Shelby- Your delusions are far worse than I originally thought.
And, of course, your opinion matters.
Allow me to break down your foolish beliefs piece by piece.
By all means, proceed...
So your God is biased enough to be obligated to intervene on your behalf
Yes. Where did you hear that He was NOT biased?
yet he turns a deaf ear and commits no action to aid thousands of children being sexually abused every year?
Children... and adults... suffer many ways, Reborn, and no, my Father does not intervene. Not outside of His 'house', for those not IN His 'house' (and many who were) do not WANT it. Let me ask you, and you tell ME, since you are so "intelligent":
What if, in YOUR house, you do not feel your children need milk because YOU believe it is 'good' for them not to have it. And I come along and try to force YOU to give your children milk because I believe it IS 'good' for them. As long as there is no 'law'... who decides? Can the police just come in and arrest you because you didn't do what I believed you should?
In THIS world, many... MANY people believe that sex with children is absolutely okay. Now, you and I don't believe it, but... can you and I now blame the 'police' for not acting, when there was no 'law'?
May I ask you... what is the age limit under God's 'law', dear Reborn? Let me remind you: MEN... did not leave home until age 30. And parents were supposed to put unruly children to death by stoning. Now, I ask you... do YOU adhere to that law? No? What about homosexuality, bestiality, adultery... were not such things according to the 'law'... punishable by death? Do you wish God to intervene and EXACT His law in those regards? Or do you... like most of mankind... wish God to leave us to our own devices? Well, then, why not pedophilia? Why not let US work that one out, too, as we wish... nay DEMANDED... to work all the other "transgressions" out?
Oh, I know... because THAT one hurts children! And war doesn't? Hunger doesn't? Alcoholism? Does that not cause harm to children? Yet, we still want to drink. Domestic abuse... physical abuse... etc., etc., etc. Yet, we... earthling man... still engage in all of it.
"Funny"... we want God to stay out of our "business"... yet we scream BLOODY MURDER... when He does. Funny, indeed.
If God intervened, dear Reborn, what "evil" would you have Him start with? What "sin"? And which one of YOURS would you beg Him to overlook? Or... are YOU without sin? Truly, dear one, when all wickedness goes, ALL wickedness... will go. ALL of it. Not just the stuff YOU consider "bad". For in God's eyes... bad... is simply bad. There is no 'ranking' with it.
Just how important do you feel you are?
Me?! To God, very. To my family, very. To you? Well... To others of earthling man? Well... Why do I feel I am important? Well, first, because those I am important TO have told me so. Just as I tell them. Second, because ALL life is important to God. Which is why He sent His SON... to SAVE it! However, not all life wishes to BE saved, Reborn. It may SAY it, but by its fruits, it shows what it really wants - not life, but death!
Now if you're asking me how "important" I feel I am with regard to my "position" with God and among mankind, I tell you truly... I am nothing more than a servant, and thus inferior to all. Trust me: no one knows that more than I do, for it is due to such service that I continue subjecting myself to this. If I though MORE of myself, you and I would not be having this conversation, for I would have blown you off a LONG time ago. However, my Father's honor is at stake. And unlike many of earthling man who claim to love God... or their friends... but leave them in their hour of accusation... I have been taught... and have learned... what TRUE loyalty is. And that is: standing up for those you love... and KNOW... in SPITE and in the FACE of what the circumstances may seem to depict to others.
If you KNEW your father was innocent, Reborn, and yet you were the only one... or one of the only ones willing to stand up and TESTIFY (give a WITNESS) on his behalf... I have no doubt that you would do it. No matter what others thought... or said... about you. Even if it were that you were crazy. Depending on your relationship with your father, how well you KNEW him... and how innocent you thought him to be, you, too, would do just as I am doing.
Again, you are blaming... the wrong person. Can I myself prove that to you? No, I cannot. I can only speak in defense. You will either have to prove the one guilty, or that one will prove himself innocent. I am but a witness as to that One's character, which I know... very well... and you don't.
Just how judgmental and biased is your god?
Judgmental? Not at all. Not at ALL. Can't you TELL?! You want Him to judge... and yet, now you chagrin Him as being judgmental. Earthling man. Go figure.
From the statement you made, you consider yourself worthy of special consideration and more important than all children who are brutally assaulted every year.
No, no more special than my brothers and sisters. I mean, He is, after all my Father. I DO claim His as my God. Wouldn't YOUR father hear YOU? Does that make YOU more special than all other children in the world? Perhaps to YOUR father, but in general? Same principle. But you think He is the God of ALL. Is YOUR father the father of ALL?
referring to an omnipotent, eternal god who sits by idly and allows it to happen. You know damn well whose track record I was referring to.
Well, yeah. Obviously, you didn't get my point, that the you mayhaps was misattributing such "track record." That's why I ASKED... to get you to CONSIDER. Of course, you "intelligently" missed that, didn't 'cha?
Oh, any my "excuse" was not an excuse, neither was it "lame." It was, in fact, a VERY intelligent question, which I noticed YOU did not answer.
Oh, I forgot, please forgive me. An innocent child is obligated to call out the right name while being raped.
Okay, so you've had privilege to peek into every corner and determine SOME name was being called out. Okay. AND... you now know for a fact WHICH name was called! What, don't Buddhist children get raped? Islamic? Who do they call out to, may I ask, if they call at all?
Don't get me wrong... one does not have to call out audibly. One can call out in one's heart. And if JAH is called... JAH... hears. And answers. If He is NOT called, however, how it is that you think He would usurp the 'authority' of any other 'god'... when its children call for it rather than for Him? Truly, you do not KNOW Him.
So your god is responsible for creating Adam in his image. Yet all offspring of Adam are NOT his responsibility? LOL!
I'm sorry, but were YOU His responsibility? Or your mom and dad's? Nevermind. Methinks that one might be a bit difficult for you - quantum physics and all that.
We were talking about innocent children here who are raped while your perfect god of love DOES NOTHING.
What was MY God obligated to DO, dear Reborn? And where it is 'written'?
Stick to the point, do not be evasive.
I did. Quite.
But, probably the most disgusting thing you said was this: "Love warns, Reborn. It does not necessarily intervene. Ask ANY parent, brother, sister, child, etc. Why? Because intervention is not always WANTED! "
Yep. Trust me on this. And ask ANY parent...
So let me get this straight. Out of love your god chooses to warn the molestor or the child for being raped? Where were you intending to go with this?
His 'warning' was to love your neighbor... as you love yourself. Which means, 'do no harm.' Now, obviously, a rapist, although perhaps raped him/herself, cannot 'walk' under this warning. As regards the child, parents are TOLD how to be toward their children... loving. THAT would include LISTENING when your child tells you something has occurred. It would include BEING APPROACHABLE so that they know they CAN tell you. It would mean SPENDING ENOUGH TIME with them... rather than always shuffling them off somewhere... or ignoring their existence... so that they even become prey. It would mean watching them in the presence of others. It would mean children LISTENING to their parents and heeding warnings such as "don't do drugs", "don't talk to strangers," "don't let people touch you wrongly."
Why do many children succumb to pedophilia, Reborn? The TRUTH? Because... they LACK love and AFFECTION from SOMEWHERE... and will TAKE IT... when and how and under WHATEVER circumstances they can GET it! THAT... is the truth!
But no, we can't blame the rapists... we can't blame the parents... we can't blame the authorities who let such things continue... we can't blame those who see nothing immoral about it. THEY were all innocents victims... victims... of... of... of... CREATION! Yeah! If God had not CREATED them to begin with, NONE of this would have happened! God SHOULD have created perfect people (nevermind that He did, though!), and what... yes! started wiping out those who proved imperfect! But then that would mean He'd have to KILL someone! No! We can't have THAT, cause if God should kill ANYONE... that's wrong, too! But, no, wait! Maybe He should kill "bad" people, cause they don't deserve to live! But, who's "BAD"?! Are we not ALL 'bad', but some not as bad as other?! Okay, well maybe only SOME of us should be killed! But, which ONES of us are baddest?
(I'm still waiting for that intelligence and clear thinking of yours to kick in...)
Or worse yet, you said: "Love warns, Reborn. It does not necessarily intervene. Ask ANY parent, brother, sister, child, etc. Why? Because intervention is not always WANTED!" and: "You, like MANY others... still seem to think that all pedophilia is committed 'against consent'. Well, I am not sure I can agree with you: many parents DO consent, and many children are TAUGHT to consent and so realize nothing "wrong" about it until exposed to a different way of thinking. Now, you and I don't have to LIKE that... but it certainly is the TRUTH." Are you somehow insinuating that innocent children want to be raped?
Not at all! But not all of them consider it to BE rape. In many parts of the world, it is acceptable. In other parts, that is one of the reasons many don't come forward: they are ashamed of their CONSENT... even though they are notto blame for it!
You are one sick fuck.
Oooh! Clear! I'm no so sure about "intelligent", though, and "thinking," well...
What 95% of the world do you refer to? North America? The UK? Australia? Most of Africa? The Middle East? Why not be specific in your claim of 95%? Do not make claims of percentages without facts to support your statement.
No, I don't have support anything. I gave you the statistics. Don't believe me? Look them up. Read a little. Get out of the house and travel a little. Ask the Board...
Do not presume to tell me what I have or have not done.
Well, you certainly didn't dispute my presumption. Tell me, where have you been? And what do you know of the sexual practices there? Yes, just as I thought...
Get off your high horse bitch. Your delusions of grandeur are nauseating.
{{{Shaking in my "boots" caused you used more "dirty" words...}}}
I'm done with you.
Somehow, I don't believe that to be true.
Please do not respond to my post.
You're kidding, right? You didn't WANT me to respond? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Your sickening perspective had already made itself readily apparent. Seek professional help.
Methinks it was something 'twas made you sick, as you obviously cannot perceive my perspective... or the truth. And my help comes from a professional, dear one... the "Mighty Counselor". Tell me, from where does YOUR come?
BTW, Six, I am with you. lower case g.
Well, then, there are at least two of you 'intelligent and clear thinking' people. That's a start.
My peace, Reborn (and now your label intrigues me)... remains.
A slave of Christ,
SJ (who doesn't get all shaky when folks use "the B word" - I'm Black, remember? Been hearin' THAT one in all sorts of connotations for YEARS!)
