It is amazing and stupefying what people will believe when fantasy becomes reality to them. If God loved His creation (man) and wanted to prevent them from destroying themselves (because ALL the men suddenly wanted other men instead of their women), why didn’t he just wave His hand and make them all straight again. Why, wipe out everyone (including the women and children – the innocents in all this)?
And once again, let’s not forget: God knows all past, present, and future. That said, he had to have foreseen this from well before He ever created man and knew he’d destroy it all. Unfortunately, He didn’t destroy procreation which is where all us gay people originate – the sexual union of a man and a woman.
Oh, how easily the fantasy can be torn apart.

This is the meanest, nastiest god these idiots believe in. If this is true (and I don’t believe in fairy tales) than the devil is a viable alternative. I always believed that the religious perverts actually worshiped the devil, they just don’t know it, yet!

This god in which these people believe, is worse than Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, etc. They tortured and killed people. These people would have us believe their god loves everyone, but if people don’t do what he wants, he kills people, sends disasters, and tortures them forever after they have died. Yet these people believe in him and want everyone else to believe in him as well and to do what they say he wants them to do. These people sound more than a bit off to me.

IF THERE TRULY WERE AN ALL-LOVING, ALL-KNOWING, ALL-POWERFUL GOD—
He would not have created many different religions that fight over whose is the correct one.
He would not have permitted the stealing, raping & killing during the Crusades to take place in the name of religion.
He would not have permitted the burnings-at-the-stake for heresy to take place in the name of religion.
He would not have permitted the terrible discrimination against women throughout history to take place in the name of religion.
He would not have permitted the Salem Witch Trials to take place in the name of religion.
He would not have created black people to be used as slaves by white people in the name of religion.
He would not have created gays and lesbians to be insulted, fired from jobs, beaten, and murdered brutally in the name of religion.
He would not have permitted Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland to kill each other for so many years in the name of religion.
He would not permit Muslims to hate non-Muslims and foment wars against them in the name of religion.
He would not permit Christians to force their beliefs on non-Christians, using torture to do so many times in history, in the name of religion.
He would never permit natural disasters to kill thousands of people every year.
He would never permit people to be homeless or go hungry.
He would never permit people to get hooked on drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sugar or even food.
He would never permit corrupt governments and businesses to thrive.
He would never have permitted over-population to get so out of control as it now is.
He would never have permitted human suffering from horrible diseases.
He WOULD HAVE made sex a totally loving, spiritual experience, free from taboo, disease, paranoia, judgment, discrimination and guilt.

Basically, isn’t God running a classic protection racket? In essence, He says, “If you praise me enough, I’ll “protect” you from the ultimate horror of eternal torture.”

This man is suggesting that EVERYONE on the earth was turning gay and that heterosexual sex and the human race were therefore on the way out. Leaving aside the absurdity of thinking that the story of Noah and his Ark is history, if this infinitely unlikely scenario had really been the case, what need would there have been for a flood to wipe out the human race? The complete lack of logic in the thinking of nincompoops like him is simply astounding.
