This "perfect" Gods that some of the people here go on about may be perfect and the plan may be perfect and we and all of creation may be perfect but being an ass and punishing me in hell because I believe all of the perfectly formed evidence of dinosaurs, evolution, a round earth, etc..., seems pretty screwed up. After all, I'm only using my perfect brain in my perfect situation with my perfect observations of science and nature to come to my perfect, and so would say wrong, conclusions.
At least the believers should be able to understand why others do not believe.

P.S. I once threw a dog off of the top of a building then I punished it because it didn't fly.

Psalm 36:5, Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
Your judgments are like a great deep
O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8 They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house;
And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.
9 For with You is the fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.

Unless you want to hang the whole dang mess(the fall of man)on a specific skin color/people...
Blame it on God. He created the whole mess in the first place.

Or blame it on man. He created God in the first place.
Adam and Eve is such a nice children's story. Like the Easter Bunny and Santa.
No serious adult would be so naive as to truly believe that fairy tale.
And Dood, of course it matters what skin color Adam and Eve were.
They were created in God's own image. So that way we would know if God was black, or white, or Hispanic or even Asian looking.

The fundamental root of the left's animosity towards Jesus and God is simple -- our country was founded upon the belief, as stated in the Declaration of Indpendence, that our individual rights are endowed to us by our Creator, NOT MAN. Liberals (oh, they call themselves "progressives" now), in order to achieve their "utopia" must necessarily crush the invidual in order to create their ideal collective society. Individual rights to a liberal are anathema to their goals. Hence, they must therefore be against God, since he is the one who gave us our individual rights, not the liberals who want to take them away.
Example -- abortion has been seen for thousands of years, in almost every culture, as a mortal sin (i.e., against God). Liberals love abortion since it allows them to easily rectify their free-love/free-sex "mistakes." In order to justify abortion in our culture liberals must destroy the obstacle that is in their way -- God.
A great book I suggest you read is "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers. It deals with this subject quite well.

The American revolution was a profoundly secular and anti christian act!
By revolting against the king, the founding fathers declared the superiority of individual rights and needs over the commandment of God as set down in Romans 13 to obey government leaders that rule by divine right.
Paul declared Christians must obey their government since it is put in place by God himself... and he was talking about folks like Nero!

good point, BK. the "command" to believe and to love--kinda indicates a basic lack of understanding about the nature of believing and loving, don't you think? authoritarian command-and-control applied to something so basically personal, spiritual, even mystical. kinda indicates a basic lack of understanding about the nature of spirituality. often i think that christians are the most un-spiritual gang on the planet. they certainly have produced a society which turns its back on its own religion whenever convenient.
no offense to gobee, who's a nice guy when you meet him personally, but his monologue here represents a basic hard-headed lack of flexibility, the thinking and "testifying" of a robot. gobee is better than that, but he isn't when the subject of his religion comes up.
