Think about it....Sodom and Gomorrah.
All the earth except for Noah's family.
Thousands perhaps millions in the books of Joshua and Judges....etc WERE ALL KILLED TO SHOW YOU G-D WILL JUDGE.
and Jesus, his apostles, many founders of Early Christianity, millions in China currently.....WERE ALL KILLED TO SEND THE MESSAGE TO YOU THAT YOU CAN BE SAVED.
Now if you really are a humanitarian.....and respect life as much as you say.......won't you accept how difficult it has been to get this to your ears? All that blood so you can live....must break His Holy heart when you say "no thanks I'll pass"
thoughts??
Let the arrows of hatred fly, if you must. The opinion of men means squat to me.
But have you ever thought of it this way, honestly??

Actually Alan, I accept the Jewish religion. I am a Messianic Jew.

God hasn't killed enough people to convince me.

David, you need to realize that you're not going to change anyones mind by continually spouting the bible. Believe it or not, you're really not helping your case. Just because YOU needed the threat of hellfire to learn to live with other people without hurting them, doesn't mean others need the same thing.
Your bible proves nothing. Its a book written by mankind when we still believed in dragons, that the earth was flat, and that the earth was the center of the universe.
Many things have happened since then. As a great movie said "Imagine what you'll know tomorrow".

same as today
how many sweatshop kids died or labored so we can wear cheap clothes and pay "Always low prices, Always"?
killing and g-d should not be synonymous, but there it is
love and humanity however tends to show more love to each other than a fictitious god
"god" simply becomes a mind weapon in an attempt to convince and controll people
but really we are all devine, sacred and holy, no need for salvation

So, in other words, your God is nothing more than a mugger, a thief, or even a psychotic child, who will throw a divine temper tantrum if he doesn't get his way?
How can I follow a God who doesn't respect the life he has created, or who stands and tortures his children for divine whim?
If you really thought about what you just said, all the death, destruction and murder perfomed by your God, who is it you are describing?
The Prince of Peace, or the Prince of the Powers of the Air?
Jesus or Satan?

Why do you reject the gift of the Islamic religion? Why do you reject the gift of the Jewish religion? Why do you reject the gift of the
The answer, I suspect, is because you don't believe them, you have a better answer, they don't float your boat, or they seem to just be wrong.
That's exactly how we feel about your bible stuff.
Sorry bout that, dude

God is the only one who can forgive, and how will he forgive you if make such claims that he had a son (May God forgive me for even contemplating this thought).
You seem to be greedy, taking the easy way, instead of praying to the Creator of the Universe, and asking of his forgiveness, and repentance sincerely.

what about the thousands that were killed because they would not convert to your religion?
is this how you accept the sacrifice of Jesus. "love him or we will kill you". i think that this would break the heart of a peacful god more so than people that just do not believe in him.

I think you are way off the mark and need to do some more intelligent research.

"The opinion of men means squat to me."
So why would anyone want to answer this, then?
