God hasn't caused 2000 years of misery.. MAN HAS. Why are you blaming God for the actions of mankind? I don't get it?! If people choose to kill over their belief system, how is God responsible for that? Secondly, you do NOT know what scripture means. You have an opinion, nothing more. The word is very clear.. The scripture to the fallen is folly..
I don't blame "God" for anything.
I don't think God exists.
RELIGION causes misery, because by it's definition, cannot tolerate dissent.
The fact that people went around killing each other over whether wafers really turned into Jesus or not and God did nothing about it is proof there is no God.
Second, I was really trying to be nice and quote scripture that almost makes your Sky Pixie seem like a decent fellow.
I'll admit, anyone who reads a bible that contains verses like,
"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." -- Psalm 137:9
Probably hasn't really read the bible. Just the good parts that the pastors tell you to.
"It's not the parts of the bible I don't understand that trouble me, it's the parts I understand perfectly well." - Mark Twain.
