i think it's amazing how christians love to talk about the mercy
and
love of god. here's my question. if god decides to be wrathful
toward his creation because of certain behaviors (sins) and then
decides to turn around and be "merciful and forgiving" how does
that
make him so great? i think it just makes him a psycho.
God's mercy lies in the fact that everyone is deserving of His wrath
on
Earth and eternal punishment after death. He shows His mercy by
being
kind
to some people, even though they deserve the opposite.

yeah, but who says he needs to be so vengeful and full of wrath in the
first place? what amount of sinning in this life can possibly be
deserving of a sentence of conscious torment that never ends?
One sin is all that is required for eternal damnation.
Oh really? and it is hard to know whether my sin will get me eternal
damnation
and my friend, just by a hair's breadth of doing a little more good than
me,
gets to live in heaven for eternity.
What gross rubbish you people allow yourselved to follow.
Your god in heaven makes a decision between me and him, one burns in hell
forever the other sits on his right hand. The good and the bad HAVE to
meet
in the middle somewhere, so your god sends one to hell on one side of the
dividing line and other goes to heaven!!!!!!
Heaven and hell are primitive nonsense

There you go again spamming our pristine religious NGs with atheist
clap-trap. Post atheism to atheist NGs, and Christian stuff to our Christian
NGs, and learn to tell the difference already. Sheeeeeesh!!!!!!!
Nobody is deserving of wrath for being the way God made them. God is deserving of our
wrath for punishing us for his failures.
