If there is a just God, we are in a shit load of trouble.

[kentuck]

We will follow the false prophets and live in poverty with the animals. We will be sick with no one to care for us. We will be ignorant with no one to teach us. We will be hungry with no one to feed us. If there is a just God, we will pay for the violence and killing we have spread in the world. We will pay for rejoicing at the sorrows of others. We will pay for the greed in our hearts. If there is a just God, what does He/She have in store for us?

1. Well, if Junior is the Antichrist, then the Busheep are in for....

....a very very warm future :grr: Unfortunately, it also means the rest of us are dragged along for the Tribulation. :(

[independentchristian]

6. Junior is not the antichrist

The antichrist will be a charismatic figure that will be able to rally the entire world behind his cause.

That alone should let you know that Bush is not him.

[leanin_green]

27. No, he's the Beast.

He's laying the groundwork for the Antichrist. Someone who will be perceived as a savior. Someone who will bring 'peace' in our time, or so it will seem.

[EVDebs]

2. LMFAO ... in a most reverent way of course ! eom/

[pscot]

3. We have no evidence that "god" is just

in fact, quite the opposite,
"for know ye, that shit raineth upon the just and unjust alike".

[cornermouse]

4. What's with this "we"?

If there is a just God, the correct pronoun is "they".

[Anakin Skywalker]

5. Thank You.

My hands are clean. :)

[kentuck]

7. I wish it were true...

But just as the sons pay for the sins of their fathers, we will all pay for the sins of the capitalist pigs and their offspring.

[fooj]

8. True. However, I find comfort in knowing that Shrub...

will be held ACCOUNTABLE someday! They will all be held accountable! That works for me!

[FreedomAngel82]

16. I wish I could be there for the show

of that! But probably won't.

[cornermouse]

9. Oh no we won't.

You want to volunteer for punishment, I won't stop you. Just don't expect me to agree. I didn't want him and I didn't vote for him. I refuse to be punished for something that I did NOT do.

[kentuck]

10. And just how are you going to escape?

We cannot hide.

[cornermouse]

11. Who said anything about hiding?

I happen to believe that God is capable of detecting and protecting the innocent (me).

If you want the old testament "strike em dead where they stand" version, that's your choice, not mine.

On edit: And since you seem to prefer the old testament version, may I suggest you start hunting for some sackcloth and ashes...

[kentuck]

13. With a name like cornermouse....

How can we not heed your advice? :)

[cornermouse]

14. lol

:)

[quaker bill]

19. You may well be protected

in ways you do not expect and are not entirely comfortable with.

God can occasionally "protect" us through a calling to much harder work.

[RafterMan]

12. Fortunately

there isn't.

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Lots of karma

So who knows?

[Democrat Dragon]

17. About this quote

"If there is a just God, what does He/She have in store for us?"

God doesn't do bad things to good people, satan does. * is with satan.

[quaker bill]

18. All I can say is duck.

I mean it. Learn how to grow your own food. I am serious.

Krugman said to "buy gold". The man was not kidding.

[autorank]

20. Imagine how stupid we'd have to be to think Shakespeare's characters are

dieties. That's what we're dealing with here folks, fictional characters in dramas across the world that turn out to be our "gods."

We are making our own returns right now, no God needed, thank you very much.

[charles_nys]

21. What does God have in store ...

the return of his son, whether you choose to believe it or not we are watching the unfolding of Bible prophesy written thousands of years ago in the book of Daniel and Revelation which states the last and final empire to rule the world, will be the revived roman empire or as presently known, the EU.

[Democrat Dragon]

22. If I can recall

there was somehthing about religion being the whore of government\big business. Both would do evil together, but at the last moment, government\big business would betray religon and persecute it.

How this could happen:

The theocrats and the corporati$t$ take over the world together. As the theocrats wait for the rapture, the corporati$t$ seize the moment to put themselves on the top of the GOP and win the decades-long power struggle.

[leanin_green]

28. It's called the Great Falling Away or Church Apostate.

It is prophecied that there will be a great many so-called Christians that will fall away from the church. Not the physical church, mind you, but the figurative church teachings. This could be argued is happening now with the uniting of the fundies and government. This is against the teachings they espouse. "For the love of the world is hatred with God."
Not the earth, but the world of men.

You could be right about them turning on the theocrats. I've always got the feeling that they are just being used. bush is someone who learned the language but never took it to heart.

[janx]

23. Don't you DARE come in here and make jokes or spew

your hatred for our country.

Don't you dare.

We are not an empire, and this country was NEVER founded to be an empire. So either you come here to cause trouble or you are an enemy of the United States.

Which is it?

[janx]

We're taking it back.

24. An ill fated future is whot is in store for us miserable humans

who cannot, will not, install the right system to acquire good leaders.

We are so blind we make the 3 mee sez look good. At least they can run.

[DemoTex]

26. Opihi and Kentuck are right on .. and I agree.

But then we are some of the seniors on DU. Verb sap!
