And here I thought I could string words together rather intelligently. You’ve crushed me. Have a terrific day thinking of new ways to hate the God who created you.

One cannot hate somebody who does not exist Janice.

Prove to us your God exists.

Then and only then can talk about what he created.

"Religion stalks across the face of human history, knee-deep in the blood of innocents, clasping its red hands in hymns of praise to an approving God."—Philip Appleman

In Matthew 5:10-12, Jesus says, "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven."

In Matthew 10:22, Jesus assured His followers, "You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."

Jesus prepared His followers for the reality of persecution, encouraging us to remain steadfast and find hope in our eternal relationship with Him.

Prayers are going up for you, Dennis. May God bless your soul.

“For all you delusional and addicted religious folk who light a candle for me, then verily it shall be immediately bloweth out by me. I didn't ask for your candle to be lit for me. I don't want it. I don't need it. Please have your Candle back. Thank you very much.” – the great atheist Cristopher Hitchens

“The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God and Jesus than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don’t like that statement, but few can argue with it.” - Carl Sagan

I have no desire to be blessed by an invincible mass murderer, Susie.
