What if God, wanting to demonstrate His patience, bore with great patience to objects of His wrath?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Then I would say that God doesn't hate those things but rather sees them as necessary for getting his desires and thus he wants them and doesn't hate them.
Of course, it's all rather silly for an omnipotent God. Besides who is God demonstrating his patience to. This so-called patience is just supposition to justify a concept of God.

Only toke me 1 year to work out how to change this
Much like a firefighter starting fires to put out, that would make him a villian rather than a hero.

I was refering to the God of the bible. In the bible, the sovereign God of the bible hates sin. But of course, you cannot know that.

God is not equivalent to a man. the differences in between the two negates your example.

Of course I can know that. I was a Christian the majority of my life.
I'm just pointing out that your assertion that God hates and that God gets what he wants is inconsistent. If he tolerates evil to get his purposes, then this tolerance is inconsistent with omnipotence. That he is showing patience is theistic wibble excusing God's inaction.
