Homophobes are closet queens.

Yeah. All the homophiles say that - without a shred of evidence.

No, it was created by the rich Brits stealing all the potatoes for themselves.
No. It was created by a potato blight.

As for the "Brits", everyone in Ireland was British in the 1840s. Most of Ireland sidn't decede from the Union until 1922.

Our species is what hurts our species. This is where we are when 'God' has had no representatives on earth for about 2,000 years. Not really a success story for 98% of the people that have lived during that period of time. I'm thinking that 'we' have used and abused and killed far more people than God did in the same amount of time.



All while your god sat, watched and did nothing.


Not more though. The exact number, as man is and has always been god.

I think we stopped inventing gods because we weren't using the ones we had.

.



We still mostly don't.

Jews can't even correctly identify the 'land of the enemy' from Jeremiah:31 so how do you suppose they did with the rest of the OT when you need Revelations to fill in the blanks God left in the OT prophecies??

Evil came about when Satan became a murder and a liar, that was with Eve in the garden.

Angels have always been under the Re:21 Law and evil was created when Law was created, so was good.

God made the law, He was nor responsible for tempting anybody to break them. Even fallen angels could have stayed out of the Pit had they not tried to kill off all the 5-fingered children of Adam and Eve.

Is God evil in that you lack pretty much any understanding of the book or His methods and agenda. In your fantasy world nobody should have ever burned themselves on something hot or fallen off a bicycle. Nice theory but impractical in an imperfect world.


I see that you are as good at answering direct questions as most theists.


When all you have is lies -----


God murdered A & E not Satan.


God is the one who kept them from what would keep them alive in this myth. The tree of life.

"In fact, the most glaring cause of the famine was not a plant disease, but England's long-running political hegemony over Ireland. The English conquered Ireland, several times, and took ownership of vast agricultural territory. Large chunks of land were given to Englishmen.
https://mises.org/library/what-caused-irish-potato-famine

"The ***proximate*** cause of famine was Phytophthora infestans, a potato disease commonly known as potato blight,[6] which ravaged potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s. However, the impact in Ireland was disproportionate, as one third of the population was dependent on the potato for a range of ethnic, religious, political, social, and economic reasons, such as land acquisition, absentee landlords, and the Corn Laws, which all contributed to the disaster to varying degrees and remain the subject of intense historical debate.

The famine was a watershed in the history of Ireland.[1] Its effects permanently changed the island's demographic, political, and cultural landscape. For both the native Irish and those in the resulting diaspora, the famine entered folk memory[fn 1] and became a rallying point for various Irish Home Rule and United Ireland movements, as the whole island was then part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

The massive famine soured the already strained relations between many of the Irish people and the British Crown, heightening Irish republicanism, which eventually led to Irish independence in the next century.

I disagree
colonialism sucks
it is responsible for much misery

but I suppose you could say god hated them, or maybe he loved them so much he wanted them all in heaven to brighten the up the brass fixins or something

It's homophobic because it's correct to be so. Homosexuality is wrong.

Really!


So why does your creator god create them?

God didn't create mankind with flaws. Humans themselves have created their own flaws.


So man is the creator of his own nature. Adam must have been around, before being created, to help god out with creating the nature he put into himself.


I guess you do not recognize how idiotically funny you are thinking.

Wrong for you perhaps! Homosexuality has its purpose, when species get over populated they turn homo to stem over population. So, Blackloaf, you don't always know everything about everything! :) :)



I too defend the rights of gays but do not agree with your reason as it would mean that ancient gays lived in overpopulated areas and that can be shown to be quite false.


Many Western nations are presently not reproducing enough to maintain their populations, yet they are still producing gays.

And why did man fall? Because god created him weak and gullible enough to fall, with (you must believe this to be consistent) full knowledge that he *would* fall. If you create something knowing it to be flawed, and it fails, the fault is yours.
That isn't it at all, man fell because we are imperfect, the first example of that is the fall. God taught Adam what he needed to know to avoid falling into sin, Adam was the one who taught Eve what she knew, that is why the addition was made about touching the fruit. Eve never met God as her creation was made at the very end of the 6th day while Adam was created at the beginning of the 6th day. That is why Satan was tempting Eve rather than Adam even though Adam was the 'leader'. He was also closer to God and would have resisted Satan.
Where was Adam when the serpent (Satan) was talking with Eve?
When you create something that can fail and it fails and you are perfect then the repair part is also something that is part of the overall perfection process. You seem to keep leaving that very important part out. The Great White Throne event is the last of the repair process and the 1,000 year reign is the beginning of the repair process that was always part of the 'plan'. When your children break your rules do you abandon them or do you take steps that repair the breach and when that is done life for you two goes on as if the disobedience never happened.


Nice or you to express the mental gymnastics that you have to do in order to slam God as being 'unfit'. Clearly the flaw lies with your understanding of the book rather than any actual flaw in the book. The fall happened in the first 3 chapters, the repair happens in the last 3 chapters of the book. Someday you may actually be able to admit that to yourself.

So man is the creator of his own nature. Adam must have been around, before being created, to help god out with creating the nature he put into himself.

I guess you do not recognize how idiotically funny you are thinking.
Dito.
Adam being around before being created?? Any idea how retarded that thought actually is??? LOL
The water from day 2 watered Eden which is the whole planet, the garden area was left dry until Adam was created at the start of the 6th day and during the course of that one day all the plants started to grow as the seeds that had blown id during the previous days finally had water (in the form of a mist) that covered the area defined in Ge:2 and that version of creation as seen through the eyes of the Holy Spirit as she was the breath of life that made Adam a living soul. As the plants grew Adam named them, as the animals came in Adam named them. The Dead Sea back then would have been the body of fresh water that it will return to during the 1,000 year reign and described in Eze:47.

Might as well stop here as God is most likely blocking you (and others) from gaining any knowledge even though the words are quite clear. You are a living example of what Pharaoh experienced when God hardened his heart during the time of the plague. The Bible was never intended to be the tool that converted 100% of the people, even Prophets never got that rating and the two witnesses are the last Prophets and they only get a 33% conversion rate. 66% have their hearts hardened (not much work is needed on God's part as Satan and Co are the ones that help that ratio be obtained)

All while your god sat, watched and did nothing.

Not more though. The exact number, as man is and has always been god.

I see that you are as good at answering direct questions as most theists.

When all you have is lies -----

God murdered A & E not Satan.

God is the one who kept them from what would keep them alive in this myth. The tree of life.
Satan became king of the earth when he was restricted to crawling around the earth. God always had a time set for when He would be in control. That starts off with making people immortal so the grave no longer applies to them in that no person ever sins after the start of the 1,000 year reign.

My answers aren't flawed, your ability to hear and understand the truth is what is flaw2ed in our 'chats'. Not a huge surprise considering what you think of God. That makes you a reject but it does put you near the end of the line as far as salvation goes. In order to save you (and those that think like you) the grave keeps you safe until all wrath is past, the last part of wrath is when Satan is sent to the fiery lake at the end of the 1,000 year reign.

You can't even understand a verse that uses plain language, how could you possible understand that an appointed time was always 'set in stone' and that time is when the two bruises from Ge:3:15 is completed, that is the only reason there is any delay, too bad you will have to wait to have God Himself explain that to you at the GWT event.

Job:14:13:
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave,
that thou wouldest keep me secret,
until thy wrath be past,
that thou wouldest appoint me a set time,
and remember me!

Jer:4:28:
For this shall the earth mourn,
and the heavens above be black:
because I have spoken it,
I have purposed it,
and will not repent,
neither will I turn back from it.

Isa:55:11:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Homophobes are closet queens. Blackhead doth protest too much. He is terrified of his own gayness.
Where is that picture you posted of you hanging out with your poofter friends at the pub, Blackhead?

Blackie might be gay, but the gays won't admit that he is. He's the last one they would want to be part of their 'crowd'. /snark

Gays existed before your version of God was invented, Blackie, and they'll exist long after. Stop using your version of God as an excuse to hate people.

What a load of piffle. And I can't think of a species that is overpopulated. Earth certainly doesn't have an overpopulation of humans. All 7 billion-odd humans can fit inside Texas.


You could well be right considering the amount of sh*t that fits inside your head!

You really don't know much about wildlife then, do you?


Is there ANYTHING he knows much about? :) :)

Gnostics ceased to invent gods when they declared themselves gods, DL.
Of course ...... most of us realize that we are all Gods.....some good and some cast in the molds of those of the past. It has given us power, along with putting the blame for one's actions right where it belongs..... on ourselves.

However, being Gods of one sort or another, is rather painful when combined with genetics. Well there is always the idea of more than one reality. An intermediate one where we can redesign our next existence before playing the next game of "Reality - EARTH." LOL.

My answers aren't flawed.


Take out the fantasy and supernatural garbage and you have no answers.


That is why you do not answer direct questions and deflect to your safe supernatural zone where logic and reason cannot go.


Lies and more lies of things you cannot possibly know is all you have.

. . . things you cannot possibly know is all you have.
God keeps you in the dark intentionally, that doesn't mean he does that for people that like Him. The only thing keeping you in the dark is you so don't bitch when you reap what you sow.

1Th:5:1-9:
But of the times and the seasons,
brethren,
ye have no need that I write unto you.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say,
Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.
But ye,
brethren,
are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day:
we are not of the night,
nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep,
as do others;
but let us watch and be sober.
For they that sleep sleep in the night;
and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
But let us,
who are of the day,
be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love;
and for an helmet,
the hope of salvation.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath,
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Do you think he really knows his posts are BS? I don't think he's bright enough to know. It's fun to "argue" with him though. It's like sitting beside the slow kid on the bus...

Anytime you want to shut him mention that the Queen had Diana killed.


That's a fairly strong accusation and may not be technically true and even if it is true you sure as Hell don't want to put her in high dudgeon! :) :)
