Should some rethink mocking God (continued)?

Question

Here are some men and women
who mocked God :
> John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear.
I do not have to argue about
that. I am certain.
Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

>Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

> *Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During A show in Canecio (Rio de Janeiro ),
while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you."
He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in

...in a horrible manner.

> The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said:
"Not even God can sink it"
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic .

>Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.
He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
"I don't need your Jesus".
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment .

>Bon Scott (Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
"Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell".
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

>Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up

a friend..... The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
"My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full "
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,
the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken .

>Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle .

Joe_Citizen_66: I have not posted this, or anything like it, here or anywhere else before. Someone just pointed it out to me TODAY.

Hmmm...this was an experiment--apparently it should have been conducted in 'Celebrities' or 'Polls & Surveys'

I'm one who happens to respect the beliefs of all...whether or not I agree with them.

Judging by the majority of answers, no one else was raised to respect anyone or anything...

There may be just two answers here that are even remotely polite. I have certainly proved my point about this category.

No conformity among atheists, huh...right

Answer 1

Yea, you are right, GOOD people never die, right? You silly child, open your eyes.

Answer 2

Hello,

Not really because there are so many other God fearing people who worked so hard for God yet died very unpleasant deaths as well. For example that old nun who worked all her life for the sick and poor in Sudan, shot down like a dog after the Pope's university speech last year through to the 3 young Indonesian Christian school girls who had their heads hacked off by Islamic extremists 18 months back as well as countless others of all Christian faiths martyred over the centuries, dying with God's name on their lips.

Cheers,

Michael Kelly

Answer 3

HAH! Yeah, right. People who think God owns the world or something and that they should adhere to God are sick and perverted even if they think it's not. You just named a few people who coincidentally insulted God and got killed. Well guess what, there are many other people in the world who mock God and are not dead right now. One of those people is me and I know I'm not going to be killed unless I choose to because God does not own us. God doesn't even exist. It's just a made-up entity that people who are so dumb that they think they were created by someone special. Think of all the good people that died like Martin Luther King Jr., John Kennedy, and loads of other people that we believe to be good. Come on, it's just a coincidence that people die when they insult "God."

Answer 4

I think a God as petty as this one you have envisioned would be totally unworthy of a shred of respect. Your idea is that God let people like Hitler and Stalin murder thousands of innocent people but took the time to expunge some relatively decent humans because they disagreed with it and said some mildly controversial things? Wow, thats all I can say, sick stuff. I could never worship a God such as this.

Answer 5

Not everyone who mocks God will end up dying a terrible death. Some may have an easy death; but, unless they accept Jesus at some point before death, the terrible part is waiting for them. And, it will last forever.

I am terribly ashamed to say that in one part of my life, I made mocking statements. Thank God He forgave me and saved my soul. Still, it is hard to forgive myself. I can't believe that I have said and done some of the things I did in my past. But, I am trusting God's word. He will forgive those who come to Him sincerely sorry and asking forgiveness, and who believe on His Son Jesus.

God loved me even when I was unlovable. Praise His holy name!!

Answer 6

Yeah...that's been posted before. Everyone dies you know. I could post similar things like say the Flying Spaghetti Monster killed Pope John Paul for mocking him. It doesn't make it true.

I have been mocking your god for more than 30 years and I am still here.

Answer 7

Seems to me that the continued good fortune of the mockers of your sky faerie around here rather proves the counterpoint to your mass of disjointed events.

Get a clue.

Remain happy in your daze...

ADDENDUM

Why should we be polite to an obvious spammer? You claim that you haven't posted this tract before. Perhaps. However, it is all over the web (e.g. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Cazuza+%28Bi-sexual+Brazilian+composer%2C+singer+and+poet%29%3A+&btnG=Google+Search , specifically, http://powerhouse-ministry.org/default.aspx ) , verbatim. Therefore you are an artful (in your mind) copy/paster.

Sorry (NOT!) to have hurt your poor widdle feewings, but you should realise that R&S isn't just "Religion & Spirituality", but, also, "Rock 'em & Sock 'em".

Now, go spam the P & S folks.

Answer 8

I don't know about mocking God but you haven't done Him any favours here. Do you know how powerful God is? Do you believe He is capable of being hurt or mocked? You need to rethink your ideas of God. He's bigger than you think.

Answer 9

You realize that many of these deaths are either of little consequence to their statements (and rather the result of a poor lifestyle), or that they were murdered, either for other reasons or for their statement itself. Now, that brings my question: Should we not mock God for fear of getting murdered by violent believers?

Answer 10

And Jesus said that he had powers greater than Caesar. The Romans strung him up when he was in his thirties. Tiberious outlived him. Back to square one .

Answer 11

You can't seriously think that God caused the deaths of the people who mocked him?? I mock God the entire time, when i die you could say it was because i mocked God last week. Poeple die! people mock god! don't make a connection when there obviously isn't one.
