HOW GREAT IS YOUR GOD ?
I've been watching, and I haven’t heard anyone else say this yet.
I’ve been waiting.
So, . . . I guess, I will just go ahead and ask.
How great is your god, really?
How great is a god who must rely on mindless followers to kill women and children?
How great is a god who must rely on adolescent suicide bombers to see his wrath expressed?
How great is a god who apparently thirsts for the blood of women and children?
How great is a god who is pleased by followers marching in the streets chanting “Death!” to this country, or to that country? “Death!” “Death!” “Death!”
How great is a god who is glorified by someone sawing off the head of a helpless prisoner?
How great do the followers of such a god really believe their god is, if they hide among women, and fire from behind children, and wear no uniforms, and build schools and houses over their bunkers and ammo dumps?
I have heard it said; “Submit, Convert, or Die” is the gospel invitation of such a god.
Somewhere, I guess, I am missing the appeal of this.
I mean, If I Convert, aren’t I supposed to strap a bomb onto myself and Die anyway? -killing as many women and children who don’t Submit as possible?
Where is the appeal?
Okay, okay, once I Convert and blow myself up, - then I get celestial virgins forever. Got it.
(But isn’t that very mutually exclusive; -my virgins forever?)
That, then, is based completely on my faith in the delivery of those goods, in the future, by my god, for ME (and tough luck for those women and children I kill when I die a martyr, right?)
Okay, I guess that brings us back to starting over at the top, doesn’t it?
(return to first question).

Sounds like theyre worshipping the God of War than any God... and I mean ANY that would suggest love, compassion, and respect, as a solution.
I've always been appalled by the celestial virgin thing! So heaven... for them is (excuse the term) popping cherries for eternity? I mean, do you toss away your virgin once you've done her so to speak?
Obviously "doing" virgins is more about having an "object" to toy with then anything having to do with something truly substantial or deep. Sorry but if sex is heaven... then why are there so many issues, problems, and neurotic disorders wrapped around it.
Its not like youre exactly going to heaven to "love and respect" women in general... no... its about having untouched poonani.... Like you said women and children are objects to these people. Disposable objects!
this god is not my God
