we have a say in what *we* do but no say (apart from uninformed opinions) about what God should do. Phat writes:
The Book also explains what we *must* do to be saved - but you don't mind throwing that part away.
the Book explains how we *should* relate to God and Jesus... Phat writes:

Phat]As if humanity has not caused all wars and economic crashes!
Everything good that has happened to humanity was also caused by humanity. Humanity has cured diseases that God created. Stop hating humanity so much."Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." -- motto of the Special Olympians

It only takes a sentence to take down a troll.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

That would take self-reflection. I don't think he is actually capable of that.

I am as capable of it as anyone here. I took your advice Percy. Thank you. Thank you both.
Its not easy to change for the better. Apparently, it is far easier to get worse. And how does one simply change the emotional reactions that they find bottled up within them?Edited by Phat, . "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You

If they are due to your diabetic blood sugar issues then there is likely nothing you can do, at least nothing that a layperson could suggest. If you visit any of the many diabetic websites they all say that blood sugar issues can cause mood swings resulting in brain fog, irritability, impulsivity, aggression, and irrationality, among a host of other mental symptoms. Talk to your doctor. --Percy

Let me guess ... you eventually label every theist on this site a "troll"?

Next thing you know, they will change the wording on the money to "In Gods We Trust".

No just the trolls. If you stop acting like a troll, I will stop calling you a troll. But we both know that will never happen.
Your final question just solidifies even more that all you are doing is trolling.
