Question:
Why are religious everywhere fighting to defend God as if God is their child?

about this relationship between man and his God. Who created who? Did God create man or did man create God? The way man is behaving, I think the untold secret of this life may be that it was man who really created God. Otherwise, there won’t be this insane need to defend God by all means.

Why are religious everywhere fighting to defend God as if God is their child?

Are the Gods crying that ordinary mortals they created are ridiculing them? Are the tears of the Gods drowning people and threatening to swallow the earth unless laws are passed abolishing the right of any man to look at the Gods with a bad eye?

I don’t get it.

I believe something is really twisted in the mind of anyone who thinks that he has to fight to protect his God.

For God’s sake, when did God stop being God? If a God cannot protect himself, he should retire.

The world is full of retired Gods. Zeus, Oduduwa, Apollo, Amadioha, Juno, Fa, Mukuru, Wele etc once had lots of followers. They have since retired. Those who did not want to retire were quietly retired by the Pope in Rome, an Archbishop in Canterbury and an Imam in Mecca. Some were retired by children of these Gods - people like Benson Idahosa, Enoch Adebayo, Emmanuel Ede, Chris Oyakhilome, David Oyedepo, William Kumuyi, Ejike Mbaka, Mattew Ashimolowo, Helen Ukpabio, Mike Okonkwo, Temitope Joshua, amongst others. So it is not an unheard phenomenon that Gods who cannot defend themselves should retire.

I reserve the right to give the Gods a middle finger. And I think you should, too. After all, the Gods have been giving us the middle finger since Creation. If not, how do you explain the craziness of this world?

I will not worship a God that will need me to defend him whenever someone abuses him. If I need a simpleton, I will worship the earthworm.

Why are we so screwed up? It is such a shame what we have allowed religion to turn us into. Two thousand years ago, none of these head-butting religions were important in the scheme of things. And two thousand years from now, a new set of Gods with their new age religions will be rocking the earth. The people who will inhabit the earth then will look at our days and call it the Dark Ages. They will ask, “What was the fuss all about?

All you defenders of the Gods who are willing to murder other human beings, I say, shame on you! Is God your child? Is God your wife? Why must you keep a gun to defend your God?

I bet you that the Gods are ashamed of anyone who is out there killing other humans in Gods’ name. If the Gods want to kill all nonbelievers, they do not need your guns or your machetes. The Gods can use Ebola, fire, earthquake, water, and cancer. The Gods have so many weapons they can use.

Remember the plagues- smallpox, Spanish flu, typhus, Black Death etc. All together, they killed hundreds of millions of people. Did the Gods need you to wipe off millions of people?

When I die and get to heaven, if I see any of these men who are killing people in the name of defending their Gods, I will turn back.

The Gods must be crazy if they let men like Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri into heaven. Please correct me if I’m right. lol

Wow, is it really? You think this is a breaking news or something? What you don't know can be dangerous sometimes. Before watching the news try to get some information and feed your skull a little. Do you know about the blue line (blue border)? Yeah baby, Israel cross it every single day killing and kidnapping lebanese from their country and drag them back to what is called "Israel". When Hezbollah got sick of what Israel does everyday, they decided to take a shot. Kidnap two soldiers. Israel didn't like it so the war is on. you see now who hit the other first? and by the way, the crap about god gave israeilies a land is not true. You look that up becasue i don't have all day to educate you.

Well said. Primitive men thought that one blasphemer would bring down God's wrath on the whole community, so on that basis they justify punishing the man to appease God's wrath. So God's arm is too short to defend his own honor, or for some reason God needs flattery and is wounded by a man's insult. If either is true then God is pretty pathetic and vulnerable to the whims of his creation.

Dont let everyone mislead you, GOD doesn't need our protection. He cries when he loses one of us being HIS sons adopted into HIS Family but he is a merciful GOD and by no means is everything HIS fault, it says that the devil comes only to steal and destroy but I have come that you may have life and have it in abundance. HE DOESN'T BY ANY MEANS WANT ANYONE KILLING ANYONE! Just everyone loving each other in peace like he planned it. He is not some wrathful form that sent diseases to earth. HE gives a home to those who ask. Im sorry if I've come off ignorant, but If I can ever promise you one thing it is that HE loves you, he doesn't want everyone killing and pillaging in his name, HE wants everyone spreading love freely, to those you hate, jerks, homosexuals, absolutely everyone. It is proven that JESUS actually did exist and if he has wise things to say despite everyone misleading it why wouldn't we listen to it. If its worth finding the love and joy I have then just pick up a bible sometime and preferably just start reading the new testament it changed my life and I can promise it will change yours. If nothing else, isn't it worth just at least checking out despite how all the people have altered the true meaning you can go directly to the source and find out for yourself. He said love your neighbor and everyone else just like you love yourself. Love the homosexuals, look at the broken homeless old man and tell him his riches are in heaven, or even the prostitute and tell her shes beautiful. People defend GOD because they love him, just the same way you would defend your Brother, Sister, or your Mother or Father. Its changed my life, i'm not trying to sound ignorant and im sorry if I got anyone mad, hope you find the same Unbelievable Joy I have found in the Love I have discovered in GOD! :D Heres a great poem from a Christian writer its about people being hypocrites but he loves his GOD despite what people have done. http://robert4tnr.blogspot.com/2010/03/chris-tse-im-sorry-im-christian.html



Thanks and GOD Bless Friend! :D

Why do G men protect Obama if he is the president? God can take the worst of the worst & make something good out of them if they are willing to be recreated by the master of all creation remember that Jesus came for the sinner not the righteous.

God is not my child for I am his child. In a Christian and I believe that it's my duty as one to spread gods word to everyone so they too can know the awesome healing power of Jesus Christ.

god is not a child, it is a friend, a father, and a moral indicator. that is why they defend the belief so much. if only they weren't so misled, i'd find it admirable.

gods = our dreams, hopes, fears, and insecurities.

gods are made up of the best and worst of us.



Obviously, strong feelings will surround such topics.

People have to defend their gods because they don't exist to defend themselves.
