If God isn't just, he isn't good.

I disagree (Ps. 65:4).

Nephilim were on the earth (Ge 6:4). What are ya gonna do? Ge 6:9. You’ll become one yourself soon (Re 14:9-10).

That was funny (2 Ki 2:23–25). He’s coming back by the way (Re 11). Are you gonna call the next guy baldy to his face? Don’t do that.

Did they love God or his prophets?

Heath_Tierney Wrote:  God is unjust…

In hell you’ll realize that you’re getting what you deserve--you’ll still hate him --but you won’t call him unjust (Deut. 32:4).

Heath_Tierney Wrote:  Sorry, I don't see the humour in the slaughter of 42 children.

Heath_Tierney Wrote:  The fact that you don't puts to rest, once and for all, the whole "religion gives people better morals" thing.

Heath_Tierney Wrote:  I don't hate God, because God doesn't exist either.
