(In response to: Why does God Allow so many children to die every day?)---
Most are better off dying innocent rather than becoming God hating adults like you. "It is better" to chop off body parts than to go where you will FOREVER.

Better off dead than god-hating adults? Well, atheist don't actually believe in god, so isn't that a bit like hating the Easter Bunny or Santa?
And an inordinate amount of children die due to the decisions their parents make based on their (wait for it) religion. You know, parents who let their kids die because prayer is the only medicine they need, or some bullshit like that.
God and religion have killed more children than polio.
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off."
A couple of questions.
1. If I have a wank and cut off the hand that wanked. Then I have a wank with the remaining hand how do I cut that hand off?
2. Would it be better to cut off my dick and keep both my hands?
3. Would it be better if I had sex with a woman thereby keeping both my hands and my dick.
4. If I'm not married to the woman I had sex with should I kill her for making me sin?
"To enter life" I find this phrase unsettling. I guess I just find it hard to believe that anyone can take their whole lives for granted because they believe this isn't all there is.
I feel bad for the honest people duped by this type of thinking.
(edit for clarification - I do realize its a verse, but people do think it for real)
So you're saying that God knows who will become a sinner and just kills 'em before they get the chance? If so, why are there any sinners? Is God just lousy at predicting? Maybe He just kills babies at random and say "well, some of them would have been sinners anyway" - kind of like Arnaud Amaury, who was famously said to have told his troops at the siege of Beziers to "Kill them all. God knows which ones are His" or Osama Bin Laden, who dismissed the killing of fellow Muslims on 9/11 by saying they were in Paradise before they hit the floor".
Also, since Jesus said that baptism is required for admission to heaven (Mark 16:16), wouldn't allowing them to die before baptism condemn them to hell anyway?
Since I neither love nor hate Bible God I should be OK. Perhaps that's why Bible God did not allow me to die as a child? It's probably because I'm so brill and much admired by the nutty ol' King of the Universe.
I wonder if internet-tourettes is a natural progression for sufferers of Bible-tourettes? 'Course, it could also be a natural progression, as it mostly is in my case, for a sufferer from silent thought-only-tourettes. Oo er, fancy that.
re #1576353
God dammit I hate Christians...
Somebody should just round them the fuck up and gas them with Zyklon.

Okay! Sinful body parts are amputated, got it.
Now, where did I put that guillotine...
Well, why doesn't god preemptively remove all "god hating" adults, then? If god was consistent and thorough, none would exist. Really if god wanted to "save" everyone, just don't let anyone be born. It's always better to be with Jesus, after all. God needs to quit being so lazy and wishy washy...
This is one thing that has always absolutely baffled me about fundies. They hate abortion, and yet... according to them aborted foetuses go to heaven. At least, that's what Jack Chick says. That's what I've seen several comments in addition to this one say. Surely it's better to die immediately and go straight to the nicest place in existence than it is to spend several years in an inferior place beforehand, and worse yet, potentially stray from God and thus be doomed to hell? I mean, it's pure, unadulterated idiocy.
@aebars
Indeed. Also, if aborted fetuses go straight to heaven, doesn't that run a coach and horses through the doctrine of Original Sin? If an aborted fetus can go straight to heaven, then humans cannot be inherently sinful. Not only, then, is there no need to baptize them except as a mark of joining the church, but, more importantly, Christ's mission for the redemption of Original Sin is rendered futile. Now, the doctrine of Original Sin is based on Paul's view in Romans 5, but nowhere in the New Testament does it say anything about aborted fetuses. So, the conclusion I draw from that is that if you believe aborted fetuses go straight to heaven, you have abandoned any belief in the traditional understanding of Christianity, be it Catholic or Protestant.
GUARANTEED WAY TO SAVE NON-BELIEVERS:
1. Round up a bunch of non-believers.
Voila! They all die in a state of grace. You've just saved them all from the flames of hell!
Since god apparently made us in his own image, and he is all-good, all-powerful, and all-knowing, how come we're worthless pieces of crap sinners? Wouldn't that make HIM something similar? If he's so damn powerful and good, and knows we everything we will do before we do it, why couldn't he just make us good? Why does he allow sin to exist? Isn't he all-powerful? Why can't he eliminate it?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
