"Do not put the Lord your God to the test."

That's what Jesus says when Satan tries to convince him to jump off a cliff because "Surely God will send angels to save your life".

God is meant to be whatever is unprovable and convenient for a given argument.

"If the Christian God was real, wouldn't he certainly intervene if something like nuclear war was about to happen?"

The Christian God? The same one that supposedly drowned everyone indiscriminately with the foreknowledge that it wasn't an actual solution to the "sin problem" he claimed he was fixing? The same one that supposedly had the power to create the whole of existence, but somehow didn't have the power to outright forgive sin without making an eons long show of it, that ended with Jesus claiming you can just lump your misdeeds on someone else and punish them instead of bearing responsibility for your misdeeds yourself?

Well, sheep don't intentionally jump off cliffs going "Are you REALLY my shepherd? I bet you aren't. Stop me from jumping off this cliff, I bet you won't!"

But as for why X happens or why Z doesn't happen? Don't know. Still doing some reading myself.

Incidentally, anyone seriously trying to tell you when the world is ending is full of bunk (Tvgelical preachers LOVE this technique). No one knows when all of this is coming to an end.

Like even global warming (Which I absolutely believe in) doesn't exactly have a precise date on when we're fucked and exactly how fucked we're going to be then.

maybe not, but they're 100% susceptible to being claimed by other shepherds.

unless your whole belief system rests on other shepherds not existing, then...

I've been getting Jehovah Witness flyers about once a week the last couple months and it talks all about how the rapture is coming. Ive been throwing them out but I'll take a pic of the next one for CE

I do think anyone looking forward to the end of the world is off their rocker. These people think "I want to experience the Rapture so I can look down on all the sinners!"

Except... if that's how your heart is, you're gonna be with those sinners.

Of course a lot of the time the "The rapture is going to happen next week!" types are also saying "But if you pay me enough, perhaps you'll be saved..."

And if God were to man what man is to sheep, he'd be able to pull it off regardless.

Herding animals is all about outsmarting them and playing with instincts, you'd think the guy who claims omniscience and who actually programmed those instincts wouldn't be such a shit shepherd.

Not to mention in response to the dude's statement what the fuck was he doing in the Old Testament then when he was involving himself in literally everything.

@Umbreon
Yeah and the idea of being stuck here on earth with a bunch of butthurt Christians who thought they were going to be raptured and weren't sounds rather hellish.

Who's to say it was? Think about it. 4,000+ religions, none proven to be the "right" one, so how any person honestly say "My religion that I just happened to born into is the right religion, and all the others are false, and those fake believers will pay for their wrong beliefs!"
