So atheists are free from hatred and therefore superior?
Care to show me where christians are being terrorized?
You ever hear of China? Seriously, please educate yourself if you think that Christians are not persecuted worldwide. I
personally know people who have been detained for holding Bible studies in China.
I recall a quote earlier where you mocked someone saying they worship a "fairy in the sky." And yet, you believe that matter is eternal and self-exisiting, even though all logic and science attest to that being impossible.
You just can't accept that God created you. It takes too much to admit that, on your own, you are no better than anyone else, and you need God to get out of your situation.
It's easy to say you don't see God, when you're holding your hands over your eyes. It's easy to be arrogant and prideful and laugh in God's face. But don't think for a second that you can do that for any reason beyond him giving you that choice, because he loves you enough to give you free will. Free to love him, or free to hate him. We all make that choice, and people like you and I are evident to that.
It is hard to be humble, to take a narrow path. Your mockery and dedication to anti-God hatred will never change the fact that God created you, and will hold you accountable for your life. Frightening? Perhaps, but your emotions and objections are inconsequential in light of this fact.
You might have what you think is a good reason to hate God. Maybe you lost someone you loved, or someone hurt you, but this is not God's fault. He wants more than anything to help heal these hurts, and he gives you opportunity after opportunity to turn to him. The Bible says that God is patient, wishing for no one to come to destruction... and I know for a fact that is true. Please, don't waste these opportunities, or I'm afraid, in time you will regret it.
Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more.
