I think it was pretty much unintentional, but you did, with the whole "I'd go to Hell myself to free all the innocent people" statement. And the fact that you think you could do a better job at being God than God does.

1. I wasn't comparing myself to Jesus. I was telling you what I would do if God was real.
2. People who keep quoting me on that keep missing that I myself was quoting a comedian.

1. What's stopping you from doing it now, whether or not you think God is real?

I already have.

God just hasn't answered my questions. sad

You just haven't listened.

I like to think that I have.

Yes, I agree with the quote. I believe Rashind would provide complete and undeniable proof of his existence. I also believe that we should impeach God.

How can you impeach the creator of the universe?

JESUS CHRIST! scream

I quoted a comedian! Would you people please stop quoting me on that? It doesn't matter how you would go about impeaching Him. In fact, that's the exact point of the entire joke. The system is screwed up, and wouldn't it be funny if the Kingdom of Heaven was a democracy instead?

Quote:
Why do you want to impeach him if you don't believe he exists?

Point is, if God does exist He certainly doesn't deserve His title.

Knock on His door. If He doesn't want to get up to open it for you, keep knocking. Eventually He will get so fed up with the racket you're making that He'll open up. I believe this is what Jesus taught about the nature of God.

I'm here, aren't I? wink

Well, we're trying to help you. There's no-one stopping you knocking on His door, except yourself of course.

Yes, I agree with the quote. I believe Rashind would provide complete and undeniable proof of his existence. I also believe that we should impeach God.

What's Rashind's proof of his own existence got to do with you going to Hell to free innocent people?

Absolutely nothing, as far as I can tell.

*Shrugs* I'm not the one who brought it up.

Are you not? You were the one claiming to be some sort of Godly saviour figure by claiming you'd do a better job than God by going to Hell to save people. So what if you were quoting a comedian called Rashind? It's no use diverting attention away from your claim by saying "I never said that! It was Rashind!"
Lethkhar
Priestley
If you couldn't do exactly what Jesus did, you wouldn't save anyone from Hell. Moreover, when did Jesus go to Hell to rescue innocent people? He didn't go to Hell and has never been. The salvation is in Jesus' life, crucifixion, death and resurrection, not in Jesus physically having gone to Hell and physically bringing everyone out. Where did you learn that?

Who on earth are you talking to? And what the ******** are you talking about? confused

All I said was that I'd gladly go to Hell to save everyone else from the same fate. Again: I am not comparing myself to Jesus. You people are the ones that did that. And I never said Jesus actually took people out of Hell. That would be totally irrelevant.

If you didn't split my paragraph, you would have seen that I'm speaking to you about the nature of what Jesus actually did as the saviour of mankind, comparing it with your idea of saving people by going to Hell yourself. I'm also claiming that you wouldn't be able to save anyone from Hell even if you did indeed intend on honouring your word by being this saviour figure.

I'm shocked that someone with such an intellect as yours wouldn't know better than to post with such tone and language as to treat me like a babbling fool.

That's not what I said. Just because you quote someone it doesn't mean that you believe the same things of yourself. For instance, when you quote God in saying,"I am the LORD", does that make you the LORD?

No, that's silly.

I said that I would gladly go to Hell myself to save everyone who is innocent. I also said Rashind would be a better God. So what?

As would any tyrant. 3nodding


So would an innocent person. stare We're arguing in circles now. I'm pretty sure that the Creator of the universe would have a bit of a better perspective of justice than someone He happened to stick into that universe. That's like telling the brain it's wrong for operating the way it does.

"But why does this cell only react to horizontal bars moving sideways? That's dumb!" Though, the brain didn't create itself and it's not something that's always existed ... never mind. I hope you get my point. Whether you agree with it or not. -headdesk-

Well, most brains certainly are wrong to some degree. neutral

I still don't like the idea of a single person bring judge, jury, and prosecutor. It's too totalitarian.

The only thing she does after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto (that was sad, by the way; but I think her son is planning to lead the party and run for election) is put a present under the tree that says "Peace for Pakistan." First she votes wholeheartedly to go to Iraq - as most people did. After the war started to go sour, she said she wasn't sure what she thought. A couple of days after that, she said that she was wholeheartedly against the war from the start. Opportunist, just like most Democrats. They will say anything to sound good for the people. I think it was most called for.

Oi, like I said: I am not a supporter of Hillary Clinton. Hell, I'm not a supporter of the Democratic Party. They're mostly a bunch of spineless moderates who spend so much time cowering in fear and weedling away for votes that they make absolutely no actual progress. And the Republicans are just morons.

I'm with George Washington: Major parties are bad for democracy and are destroying this nation.

But this has absolutely nothing to do with the previous discussion. But that's OK. 3nodding I like talking politics.

Your comparison is insufficient. God made everything. Plasma, dark matter, then cute girl you're going to see at homecoming, everything. And from pure nothingness too, with no equipment whatsoever. He spoke, and it was so. If you refuse to see the logic in that, then you're more stubborn then I expected from you.
