this???
Informed you mean.
I did religion in one end and out the other, If you want to discuss the pros and cons of belief, I can go page for page with you in Hebrew Greek or English.

Now address the issue or refute it!
If you look at it from a psychotic point of veiw, its going to seem psychotic. The only thing I can say to that is have faith and believe. I dont see anything threatening or controlling about it. God gave us free will to do as we please. But the price of sin is death.
The only thing that may seem controlling that I see in the Bible is the Ten Commandments.
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'
SIX: 'You shall not murder.'
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.' Like I said earlier, its hard to help someone who believes they already have it all.
But is that not how everyone should already be living their life? Along with praising God? Why do people consider that controlling or being delusional by following that?
In all honesty, dont you think the world would be a better place if everyone followed? No one is asking anyone to throw their life away, but to cleanse your body of the sin and live by the commandments and live for GodIm going for now, I hope thats a decent answer.
Ill keep praying for people to find their peace with God God bless you.Okay, I couldnt sleep for this
! Those are actually from the Old Testament which the law of was given to the children of Israel only And notice how those verses are from newer translations? The more the Bible is translated, it slowly looses its original meaning. For English its best to read them from a King James version, I heard.
The Old Testament went out of effect when Jesus Christ died.
Here is some verses from the New Testament
Matthew 6:19 - Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 19:16 - And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Um, my point Ive been trying to make is the same Ive been tryin to make all along lol! BUT have you not read up in history classes of other nations and countries who have had similar punishments? Ex. Assyrians, Mesopotamians.
Is that all youre holding on too, these commandments from the old scriptures? There were not tortures from a 'psychopathic' god. It was considered justice to the ancient world and actually a progressive step to help protect women and give them rights. The OT also showed how violent the world was, and it shows the cruelty of the devil and the righteousness of God's wrath to those that denied Him. If the New Testament remained the same, thats a different story but it does not apply to us.
There are a bunch of quotes and verses you can find in the Bible to twist God around to look like a monster. To even truly understand the Bible, you have to have a close relationship with the creator Even Im still working on that
Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night
But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
Kill Followers of Other Religions.
1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden. When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death. (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)
Death for Blasphemy
One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father got into a fight with one of the Israelite men. During the fight, this son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the LORD's name. So the man was brought to Moses for judgment. His mother's name was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. They put the man in custody until the LORD's will in the matter should become clear. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard him to lay their hands on his head. Then let the entire community stone him to death. Say to the people of Israel: Those who blaspheme God will suffer the consequences of their guilt and be punished. Anyone who blasphemes the LORD's name must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel. Any Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the LORD's name will surely die. (Leviticus 24:10-16 NLT)
Kill False Prophets
1) Suppose there are prophets among you, or those who have dreams about the future, and they promise you signs or miracles, and the predicted signs or miracles take place. If the prophets then say, 'Come, let us worship the gods of foreign nations,' do not listen to them. The LORD your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and soul. Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him. The false prophets or dreamers who try to lead you astray must be put to death, for they encourage rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery in the land of Egypt. Since they try to keep you from following the LORD your God, you must execute them to remove the evil from among you. (Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT)
I suppose this is not psychotic?
In our next run through we can do the NT lies if you like.There is no love from the god entity.
Love is not conditional, love does not say "You can be loved ....if."
That is not love.
All biblical "love" is dependant on doing something for the one offering the "love" conditionally.
As far as the psychotic verses are concerned it is not relevant who a god was talking to or for what reason or when, it is the intent and threats in the text that are psychotic.
evilbible.com is cheating isn't it? I used to quote from one of my many bibles, but I don't bother as much these days, as I am talking mostly to the ignorant by choice it is quick and easy as a source.
Anyway, I don't have any of my library with ne at this time as I got flooded out and had to take my books to my son's house."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
God gave his only son so sinners born today can have a chance to repent for whatever sins they may have done. He didnt say He would love you IF you repented, God said He loves us so hes giving us a chance to repent. If thats not love, I dont know what is.
I mentioned evilbible because you said those verses were quoted unabridged by you. And Im glad Im not ignorant, or I wouldnt have all this knowledge God has blessed me with thank you Lord.Even if the ridiculous story were true, which it is not, jesus and god already knew he would not die, and be resurrected, so no sacrifice there!
I was not born 2,000 years ago, so he certainly didn't do anything for me.
The biblical story is crazy.
A god made himself, came back as his own son then killed himself because the humans he made in his own image were duds. What a lunatic!
Crazy stuff! I think they both pretty much say the same thing
Just the baptism part.. I had notes on it somewhere
John 3:5 - Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
John 3:15 - "that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life"
From what Ive been taught, you need to repent for your sins, and confess the Lord Jesus as your saviour and believe. Then just as Jesus had a water baptism, you have a water baptism as well. And not just a sprinkle with holy water. Jesus was actually sumerged in water.
Baptism signifies you dying to your old life, and being born again to your new life. I believe its just optional to get baptized, but you do it in front of people, so its like your announcing your faith in God to everyone unless one is born of water
Its all in the Bible Repent, get saved, believe, maybe get baptized.
It was god's fault he had only one begotten son. I'll bet there were plenty of 13 year old virgins he could have knocked up without their consent if he so chose.
But what's the big deal anyway, he easily brought him back to life, didn't he? How is it a big sacrifice to give up one's bastard child if a deity can simply make him alive again?
I have actually learned a lot by this thread
hehe. We may just never truly understand GodWhat on earth makes you think you can convince any one of anything if it is all in your head? Why bother?
I'm sorry you need to insist others accept your personal testimony which exists only for you and I pity you. It causes all sorts of arguments.If you say so! Lol I havent been convincing anyone to do anything, Im just spreading the word
and conversing with earnesthub. But please, dont pity me, Im great! <3
I know people will listen and some wont. Its a fact of life, just like every other thing you teach. Im not insisting people read it, its simply put, if you wanna read it, read it, if you dont wanna, dont!Ask all the other people who are getting saved daily. Its not just coming from my head only apparently! And I didnt deny it. I just said, we may never truly know God.. How can you call me insane when I just started this Hub thing today and have ben posting about it. Its a conversation and to me is realy interesting, but I dont consider myself insane
I dont have a mental jacket on me or padded walls haha
You cant really expect me to explain it or I would But Ive made a personal choice to live my life for God.
Of course arguments will arise from this, but where has argument not? No offense to anyone but if I were gay and said it to people, would that not cause an argument? If I said I smoked pot would that not cause an argument? What if I made a video of myself half naked on the internet and was ok with it even though Im married, would that not cause an argument as well?
I never did any of that.. but everything causes an argument! Just saying! But Id rather be living for God than the way I was before Thats just my veiw!No seeing an answer to my question. You don't understand it, cannot explain it, but need to spread it and start an argument? But - that is OK because other things cause arguments as well. Gotcha.
I actually had the answer in my first ever post here if you had read
But how can you explain such a controversial topic with someone who doesnt want to undestand? My point in saying the argument bit is to say that you, saying my beliefs are causing conflict is pointless, because there are other issues that are always going to be addressed as well. Im not trying to start an argument. Im letting others know that my God is a great and merciful God and if you want to argue from it, then be my guest. Its not hurting me, there are people out that that do wish to know, believe it or not. And others will be against it, such as every other issue these days.
If I were the only person spewing such words from my mouth, then that would be a different story. Those people who have been saved and sought Christ have found it in their hearts to seek God, and they have found him. I once was a non believer, I know I thought the same as you did before I decided to try giving my trust to God.
If someone doesnt want to know God, then they have a hardend heart. They most likely never will accept Christ unless maybe something happens later on in life to cause a change of heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 - "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Gotcha
TO SUMMARIZE - As many times as Ive stated before, its a personal choice that one has to make for themselves! They have to WANT to know God, from the very depths of their heart before they will really believe.
You cant force anyone to believe, its their choice, but by spreading the word, all people (At least, this is what IM doing) are doing is trying to tell you that God is out there to help you if you want it. You just have to accept it.
If they dont want too, theres nothing you can do but pray! I seriously mentioned this a lot
You might as well. It fits everything youve pointed out to me.
Well, it is called evilbible!
Ever compared the bible and the quoran?
The Quoran has several thousand more psychotic threats than the bible, but a few thousand either way is not many of the 36,000 or so.Nope, I havent read one before actually
But Ive heard they are ver similarThe process is psychotic, plain and simple.
Good for you!
I am so much GREATER than whatever this biblical god thing is!
I have one son whom I love so profoundly that I would die, in a New York moment, to save his life!!!!!
I'll be damned if I'd let HIM suffer and die to save the lives of any one of you or all of humanity combined!
NOW THAT'S LOVE!....that this biblical, fairytale god thing isn't capable of!
This biblical god thing PROVED, too may times to count, in the fairytales told in bible, that he isn't capable of "love," by murdering tens-of-thousands of his creations while experiencing jealous rage! Even let US kill his alledged son! Is this god thing insane?
Then? HE KILLED 'EM ALL BUT FEW AND ALL BUT A FEW OF EVERY OTHER EARTHLY LIFE...by drowning!....are you all nuts? Why would any sane human being want to spend eternity worshipping this psychotic, murderous, megalomaniac?
If you believe in this weirdo, psychotic biblical god thing, logic would dictate that you MUST BE as wierd as "it is!!!"
But when ya break it down, the whole damned human species is WEIRD!!
See what a a fresh, hot cuppa caffeine does to me!:
I gotta get another cup!

Well, God did create man to his image. "Why haven't you accepted Jesus and ask God to fill you with His spirit?"
Imaginary friends are not a good sign...Hi there, para! Haven't seen you around in a while!
Life's adventures continues; thus my not being around.
It is for those that have not-
So if you have why even bother complaining that I ask something that doesn't pertain to you.
Jehovah witnesses are different than Following Christ/ Christians.
God Bless you.
I dunno, it doesn't worry me if a few people have a different sexuality than me, I don't think the world will be short of people as a consequence.
No, maybe not.
Im not too sure how I feel about it though. But it does bug me when Im at a drive thru and I respond "Thank you ma'am" after getting my total, and I pull up to the window and its a man wearing lip gloss and a Lady Gaga - Born This Way bracelet.What's even worse is when the guy looks more feminine than the women working there!
Ya get used to it.
I lived in down-town Melbourne for 22 years. Every colour, every language every religion, every sex.
In time you will recognise they're all pretty much OK.Psh, well I do. Its the first thing I have to see when I first look at that person.
!
Same for females too. Dont spend all that time getting ready and forget you have a rear end, please.I know a few women who would like to forget about their rear ends.
If you want to think that then Ill humor you, so... yeah sure
Wow MC I think that is about as hot as I've seen you get about any subject.
Well, I see a lot better rationale than your detractors.
I am very pleased to see others who are relaxed about different people.
If we can work it into a real art form we may bring world peace!Right on, my friend. Some of my dearest and most sincere friends are people who are VERY different from me, in almost every area of life. I have friends who are gay, friends in don't believe in any god, friends who believe in many, straight friends who think marriage is a crock, friends to whom I'm politically a polar opposite. BUT, they are my friends and I love them. No matter what. And, that acceptance and consistent love is what makes peace (whether it be in my life, or in the world at large).
Whew. I think I need another cup of coffee if this is what the forums have to throw our way today...lolIf all Christians were like you there would be not problems at all
You are correct! Thor is my favorite of all the gods, except for Moe, of course!
