I am totally serious.
Why?
Well, if they profess to believe in an all-powerful omnipresent/omniscient being who created the universe and everything in it, and that he judges every human soul individually and then metes out punishment or reward in appropriate measure…
Why are they so intent on doing his job for him?
They don’t seem confident that God is capable of doing what they claim he is supposed to do.
They insist on attacking people from everything they say is subject to their God’s judgement – they want to straight-up imprison and/or murder everyone who doesn’t agree with them, or who do stuff that they’ve decided is against their god’s law.
They constantly seem driven to usurp their god’s position as ultimate judge by harming other people…unless, of course, it’s their own pastor or priest, in which case, the sinner loudly and publicly repents, and then, naturally, the victims of those sins are expected to be Christlike and forgive the sinner.
Perhaps, I suppose, it’s not that they don’t “believe” in God.
Maybe it’s just that they don’t really trust him to be vindictive enough.
