God and celebrity syndrome

Ophios's picture

Celebrity syndrome. While I made the name up for this as I typed this out, it's a phenomena that's all too real. Celebrities going to court, and getting left off with little in the way of punishment. Why? It's because he/she was in this movie/sung this song/made this painting etc.

No one personifies this sick defendo ad popularity then god.
He could destroy the world at the snap of fingers, for the stupidest reason, and that'll be okay. Why? 'Cause it's god. Never mind the fact that we are supposed to have received morals from it. It's stupid no matter which way you cut it. He made the universe... SO WHAT?! He made me... SO WHAT?! It's not like he asked, and said "'K fine."

My mom and dad made me. You can take this to the bank, if they killed someone, and I find out they did it in cold blood. I'm not going to defend them, no way!
Sure they are my parents, but so what. that doesn't let them off the hook. NOTHING EVER DOES!
If you are a whiny-ego-centric-mass-murdering-brat, and you make the universe and all within. You are still a whiny-ego-centric-mass-murdering-brat!

God is especially whiny (the omniwhiner)- but that is for another time.

Your Point?

I am not sure what your point is there, but I'll try my best to understand you.

The masses of people make celebrities famous, so that when they face judgement, they are let off the hook with little to no punishment...not always, but yeah, sometimes.

God is not a celebrity...he created justice. Since he ultimately created life, he has the right to ultimately take it away as long as it is justly done, since that is his nature, and for a sinful world, that is exactly what a just God should do, but he had mercy instead, and offered a plan of Salvation through Jesus Christ.

Who is Jesus Christ to you?

PS-Your parents didn't create you anymore than i created a car by ordering it.  They used the means provided by God to "order" a child, and the means provided by God to nurture that child until it were ready to be born.

That would seem true, if god was real (to me)!

When I read this, I just had to run to a dictionary (Unfortunatly), And you are right! It isn't since it has never really done anything that has been covered by the media, and the like.

 

But I never said it was.

Unfortunatly, since what "is just" is relative, the act of him taking life in a just way would be rare.

Hey, I made this building, and gave it to someone else, I have the right to tear it down anytime I want!

He could umm...

1. Maybe not get so uptight over not believeing in it, and have people focus on being good (But I see it would rather have head then that).

2. Get us some better proof of his existence, he knows what he put out thus far won't get me to believe, and the fact that he seems to have not put out anything that would convince me, convinces me that it just doesn't care.  It's so much more easier throwing 2/3 of the world into hell fire, then to - you know - doing something, becuase god knows full well of what it takes for all to believe, and it's all up to him, since he is the big guy.

But I see christians like to shift blame when something bad happens, like little soldiers.

Like Robin hood, and Pual Bunyon.

A tall tale.

Wrong. They used pieces of themselves to spawn an offspring made of themselves. No god had anything to do with it.
