Well for example.

Creating the universe

Making intelligent life

Saving peoples souls

etc. etc.

Gosh, you are confused, aren't you?

Any proof you've done any of that?

i wasn't talking about me. (but yes i have a tin hat)

I knew.

AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAA

Welp, my prediction (which was removed by Robot for reasons I cannot fathom) that this thread would turn into an atheist v. theist debate has come to pass...

It was the wording of the OP - I don't know any religion that casts god as a door-to-door salesman.

(insert obvious Mormom joke here)

Mormons and JW''s canvass regularly because apparantely God does not.

?

What if God was one of us?

"If god came to your house..."

The only people who call at my house uninvited are trying to sell stuff.

Awww, sounds like someone needs a hug :-)

< buzzes in > "What is, Are you sure you have the right house?"

Now they are :)

You can know for sure if you are going to heaven or hell. Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, and he will save you from eternal death in hell.

THE ONE THAT MADE YOU.

Oh yes the science god...reason proof. No theory in reproduction!

what? (he also made everything else...)

Science made rocks ..air...water...lady gaga whatever . Science saves lives in the back of an ambulance or hospital.

Yup. God made science. :)

aHEM, I do believe you mean: abiogenesis ?

Well, yeah, but "spontaneous generation" has more of the ring of "spontaneous combustion," doesn't it?

*chuckle* I suppose so:

Heh...I think I'd give God the silent treatment with a big "where ya been buddy?" quizzical look.

I am truly impressed that you've continued to feed this troll for four and a half days. You do realize that they only grow stronger the more attention you give them, right?

Which one LiRa or Caitlin's?

:-(

: )

I shall then refrain from commenting below that Mel Brooks was the 2000-year old man.

It is based upon the premise that we can't ask God any question that we like anyway. This is contradictory to religious teaching in general, and I hadn't thought that most people would need that explaining.

L

Very true.

Yes.
Do you ever ask God questions or pray?

L

It's not what you put up there.
I asked you a question and that isn't an answer.

L

What is the "If God came to your house and said that you have one question you can ask him and he will answer it what would you ask" - question that you haven't asked God yet then?

L

OK, this is interesting, now we're talking about something.
Your classic Church response is that God gave people the knowledge & free-will that was previously exclusive to God, and as such effectively delegated responsibility*.
God did "squish people with things like fire & brimstone, and floods etc. But then God decided to hang-out with humans as this chap we know as Jesus.

What question do you want an an answer to?

L

(I'm always happy, and peaceful)

*The established church likes to pass the buck and tell you that you're bad because you've not exercised your free-will properly.

Jesus saved people by hanging-out with them; it's documented that he dined with e.g. tax-agents,
"When Adam and Eve sinned why didn't God squish 'em and start over?"(like Sodom, etc?) Well, if that happened God would have screwed-up by creating man badly, and we wouldn't be having this discussion; silly thought...

i know one lived to be around 1,500 years old.

Okay.

Is it important?
It's more interesting to ponder incest and at what point that became wrong...

L

how many children did adam and eve have?
I'd rather know which ones were/weren't "getting into bed" with Adam & Eve.

L

I told you my interest (I'd rather know which ones were/weren't "getting into bed" with Adam & Eve.)

If you don't get an answer, it's usually because the question isn't phrased in the right way. Or otherwise a person doesn't understand the answer, they maybe need to learn a bit by asking other questions first.

L

Wouldn't you ask why he doesn't always answer?

I don't think there is an ible for first aid after getting hit with a lightning bolt or bolts. Someone should get on it.

he may have meant...

If you could ask Lemonie one question what would it be?
If Lemonie came to your house and said that you have one question you can ask him and he will answer it what would you ask?

At least half my friends know me by the name of "Jesus"...

L

Is that when you're moonlighting as a gardener?

:-P

Well, I could have said "carpenter," but that seemed just a little too obvious...

The Longshoreman teamsters called and said to mention the fisherman thing.

He just rakes people through the coals...wait, that's the other dude's job. How come no one has a question for him?

Coal? You mean Santa? He's been off duty for almost a week now; cut him some slack, eh?

Yup, he's got a lot of hungry trolls elves to feed.

I don't do gardening, I've still got un-raked leaves on the lawn... I know people who do though.

L

I guess you must hate it when people scream your name in the middle of the night.

No, I'm asleep in a nice rural-spot; I can't hear them.
