If someone has faith in their god as being an all powerful all knowing ominipitent being. Why would that person feel the need to defend him/her?? Can that all powerful god not speak for nor defend him/her self?? I've actuall read answers scolding people for mocking God. Yet thousands of people a day mock God and nothing happens to them.

Fear. If more people learned how to quench their fear of words, we'd be that much closer to world peace. When people can agree to disagree, they are demonstrating the level of emotional maturity that would make any diety proud of it's creation.
Peace!

Because GOD is HOLY...........that's why we pick up pennies............His name should not be walked upon.
He does not need defending....He can handle his own......but I will tell of His everlasting love for us that an old rugged cross made the difference. So much so that His death/name should not be mocked.
Payday does not always come at once. But it does come. Do not envy a fool. Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap.

I hate my God being compared to other deities.My God is the only God.You can mock Him all you want but watch out for the day He mocks you.I doubt if you will survive.Nothing is happening to them YET!But the day of reckoning for their mocking and disbelief and false teachings is coming sooner than they think.What a glorious day it will be.

It isn't to defend the Deity.
It is taken as a personal affront.
People take it personally.
You attack their God, you attack them.
You attack their church ,you attack them.
Try telling a Catholic that his church is a false religion or is the biggest cult to ever come ac cross the face of the earth and see what happens to you.
That is if you have the hoot-spa to do it to their face in a bar where you will not get away with it.

Because for some people, their God is their life. They dont like their lifestyle mocked or mistreated when they think its better than any other lifestyle.
Its a hit to the heart.

Some folks take it personally, and react as if you'd just insulted their mother.
The worst about this are the Muslims. Remember how they over reacted when some Dutch newspaper printed a series of cartoons about their precious Muhammed?

Because peoples beliefs are very dear to them, very close to the heart. It's like having a stranger walk into your home and start telling you how you should arrange your furniture.
I take offense to Catholic bashers who have to resort to lies and have to re-write history to prove THEIR point. (like Dan Brown), or JW's, or SDA.s.
Every day I see the cults in here making stupid claims against my beliefs, they have not one shred of evidence to support their hateful lies, like statue worship, Mary worship, the church teaches that all non-Catholics are going to hell, Constantine started the Church, and a whole lot more nonsense.
A lot of people say they believe that the truth, the way, the life is their Lord Jesus... but they will not research to find the truth...only what they've been told in bigotry.
If Jesus is the "truth" the way and the life...we cannot use anything that is false or rumored. That would be participating with Satan. That is bearing false witness to one's neighbor. Judgment is upon them when they break this great commandment.
There are many groups that prey on the insecure. They slap a bible in their hands, tell them that they are "saved" so that they can judge others, teach them a few lines of scripture to quote, and get them going to get members.
Anyone can "Call" Jesus Lord...but if you deny what he established out of his discipleship, the "Apostles" (It is in all four Gospels), to who he promised to be "with until the ends of the earth, you deny him as Lord. Check it out. It is very serious. You don't want to be guilty of that blasphemy.
Never deny any truth. All truth is in Christ.
The Christian Taliban (Fundamentalists and Bible Thumpers) come here because they need us to escape their captivity and don’t know how to do it.
As Catholics, we do not pick the scriptures and separate the verses on line at a time. They were not written that way with little numbers before each verse so that they can be taken out of context to prove their agenda. But unfortunately...many use them to support their learned bigotries and distort their meaning.
Anyone can take scriptural passages and bend them into a way which esteems oneself. This is grave error. Unfortunately, it is the training of a great deal of bible thumpers. As Catholics, we don't manipulate God's word that way.
If one calls himself a Christian, one must look for the whole truth and embrace it...since all truth is in Christ... and when did Jesus say that he would abandon us before the "ends of the earth"??? NEVER, that’s when.

Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
