2. I am a serial killer and rapist for most of my life. Then on my death bed, i ask jesus for forgiveness and i get into heaven.

Neither of those sound very "just" to me. Not to mention my last point of kids suffering with things like cancer. Also doesn't sound very "loving" to me

And I'll pick just one verse of many from the bible, which proves that god is actually quite violent

Joshua 6 verse 21 -They devoted the city to the lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.

the thief on the cross next to Jesus believed at the end and Jesus said you will be with me in paradise today. We’re all human and capable of some sick shit. ALL OF US. The thing is if you believe and ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior it will transform you from the inside out. God’s Holy Spirit will reside in you. We can’t do some things on are on. That’s why we have his Holy Spirit in us to help us be more like Jesus. The verse you read in Joshua was about the Israelites taken the land from another people. Their promised land. They were chosen by God to keep his law. Jesus came and fulfilled the law. God in the Old Testament was about the law. God was made flesh in the New Testament and SAVED us from it.

Sounds pretty fucking twisted to me.

Yeah that was a tough one for me to swallow all the badness world and being such a good and just God. It actually kept me separated from being honest with myself about the good things in my life for a long time.

Sorry, I wasn't finished. God is not as busy on this planet as I would like him to be. I believe in edjucated answer was already set on here by another member. I wanna read it again. But I know that all the f**** up things that happen in his world deftly don't come from God.They deftly come from the other side or if you wanna call it satan whatever. You C sing could have been killed by God in the initial fight but then how would God of been good to kill him off. As far as I understand a bunch of angels want to God and a bunch chose to go seen. And I also do believe that are 2 angels to every one bad angel. I can really only speak for myself though and my experienced. And if I take a real honest look at all the bed things in the world in a bed things that I've done or the bed things have been done to me God was not a part of any of them and sure I wish you would have stopped them but f**** as a lot of things in this world that don't work out the way I want to

I love Norse mythology! Some theologians say that Norse Gods we’re actually fallen angles portraying themselves as gods.

Shoot I love talking about my religion and other religions. Concerning other Gods, here is a verse In
Isaiah 44:6-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

There Is No Other God

6 “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
‘I am the First and I am the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.
7 And who can proclaim as I do?
Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me,
Since I appointed the ancient people.
And the things that are coming and shall come,
Let them show these to them.
8 Do not fear, nor be afraid;
Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?
You are My witnesses.
Is there a God besides Me?
Indeed there is no other Rock;
I know not one.’ ”
