What causes god to press the smite-o-matic button?

R&S...collectively

Everytime someone logs on, I'm sure the smite-o-matic is activated..

I think it possibly has something to do with impulse control issues. God can't stand to be disobeyed no matter how nonsensical his commands. Too much disobedience causes him to impulsively activate his smite-o-matic device. Unfortunately for him he made his creation incapable of understanding what he really wants. So it's a self fulfilling process, and even God is bound by his fate.

That is if you believe what the Theists are selling. Me, I think they've got the Gods pegged all wrong. They're just apathetic and clumsy in my view, not some metaphorical 2 year old having a temper tantrum for not getting their way. If they exist at all that is.

p.s. post Jesus God seems to have metaphorically moved on to being a 4 year old: more hugs, less tantrums. I'm not looking forward to his metaphorical teen years, all that death metal and the appocalyse which comes with his pessimism.

I hope this helps.

A better question would be..."What keeps God from pressing the smite-o-matic button." Perhaps it is because He loves even you who mock Him? Yeah...I think so.

White, heterosexual and conservative Christians. Why, their sins are uncountable, poly-cotton jackets, failing to burn bulls, shaving, not covering their heads in church, and all while claiming to be believers in Yahweh no less. They'll have to be smited right away!

Christians

They put it under the ledge of his desk, and he keeps hitting it with his knee.

That whole Noah thing? Yep, just turning to talk to the guy in the next cubicle.

I guess god just is playing a video game and just keeps pressing cause he's hooked.

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit

Lying to God

Be careful...

could you just skooch over a bit so I don't get smite all over me when G-d has had enough?

I think it's based on the same mechanics that Yahoo uses when it decides to violate you and delete your questions. In other words, there is no rhyme or reason.
