Being Angry Can Kill You



Man is supposed to have been created in the image of God, correct? What does the creation account given in Genesis say, something along the lines of in the image of God He created them, male and female? So, let us consider some of the attributes of God, for if we are in His image it just might behoove us to study His character traits as presented in the Bible in order that we may better understand ourselves.

What are some of the better attributes of God's personality and character? Well, there is creativity if you consider the creation in general. Sociability if you consider the creation of man. Diversity if you consider the variety found in nature AND in human thought and philosophy. Protective if you consider the pillar of fire that traveled with the children of Israel as they fled Egypt. The list goes on and on, correct? But are there any bad attributes?

What is part of life but a grand collection of attributes and ideals and habits and thoughts and things that stand in contrast to each other? For everything that IS, for everything that exists there can usually be found something opposite and this is no different when it comes to God. For all of the good qualities that God is said to possess, to include love, when it comes to the opposing qualities it is God's anger that should concern man the most.

Are you in the image of God? If you wish to be counted as being made in the image of God all of His finer attributes sound swell, but that most negative attribute of anger often quells and trumps the happiness and love. Anger has a way of changing an individual, a group, a family, a belief, a nation...even a God. You name it and it is highly likely that if anger is present the situation WILL be affected negatively as will people, outcomes, responses...everything.

The bottom line is that the greater the grasp of anger on a person/situation the greater the damage done by the vicious imprint left by the anger.

Anger itself CAN be useful but it must be used sparingly lest the abuse of such anger metastasize into an absolutely horrific character trait that, once out of control exhibits a voracious appetite for the total control of others. At its very worst anger can drive the individual/individuals into a dark place that commands, demands, directs, steers, and guides everything and everyone by fear. This anger sees and hears and feels and wants nothing more than more of itself and this ALWAYS ends one tragic way: in full-blown rage and death.

Anger is God's number one problem. The imbalance and imperfection suffered by God because of His recurring bouts of absolute rage and the depth of His anger have not only marred what could and should be very good lessons and messages in the Bible, but this most wicked of attributes has placed a terrible stranglehold on mankind.

Anger kills and we see this every day in some form or other. While this is the truth it must also be remembered that there is also great good in the world and great love that are both readily available and experienced by many. Look inside of yourself and not just because it sounds like a nice thing to do, but because to change something that is affected by anger or that is the effect of anger, well...you are best served by starting from within.

When it comes to starting from within you should take a look at what you believe and why you believe it. Do you believe in a God of love or do you believe in a God of rage? A good clue would be for you to listen to the things you are praying for. Not too long ago I heard a friend of mine praying fervently that God unleash His wrath on the gays/lesbians and on the politicians who support legislation FOR equal rights for the gays/lesbians.

Unleash His wrath. That is what she prayed for, that God bring down the mighty who pursue all things against God, and then raise up all those who are humble and who adhere very tenaciously to the Word of God. It wasn't necessarily just the part about asking for God to unleash His wrath but how she said it. "Lord, unleash your wrath! Show them your terrible anger! Strike down the mighty who care not for your Word, Lord! Be merciful and replace those who are humble in Your Word and in Your eyes into the places of power and leadership! Bring this country back to where it was founded, Lord, on your word!"

 Show them your terrible anger? Have you ever wondered what God's terrible anger looks like?

Jeremiah 36:7, says, "Perhaps they will bring their petition before the LORD and will each turn from their wicked ways, for the anger and wrath pronounced against this people by the LORD are great."

 Ezekiel 7:12, says, "Yes, the time has come; the day is here! Buyers should not rejoice over bargains, nor sellers grieve over losses, for all of them will fall under my terrible anger."

 Job 16:9, says, "God hates me and angrily tears me apart. He snaps His teeth at me and pierces me with His eyes."

 Lord, unleash your wrath? Have you ever seen God's wrath unleashed?

Psalm 78:49, says, "He cast upon them the fierceness of His anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them."

 Lamentations 4:11, says, "The LORD gave full vent to his wrath; he poured out his hot anger, and he kindled a fire in Zion that consumed its foundations."

 Ezekiel 5:13, says, "Thus my anger will be spent and I will satisfy my wrath on them, and I will be appeased; then they will know that I, the LORD, have spoken in my zeal when I have spent my wrath upon them."

 Yes, I am aware that there are many opinions in the differences in which the LORD or GOD is supposed to have intended these statements to mean. The point is still the same. Lots and lots of anger, and lots and lots of wrath. Explain it any way you wish. Make every excuse possible as to why the perfect God seems to have a great deal of trouble with His anger and His wrath and how such causes Him to behave.

Many people truly believe that humans deserve this anger and wrath from God. Some people go even further and seem to think that they can behave in an angry and vengeful and mean and disgusting manner towards their fellow man because GOD has instructed them to do so and GOD is righteous and perfect in His anger and wrath.

Some people even kill their fellow man with the horrible, insanely delusional idea that they are acting on the righteous anger and instruction from God; the purity of God's wrath gives them the right to do terrible things in the name of God and God's anger...because such is God's judgment...

...after all, God is perfect, even in His anger.

The truth is, and thank goodness for this, not everyone who believes in God and Jesus or Allah are consumed by the supernatural hate of their chosen divine being. But make no mistake about it, there are many people who have this serious God-driven anger 'defect' in their belief repertoire. Sadly, many people who think like this do not want to hear how some people do terrible things in the name of God, no way. If you believe in God and love God and obey God...well then, dammit!! You just go right on ahead and do everything He tells you to do, and everything angry preachers of His gospel of disaster preach to you to do.

That's right. Let that divine anger within you bubble over as you conspire with both the seen and the unseen to harm, maim, or even kill those you (or the Bible, or any interpretation of the Bible for that matter) hold to be contrary to God and therefore an abomination. Abortion doctors and nurses, women who opt for abortions, leaders of gay and lesbian rights movements, gays and lesbians, politicians who support legislation that is deemed contrary to God, individuals or groups holding any faith NOT based on the Bible.Go right on ahead at full speed and don't worry about the angry things that an angry God tells you to do because that anger is just the flip side of the magnificent love of God...

...go right on ahead. Be the dangerous tool manipulated by an angry God. Remember to preach great and grand love first, but if people do not respond always fall back on holy wrath. Fine. Do it. Then, after you are done hurting or maiming or mistreating or killing whomever it is that an anger-driven God or some equally angry whacked out preacher told you to kill...hey, you go right on ahead and pick up that shovel and start digging your own grave...

...because for all of that spiritual fervor and holy and righteous anger, even hope and peace and unfettered love that you truly think you represent you seem to have forgotten that anger kills. Your faith or the angry God of your faith may be informing or instructing you to do various terrible deeds, and that you will have absolution for such; you were doing God's work. That STILL does not hold you exempt from the bottom-line reality of anger...

...anger kills.

Modern-Day Prophets on America

Punishing the Eagle

PART I

Do Christians really think that they are doing anyone a favor by threatening all of these terrible things if people do not believe in Jesus? God LOVES you but if you do not believe this way God will KILL you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8u6ZrsJurY

 You must understand that the only visions that are accepted by Christians are those visions that further their cause and benefit them in some way or other. If it is spooky enough and makes their congregations scared enough they will definitely use the vision or dream or whatever bullshit it is.

 Retard.

 Do you ever think about how all of these claims about weather warnings by God and economic warnings by God and whatnot are never identified as such by God Himself, but rather are always identified as warnings and such by people claiming to be speaking for God? Why doesn't God just show Himself and tell people in unequivocal terms what He wants, what He means, what He intends to do? He NEVER does anything Himself but always sends some angel or some preacher or some ridiculous dream. 

 These people are fucked in the head and this is evidenced by the fact that they are hearing voices and ascribing such to God.

 Oh dear Lord, here we go again with some person claiming to be filled with the 'anointing' and Holy Spirit of God. Give glory to the Father? Are you insane? God is good? God isn't good! How can you read through that thing you refer to as a Bible and say that God is good? Didn't you see the part where there is incest, the part where people were put to death for stupid shit, the part where people were being murdered and their property taken?

 Remember what this lady says in regards to 2013. She says this will be the WORST year for America in consideration of the next decade.

 Hah! This guy says that the "Enemy" does not want this man to deliver the message that he is delivering here. Uhm-hum. So, I am wondering why God would insist on giving these so-called prophetic dreams to obscure people instead of giving them to the leaders of the nation? You would think that if the info God wants to give is so important that God would give the people who have the most power to fix things these dreams and revelations.

 He's BBAAAAACCCKKKKK! An people thought that our dear friend and pal Jimmy Bakker fell off of the planet. It is no wonder that after serving his time in prison he goes right back to doing what he does best...being a charlatan.

 So stupid.

 So this guy started 'receiving' dreams back in 1968. Did he not dream before this time? Dreams are nothing new, guy. People have been having dreams since the beginning of time. It is amazing what passes for prophetic dreaming these days.

 This person is out of her goddamn mind. Hummm...so God told you to tell me something He wants me to know. Why didn't God just tell me Himself instead of going through you?

 Sooooo...God is getting ready to peel off the layers of deception in this country? With any luck He will take all the charlatan preachers like you as His first layer to peel away.

 I think that sometimes these people who claim to be receiving messages from God erroneously believe that if they say to the listeners that they do not "ask for these visions and information" that such a statement somehow makes them more believable or credible or something.

God Is Angry, Wants To Punish America, And Has Already Started?

What Did Americans Do?
     There are so very many people ready to jump up on  the pretty little stack of screwy religious ideas of hate that are supposedly interwoven in the message of love that the Bible is supposed to carry and so freely give unto all men and women no matter who they are or where they are from.

     Does the asshole giving the commentary on this deluded video really think he is doing anyone any kind of favor? Does he think he is truly speaking for God? Is this vengeful God of his who supposedly says COME AS YOU ARE and then turns around and instructs His violent Christianity adherents (according to some not all Christians; all Christians are most certainly NOT violent fuckers) to turn on those who came as they were but  were different, is this God worthy of any kind of following whatsoever?

      There is no answer given here. All that happens is the guy tries to answer the question with another question, and it is not even a good question. This man is trying to equate the things within humanity that make people angry and afraid (rape, for example) with things that supposedly make God angry. Then he tries to take the example of this supposed righteous anger and tries very hard to make it look like the anger and violence expressed by human beings who are religious (example, those having faith in God...the right God, mind you) against human beings who want nothing to do with religion is normal, if not invited and encouraged by God.
     If you hear it the way this guy is saying it people who do not believe in God cannot do anything right and have absolutely ZERO morality within themselves or their communities. If it is not according to the Bible and the crack smoking God of the Bible it is evil and terrible and slated for hell.
     What further complicates the issue is the fact that the reasoning of people who really do believe the shit that the guy in this video is yaking about is considered completely and totally validated by the swell of anger that is justifiably given in response by people who are fucking dog-tired of this crap.

     Do you really want people to stop being angry with God? Do you really want people to come to God instead of fleeing God not because of the wrath of God, but because of the insanity of His followers? Here are a couple of pointers: Dear God, STOP telling your followers to kill people who believe differently, STOP allowing your followers to hurt people who love differently, and most of all STOP allowing pointless, senseless fighting and wars as groups differing in opinion and origin bicker over who you are and how great your mighty love is. How about that?
     You really REALLY want to stop the hate and the fighting? Then for the love of Christ PLEASE show this mighty love that this supposedly all powerful, mighty, majestic God is. The words of your own book say that love conquers all. LOVE CONQUERS ALL. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that HATE conquers all, but in many cases people would not know this because the claimed powerful lesson of love is lost in the shuffle and press of war.
     I cannot be angry with God because there is no God. I can be and have often been angry with some of those who profess to be a testimony for the love that conquers all. These kinds of people do not know anything even remotely similar to what love is. They love only themselves and live solely to conform and rush to obey a violent deity so that they may maintain their imaginary reigns of power and empty promise of perfection in a make-believe eternity.

     Okay, Mr. Only-My-God-Can-Make-Earthquakes, there is this fabulous area of study called geology. It really is an excellent area of science to study because you get to learn some very wonderful things about how this living planet that mankind inhabits functions. Of course, I do not want to overwhelm you with too much information that might frighten you and, God forbid, plant the seed that might morph into a faith-destructing weed that would strangle you straight to the hell you claim exists. No, we wouldn't want that.
     So, why don't we take baby steps and start small, okay? Good. Now, why don't you go and work on your antiquated religious ideals; once you can release your death grip on the idea that the spiritual world is flat we will move onto the next baby step.

     More hilarious mumbo-jumbo from one who obviously does not understand the anger of his own God, right? If God was so flipping angry at America and truly wanted to punish Americans, shee-it...Sarah Palin WOULD have made it to the White House.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PizrJLV30yI

     Speaking to the gentleman in this video: Look buddy, there are some serious holes in your...well, for the sake of throwing you a bone we will call it an argument...in the argument you presented. I will only address one of these problems because I think it is the biggest problem with what you are saying. Are you ready? Good. Listen carefully...
     ...for all of the damn near perfect things that your God supposedly created, for all of the great detail and precision that your God supposedly expressed in creating marvels such as galaxies, stars, DNA, the immune system, reproduction in any species, the brain, the five senses as well as innumerable other amazing complexities...are you seriously going to stand or sit there and try to convince people that this precise God of great detail is going to suddenly turn around and do something so imprecise as dishing out punishment and forcing those punished to GUESS what they are being punished for?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8UcJTfgbgg

     Look lady, you are not in the least bit concerned with doing anything God wants you to do. You are concerned with saving YOUR ass from some ginormous judgment that ends with the penalty of an eternity of hell. You say the things you say and preach the things you preach EVEN WHEN PEOPLE DON'T CARE TO HEAR SUCH GARBAGE because you think that this will save your ass from some horrible spiritual sentence.
     Lady, there is either something hideously wrong with your spiritual teachings (scriptures) that you are working from, or there is something equally seriously wrong with how you, an obviously bitter crone, are interpreting your version of scriptures. You worship a mean and terrible and elusive, self-loving God. If such a God existed He would deserve nothing more than the lack of love that you show all those who choose to believe differently than you, and nothing less than a good heaping helping of His own medicine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2jK8XYpXMQ

     Listen, you stupid bitch...there is something called weather. Maybe you have heard of it. It is hateful and delusional people like you who give whatever faith it is that they worship a bad name. Sometimes the processes of this planet can be scary whether it is a storm, hurricane, blizzard, quake, tsunami, sinkholes...the list goes on forever. The natural processes of this planet are not punishment for any fucking thing. Not one.
     Your campy audio effects and absurdly misinformed interpretations of reality do nothing to further your cause. You and people like you are in fact your own oppression. Your version of God is no less violent and deluded than every other similar faith throughout the history of man and religion. You and every religiously oppressive individual or group from anywhere in the world always claim with great pride that your God/Allah is one of great love, that He sustains you and provides for you.
     The ugly truth of your faith and Christianity and institutionalized religion and ALL violent faiths is that the ONLY love to be found in your brand of religion is the love of the POWER your deity has supposedly given you over all who do not believe and think and live the same as you do. Even worse is the manner in which your terrible God/Allah sustains you by providing you with promises of victory unto all like you and death to all others. Has man really and truly come this far just to destroy himself and all the possibilities for love and beauty over such an insignificant thing as self-righteous and haughty power?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taXGCur83Xk

     The implications of what you are saying as to how God would deal with children is so very disturbing. What the fuck happened to your message of love that the God in your Bible instructed you to show others? What does John 13:34-35 say: "A new commandment I give unto you that you love one another as I have loved you. By this shall all men know you are my disciples if you have love one for another."
     No doubt you will whip out every conceivable verse that speaks of God destroying the wicked (the wicked being those who are quite succinctly pointed out as all those who would believe differently than you). You will relay every story from your hateful Bible that speaks of God decimating and murdering all those who think and follow and live and breathe and love differently from you.
     Do you seriously NOT see the inconsistent and severely bipolar nature of the one in whom you choose to sink your every savings of trust? One moment He says to show one another love and the next minute is telling you to shun individuals in same-sex relationships, to pray for the deaths of those who desire to believe differently or not at all, to encourage your children to think only in lines of separation, and WORST OF ALL to perpetuate the seriously fucked up ideal that there is no hope for mankind outside of the Bible and its hideous creator.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYgBg1HOKH4

     The mournful belch of bagpipes playing Amazing Grace do absolutely jack shit to detract from the terrible claims and twisted verses and insinuations of this asinine video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zchnje1OAYE

     I am not really sure what is worse: people who actually believe and follow this shit, or the embarrassing stupidity of the narrator. Every religion clings to prophecy and vision, but those are not the only things they have in common. Every violent religion and every violent religious follower of ANY religion clings tenaciously to bits of scripture and holy words that are nothing more than the ramblings of those suffering from low spiritual self-esteem desperately seeking any kind of power that will lift them higher than everyone else.
     Another thing, this whack job drones on and on about destruction and judgment and death, but then at the very end quite cheerily says God bless. You know what, sir? Fuck off. The basis for your proposed faith is centered completely around death. Making things worse is your fear of death which is so strong it smothers your sense of love and compassion completely, prompting you to mistreat and abuse others.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXBYm-Uh6ww

     Listen to the words of the song at the beginning of the video. There is a line that says something along the lines of "I don't want your money, I just want your life." Boy, if that is not the bitter truth I don't know what is. These pathological individuals can be heard here saying that Jesus loves everyone, but that those who do not agree don't understand the kind of HATE that is God's hate. Whatever man. What fucking ever. We're just going to leave it there.

     Here is another fine example of why many people are simply fed up with certain individuals within religion.  I say it like that because not everyone within religion is an asshole who tries to force what is far too often manifested as a dilapidated faith upon those around them. The woman here is a fine example of what is wrong, completely wrong, with religion. Her message is not one of salvation or faith as she apparently thinks it is. At its very bare bones the argument she presents is this: Believe and live this way or die.
     Oh, and for the record Ma'm, I am not afraid of your God because He does not exist. You are arguing for something that does not exist. In addition to that, the Devil does not fear God because, like God, the Devil does not exist. Something that does not exist cannot elicit fear just as something that does not exist cannot produce fear in response to something that does not exist trying to elicit fear.

     Have I been led to errantly believe that God is a God consisting only of love? No, but I wager many many others have but not from what you are thinking. Your very own myopic faith is what led people to believe that God is only love. Remember your own Bible says that God is love and everlasting and forgiving and gracious. It also says love is patient and kind and persevering and more. So if this love is everlasting and if this love is God and if God is eternal...honey you need to rework your argument because it does not just have a few holes. It has no bottom to it at all.

     There is ONE apostasy and that apostasy is that your Bible and your faith places limits on the love of your God, a love that is supposed to be eternal. The moment you come across someone who will not bend to your lethal brand of faith you purposely, and with great malice strive to redefine this eternal love of your God so that your inexcusable behavior and hatred can be explained away.

     I understand where this person is coming from and what he is trying to say. Unfortunately, by saying that all religions are facing elimination in some kind of grand end-of-all-time event he very deftly hops right into the boat and takes a seat with all of the religions of the world that profess a faith or set of ideals based on a believe-this-way-or-die philosophy.
