Do you get mad when someone talks about God?

Question

Jehova God in Heaven

Answer 1

I dont get mad i just tune out.
I'm not going to waste my time getting mad about it, i dont believe in god and that is my choice but i still allow others to believe without challenging their opinions.

Answer 2

I have no reason to mad about that. It's good for people to have a spiritual conection. God gives people hope and a reason to look to the future. However, when people use God in a negative way to put others down that does frustrate me. Everyone has the right to believe in whatever they want to not in what someone else wants them to. God is forgiving and therefore so should his people be. But as long as people or only positive there's no reason to disapprove.

Answer 3

I don't get mad easily about suchs things. However, I feel sorry for those who see whatever things that happens in their life as "an act of God". I once heard a Christian who said that "God sent tsunamis to South East Asia in 2004 because people have been living lives of sins". A lot of Muslims in Malaysia blame their poor conditions on God, saying that it is God's decision that they remain poor. People are still using God as an excuse instead of confronting reality. It is times like these that make me mad. God, as it seems, has become something that limits people's potential.

Answer 4

Yeah, and I wish you would stop it right now. You are making me so mad I may have to spit nails. You are making me really, really mad so stop it.
You heard me, stop it now, right now.
You better stop or else.
I'll give you just two hundred years to shut up and stop talking about God (jehova, god in heaven). So stop it, right now.
Is that what you mean?

Answer 5

Why the question? Who then created us and the universe. Why then must we die? Why is it that when we die, we cannot bring what we have harvested in this world? We believe in what we see with our eyes, do you believe there are beings which we cannot see with our eyes but we can feel with our instinct. We are created with limitations - we can only see with the eyes and we are already forgetting the creator. God is God. Whether you are white, black, yellow or brown skin, he is still the creator. He is the greatest. Look at the marvel of the universe, day and night, rain and shine- which human can create all that we have around us?

Answer 6

not really...each to their own. I do get annoyed with my son talking about God. He is 5 and learning about it at pre-school. He's coming home with a lot of mixed up crap. When it rains thats god crying. Only mean people don't believe in God...crap like that. I'm trying to gently correct him, without my opinion coming across too much, because I'd prefer for him to make up his own mind. I don't like alot of the stuff he's coming out with and don't really know who it's coming from

Answer 7

It depends on how they talk about God.

I understand other people's believes and I respect them to the fullest.

If I don't agree with some of the stuff I say, I get a bit uncomfortable but wouldn't say anything about it. The good thing about our lives that most of us get to choose what to believe in and to what extent.

Answer 8

No because there can be only one creator of the universe.

The fact that Muslisms call God Allah, and the Jews call God YHVH, and the Christians call God Jehovah; they are all talking about the same Creator, and it's a non issue for me.

Answer 9

No, I don't get mad, because I do believe in God. But, when someone talks about their religion I just kind of smile and nod and I don't say anything, because if I don't agree with what they are saying, I usually won't express my opinion. Let them believe what they want to, as long as they don't try to convince me that their way is the only correct way to believe.

Answer 10

A person who talks about "Jehovah" God is showing that he values his relationship with God and Jesus more highly than superstitious misinterpretation.

(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth

(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them


The name "Jehovah" is an English translation of the Hebrew name pronounced as or similar to "Yahweh" or "Yehowah"; the exact original pronunciation is unknown. The four Hebrew characters corresponding to the letters "YHWH" are well-recognized as the biblical personal name of Almighty God, and are universally designated as "the Tetragrammaton" or "the Tetragram".

For centuries, most Jews have superstitiously refrained from pronouncing aloud any form of the divine Name. They base that superstition on the third of the Ten Commandments given to Moses:
(Exodus 20:7) You must not take up the name of Jehovah your God in a worthless way
http://watchtower.org/e/bible/ex/chapter_020.htm?bk=Ex;chp=20;vs=7;citation#bk7

Over the centuries, that Jewish superstition has expanded to also forbid writing or engraving any form of "YHWH", even when simply copying from one of the nearly 7000 occurences in the Hebrew Scriptures. In recent centuries, some superstitious Jews have even forbade unabbreviated EUPHEMISMS for "YHWH"; capitalized terms such as "Tetragrammaton" and (amazingly) even "the Name" are forbidden by such superstitions.

More recently, the Jewish superstition has ballooned out of all reasonableness by also forbidding respectful impersonal TERMS referring to the Almighty; thus many Jews insist upon writing "G-d" or "G~d" rather than "God". They may even refrain from capitalizing impersonal terms such as "Creator" and "Almighty".

Naturally, the religious and superstitious practices of a person are between him and his Creator. However, in recent decades these superstitious Jews have worked to impose their superstitious sensibilities beyond their religious communities, and onto the entire populace. Thus, although "YHWH' is unanimously recognized as the personal name of God, few today use any form of it in their writings and conversation.

Interestingly, Christendom has largely joined with superstitious Jews in suppressing the use of "Yahweh" and "Jehovah". However, it seems that Christiandom's anti-YHWH bias largely devolves from their hatred of Jehovah's Witnesses, the religion almost single-handedly responsible for the growing public recognition that the Almighty God of Judaism and Christianity actually does a personal name.

It seems that too many are more interested in coddling superstition than in allowing intellectual honesty and respect for the Almighty.

Answer 11

No, I love God and I love hearing about Him. Unless someone is committing blasphemy or talking ill of Him, Then yes it bothers me that they don't have respect like they should. I don't talk like that about other gods they should have the same respect for my God.
