Christians say he will not be mocked; why hasn't he at least poisoned my coffee?

I have never said that. Because God loves you and He wants you to have freewill to chose Him or not.
God suffers none to die, why would He poison you?

God cannot be mocked- what you reap you will sow. Maybe not today, but sometime in the future- if you continue to mock Him, when you die and are held accountable for what you did while on the earth, it will be worse then poisoned coffee. I am not saying this to get you angry, because all of us will stand and give account. God loves you so much though, that He wants you to come to Him, so that Jesus can forgive you of your sins, and live eternally with Him. We all mock God who deny that He is Lord- I was there once too.

I think God is letting you mock Him because He is not unfair. If He were, then He'd make everyone agree with him and nobody would ever know anything else. I think he hasn't poisoned you because he can tolerate opposition, and He will show you the truth when you die (not b/c of Him). Our human interpretations of God are bound to be at least somewhat incorrect, b/c how can we really truly understand God till we have been to Heaven and He has spoken to us? So maybe mocking God isn't so bad.

God gave you free-will. So you are allowed to mock Him on Sundays. When your body dies and you meet Him face to face for judgment, hopefully He will not mock you then.
On earth we can use His name in vain, mock Him, blaspheme Him, denounce Him, etc., and He can strick us down right away, make us suffer over the years, or let us go to hell in the end. He is a fair and just judge and you will get what you deserve. Maybe in 10 yrs you will get cancer. Or get in a car accident and become paralyzed, or go blind. If something like this happens to you, think back to your days of mocking the Lord. Will you continue to mock Him or will you beg for forgiveness?
May God have mercy on your soul and may you stop being an mere idiot.

He will allow you to do what ever you want in this life. However, once you die, you will stand before Him and have to give an answer for what you are doing now. God is patient with people and gives them a lot of grace and freedom to ask questions, run from Him and try to hide. You may seem to be getting away with this now....but there is a divine justice system that falls into place once you cross into eternity.
The Bible says that man will die once and then face judgment. It also says that every knee will bow to Jesus Christ. It is better to bow your knee now, in this life than to pay the consequences later. Men may fail and disappoint you, but God never will. Peace to you my friend.

You can mock God all you like in life, I hope that you enjoy the eternal damnation after death

GOD will not force you to act against your free will.
If you freely willed to be rude or nice, GOD will just write it down, but never FORCE you to change who you are.
Peace.
P.S.
Humans will poison you and smile doing it to your face.
Humans love force.

God executes His purposes at times, and in places, and through instruments, of His own choosing.
You can stand by.

God is man enough to take your mocking for a season. I hope you are man enough to take His punishment for eternity.
