Ever since the Bible ended we haven't heard jack-squat from God, and it makes us feel deprived. Back in the Bible days people heard from God rather often. Why did he let the Bible end? This is a dire plea to religion scholars for advice and counseling.

Hey! When he told them to do the lord's prayer, how come he didn't tell them to do that one in the closet? Matthew 6:9.

Thereby avoiding the bad consequence of thousands of infants and school-age children drowning to death?

Not to mention the unhappy consequence that many of the bad people eventually died natural deaths, rather than deaths by drowning, before Noah managed to get the boat built?

(Here's another thing too. As you probably know Noah was an alcoholic and a pervert -- as long as the God wanted to drown people for wickedness, shouldn't Noah himself have been one of the guys drowned? All in all you got to wonder how clearly the God was thinking this through don't you?)

To avoid his wrath and damnation in a hereafter? We need to placate God don't you agree? Rather than antagonize him. Thus, if you come on here saying God is bad, and citing biblical episodes, don't you see he may read your question, and get pissed off, and it will not go well for you in a hereafter or whatever?

Therefore it would behoove you not to blame him for any evil things, and above all don't tell anyone on here he's bad. You see what I'm getting at? Earnest replies appreciated.

I am considering asking questions that pander to the church people. For the time being.

Would this be a good idea? Anyone else on here been getting these dire notices from Yahoo? I must say I am dismayed. Earnest replies appreciated.

Reason I ask is because I was visualizing a congregation where everybody was having secret doubts about religion. But nobody knew anybody else was.

So they all continued on in their holy fervor, and there was nothing amiss. And it was actually rather charming and joyful. As long as everybody seems to believe it's all good isn't it?

Earnest replies appreciated.

If you followed all the arguments between Jesus and the Pharisees, and especially the one where they got Jesus all riled up by hinting he was born of fornication, and so he vehemently denounced them as children of Satan.

Now look, Jesus still lives. Somewhere. Pharisees are totally extinct. Ain't that something!

Don't you find the whole thing a little suspicious? For example the time Jesus supposedly went walking upon a stormy sea. First of all he would have been bobbing a lot. What holy man would want to be seen bobbing like that? Sure, he calmed the sea by virtue of his holy command -- by then he was in a boat.

I could go on and on telling you about odd episodes that don't make any sense. Don't you find the whole thing a little suspicious? Earnest replies appreciated.

God taunts David telling him his neighbor will make love to his wives in the light of day. What kind of a god would do stuff like this? Earnest replies appreciated.

To make matters worse, what if you find their kingdom halls creepy, what do you do? Is this a dilemma or what?

If free-will is only good for choosing right from wrong, and it doesn't do anything to achieve holy belief in supernatural items, what good is it?

When the God was designing free-will, how do you explain he screwed up like this, and apparently didn't even notice his screw-up

I do admit that the god has has a lot of supernatural items going for him. and yet I got to ask, do the believers ever wonder what if they're wrong?

Consider also this, what good is the supernatural paraphernalia if it doesn't match up with real science?

Apparently you're stuck with the personality you were born with. What's free about that? Huh?

Have they ever stopped to consider the possibility that they could be wrong?

If there really is a god, fine, no problem. Anyway the people that don't believe in it don't waste all their time and effort not believing in it because they don't need to.

On the other hand, people that do believe in it spend a large portion of their time and effort and resources showing everybody they believe in it. All that is wasted if actually no god exists.

So my question to them is, what if you're wrong?

Why do you suppose both gods agree on this -- or could it be that both religions are ruled by the same god?

Or could it be that will-power and free-will are two different things? If so, please compare and contrast the two. Thank you kindly.

Obviously Muslims pray more, but it could be Christians show great fervor in other ways. Which religion comes out on top, with greater faith, would you say?
