Get the Flock outa here! [Spirituality & Religion]

Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne declared the River Tampa Church in Florida would "never close" during his fire-and-brimstone sermon on Monday, despite being urged to do so after at least 86 US deaths.
Now I dont know about the rest of you. But I see this as proof that either God doesnt exist, or he is a real S O B for letting this moron continue to breathe.🤔

How in the world of logic does that prove that a God does not exist, apart from to a limited or highly prejudiced intelligence?
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Speedyman By the same logic that if you as a rational human saw a three year old in a kindergarten running around swinging a machette you would take it from them and stop them. Any reasonable person would, before they hurt someone.

Yes but let’s take it if this guy is completely wrong in what he’s doing, how does that prove God does not exist?@whowasthatmaskedman

@Speedyman God is suposedly the ultimate "grown Up" in the Universe and therefore is duty bound to intervene as an adult wgeb one of his representatives here on earth is playing with matches in a fuel depot. If not. god is NOT the all seeing, all caring being it says in the brochure. You dont like it? Fine. Prove me wrong.

So you do not believe in free will I suppose? What about all the people who are going in pubs and clubs against the advice of the medical profession? Do you think they ought to be stopped by the military?@whowasthatmaskedman

@Speedyman I believe that all freedom is balanced withg responsibility. Just as if a man owns a gun, he is responsible for keepint it safe at all times and handling it wisely. In the same way, religion grants God the freedom of omnipotnece and with that comes the responsibility to act and intervene if that power is used unwisely in his namem as in this cae.. Further. I never claimed that the faithfull were the only mentally deficient people out there. Anti Vaccers will be bitching about a vaccine when it does arrive. However. This is about god and the shepherd. Not the stupid sheep. You can expect no better from them.

Of course I believe freedom is balanced with responsibility. But if you’re going to say that a certain believer flouting the rules is an indication there is no God you have to say that unbelievers flouting the rules is an indication there is a God by the same so-called logic. I’m not commenting about whether the man concerned is right or wrong I am just commenting on your logic@whowasthatmaskedman

@Speedyman No. I am going to say that when one who calls himself ones of gods salesmen on earth and has a following steps so far out of line, then god has the responsibility to fire that salesman in a rather spectacular way that solves the question of his existence for all time. Lightening happens all the time. How hard is it for god to nudge a bolt this guys way.?

So if God killed everyone who got it wrong the earth would rapidly be depopulated and we wouldn’t be having this conversation? @whowasthatmaskedman

@Speedyman There is a massive difference between "getting it wrong" and destroying the Brand, which is what this moron is doing. He is deliberately placing his whole congregation and their families at risk.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Where did you read about this?@whowasthatmaskedman
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Well what about all the unbelievers continuing to use gyms and bars? Should God zap them? @whowasthatmaskedman
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Speedyman Last time I looked they did not claim to represent god on earth. I dont mind his flock being dummies. They might as well be fleeced by him as anyone. But HE would be called out byu any god worth his salt.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Nor does Rodney Howard Browne @whowasthatmaskedman
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Speedyman You read it. I am done with you on the subject.

You are pretty ridiculous. Typical! One minister among thousands and guys like you apparently think he speaks for everyone And make the ridiculous assertion a God doesn’t exist. How can anyone even begin to reason with such twisted logic! 🤣🤣🤣@whowasthatmaskedman
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Speedyman Go complain to the bearded white guy in the sky. Maybe hes in a smoting mood today. But you have never argued logic. You cant win one point so you retreat to the next and so it goes. Troll time.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
1. You’re the one who’s complaining
2. You’re the one who is totally lacking in any form of logic
3. You’re the one who is now trolling.
4. You’re the one who is continuing a pointless argument you have lost entirely @whowasthatmaskedman

@Speedyman LOL! If you really believe that, you're even more deluded than I thought.
Speedyman · 70-79, M

Speedyman · 70-79, M
Well I’ll leave you to laugh it off. When someone like you said I’m wrong I know I must be right!😁@Sharon
