And for those that think that fighting is wrong - Tell that to the Arch Angel Michael when he and his Legions cast Lucifer and his Legions from the walls of Heaven. I think a little fighting went on there in Heaven itself, sponsored by God.

Yes, but Jesus said blessed the Peacemakers, and the one who lives by sword, thus with a sword dies...........we also pick and choose, you know. And following your logic, God is much more sex-friendly you mean to promote. Actually, when Adam and Eve had kids, in an incestuous relationship, or when Solomon had 100 wives, or when Abraham had a kid with his maid...........

Yeah, the whole war/rebellion that Gawd either didn't foresee/couldn't prevent (so much for his claims of omniscience and omnipotence) or chose to let happen... So, is your Sky Fairy impotent, malevolent, or both?
A lot of fighting went on in Middle Earth as well, but at least it made more sense and accomplished more in the long run. If you're going to read fantasy, you might as well read GOOD fantasy.
ANd wasn't that brilliant? God invents heaven, heavenly angels, and in no time, one third of them rebel and revolt, touching off a war in heaven, teh one place where everything is 'perfect'.
Coming next fall to this network:
Well, one doesn't have to look in the Bible very long to find many examples of fighting incited, endorsed and sponsored by God. That's not a good thing, fucktard.
I never understood why Lucifer, a benevolent creature, highest of the serephim, second only to God himself, would decide to rise against God if he had no chance of victory. So, maybe, if I'm lucky, good ol' Lucy will prevail in the end
@Genghis Jon: Well, you could look at it in two ways. One, from the Christian standpoint, says that Lucifer did it out of overconfidence and pride (since pride is supposed to be Lucifer's defining Deadly Sin). Somehow Lucifer thought that he COULD take on God, since he was, after all, the highest archangel and had a large army at his disposal.
However, you could also look at it from another viewpoint, namely, that Lucifer knew that it was a lost cause but decided to keep on fighting anyway, like the Spartans at Thermopylae. Of course, if you mention that standpoint, which presents Satan in a more heroic light, to fundies, they'd probably go into hysterics and call you a rabid heathen Satanist.

Y'know, there's a whole schtick in Christian theology where adding things to the Bible that weren't put there by the Synod of Hippo is considered blasphemy. And all the "war in heaven", fallen-angel crap? None of it's in the Bible. There are some political diatribes disguised as tripped-out prophetic visions in order to fly under the radar, and bits of all of them have been sewn together into that hot-dog-like abomination of a theology called...well, mainstream Western Protestant theology, depressingly enough.
You may be a fundie when your beliefs are blasphemous by your own stated standards and you still insist that everyone who contradicts you is objectively evil.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
