Is God a sadist?
* Exodus 4:11 - blindness, deafness, and other such handicaps are deliberately inflicted by god.
* God wants sinners to eat their own dung and drink their own urine. Cow dung is considered a valid alternative to human dung for those who complain. Ezekiel 4:12-15, 2 Kings 18:27, and Isaiah 36:12.
* As if dung and urine weren't enough, sinners are also expected (by god) to eat their own children: Leviticus 26:29, Deuteronomy 28:53-57, Jeremiah 19:9.
If not a sadist perhaps he just enjoys watching?

Sigh. Another out-of-context, self-righteous rant. Forget critical thinking and actually examining your own "position" to look for possible weaknesses like fallacies, you're going to first make sure that everyone knows and understands what a total, and laughable *** you really are. Ad Hominems against God are as effective as trying to free-stack marbles- of which yours are obviously stuck up your *** along with your head.

First of all do not try to understand the meanings of the words written in those books literally. There are hidden meanings for every passage in religious books. Even Jesus used to talk only in parables. Secondly the recordings were made as per the understanding of the recorders and it may not truly reflect the context and meaning of the words of Jesus.

Does it bother you that God lets mankind run their own lives, and make their own decisions? To be God to you he would have to take care of everything bad so you could live in Utopia?.I believe that would be heaven and that is reserved for people that believe in him. He states that pain, suffering, death are all brought about by the sins of man. How about mankind taking responsibility for all the pain and suffering they cause. You just want a free ride, without the responsibility.

Those who know God know that he is not a sadist.
God is pure bliss, enlightnment and Love.
He has been made to be so ( a sadist) by those who want to rule in his name.
God does not need us for his existence so as to coax, cajole or frighten us into believing in him.
But definitely those at the helm of religious affairs need a punishing monster of a God to extract obedience and money so as to remain in power.

then I do not know which god you believe in because the god I believe in is the one and only, eternal, he is the mercyful. He is testing his people by giving them problems. Life is nothing without a problem. We learn from are problems and mistakes and this is how life goes....and maybe you'll find out how much god is powerful on the judgement day....and then maybe before punishment, we do not get the chance to speak..............THINK BEFORE SAYING SOMETHING

judas say you were the most reviled evil spirit there ever was
say you were as satan [the great deciever ] got that
right you hate god with a passion /hate the love he stands for [would destroy every speck of life ]
indeed because you are so vile you would hide gods love /light under an evil vile veil
no one would dare to look under
you judas
you could decieve them all to whorship a faulse god
you lord judas [or satan your master deciever/}
well your big brother the fallen angel satan
who lied to eve from the beginning
subverted the people of mosus even as gods commandments were being delivered
tried to decieve even jesus him self
how hard you rekin it would have been to write a few lies into the old texts ?
just to keep gods real nature veiled [behind your own deciets
think god is love light life
satan is hate decit e death
god takes the dust makes it live
satan decieves life to make it dust
judas repent my brotherr]
satan has decieved many more that you could even think to decieve
recall jesus sowed good wheat ;he even said satan would over sow with decietfull look alikes [tares ]
jesus said let them grow together
we will gather the lies out at harvest 'leaving only our harvest of truth [god is life /love /good truth ]
live for it
dont die for satans decite
god is the living god
satan thinks kill all life then god goes away
satan is liar not really clever , god cant go while even one still live [even satan ]
but his fire is refining us into choseing
the dead words lies of the past
or the one real true living loving god of this real present moment [living now ; sustaining all life to live ,even thou]
those words you wrote designed to descust and decieve
written by satan
spoken by judus

You will never understand God's word because you take it out of context.
Exodus 4:11 - God will punish the Godless.
Ezekiel 4:12-15, 2 Kings 18:27, and Isaiah 36:12 - God was using a prophet to make a point to the Israelites because they were turning from God.
Yes people got so hungry they ate their own children.
Why do people think God will not avenge the innocent blood of the screaming unborn murdered babies that are being butchered by the millions?
Judgement is coming. Be ready or be suprised.

Well, what can I say. I do not think that those passages say that God enjoys it. He was telling those people where their inclinations of serving idols was sending them to. They would willfully make those things happen, and God wasn't going to stop them.
Let's say that God deliberately set them on the course, I think that sounds like He was pissed. And yet they still didn't believe Him? Oh well.
So what exactly are yousaying. That if God proves to hate people who don't listen to Him, you'd rather not be in on His good side?
You can own that if you want, I'll have no part of THAT stupid game! It's all yours.
