This is my first post, hopefully it doesn't get me in trouble.
What does it say about a God that indiscriminately wants everyone and everything 'saved' despite them repeatedly doing everything they can to get away from Him/not be 'saved' for as long as possible? Everything wrong that you can imagine is done, yet He still wants them back, wants them to succeed, and wants them to do good.
Sounds like the same 'God' that would call a man with 700 wives a 'wise' 'man' (that's purposely two quotes), and not only a 'wise' 'man', but the 'wisest man who ever lived,' where in another passage in the very same book he calls those who have pre-marital sex (and what this man did was far, far, disturbingly worse) fools.
This religion seems senseless in that anyone who actually follows the beliefs in it is punished in that he has to live in the same solar system even with these people, while those that do not follow these beliefs, are not only eagerly desired, but rewarded (see the prodigal son passage in the Bible -- it reeks of such turpidity and baseness that even living in the most sick and morally perverted, corrupt and outright debaucherous 'country' in the world, this is still lower as it's essentially telling people that not only did the few who did right and suffered severely for it, get nothing, but those that did everything wrong, are rewarded, and then those that did right are told you had the 'reward' [whatever that was supposed to be] all along -- sounds like a particularly demented psychopath to me).
Can anything truly good be anticipated from such a 'God'? Why call Him 'God' if he only punishes what is good in the world by 1. letting them tolerate living by the bad side-by-side 2. then rewarding those who did bad.
It's a religion of contradictions if this is the case, and this is what it more than looks like, it's what I believe to be the case at this point --
The collapse of the US economy and the massive problems that follow suit, which should have happened decades ago, is less than a slap on the wrist in comparison for what just about everyone in this country rightfully deserves.
