I read an essay that said authors were evil, because we make the characters suffer so terribly, just to make the story interesting. A story just wouldn't be interesting without tragedy, would it?

God's probably an author, and our world is his story.

Just think: with all this tragedy, I'll bet our book is a bestseller.

Huh. For some reason that doesn't do much to make me feel better after such a depressing thought.

Bye.

I give up, you are making me really upset.

Do you have any idea of what God is like? Do you just make this stuff up? Why do you people constantly attack Christianity, and then when we defend ourselves, you say we "make me sick"

How can you hypocrites call us "overzealous" while constantly asserting your own beliefs about Christianity?

I could spend years writing about how tofu was stupid, but then I would be a RETARD and nobody would like me. Sound familiar?

stein you need to do as i say and stop fucing jesus in your deams and die of a drug over dose

its Theatre des Vampires, masquerading as a zealous evangelical critic once again :)

not a friend says:

"Your going to hell, were fags and baby-killers like you belong! Satan is gonna eat you and your gonna burn forever! F* u!"

this is fun, i should try it more often...

Theatre des Vampires

i'm not john stein, but its fun pretending to be him. Lets see...What else would he say...?

I KNOW!"Man you suck. Your probably some stubby haired fat gothic chick with balls! I hate you! Go to hell" etc.

Theatre des Vampires

i don't know..

seems like the christians on this site are overall way to zealous... makes me sick...

Love all these religious parodies..Keep up the good work

It says in the Bible that God gave us choice. That is why we sin. Because we choose to. I've always been one to say that you should pick your own religion, but that's what it says in the Bible in case you wanted to know.

Don't worry, God's not just sitting up there looking for bad things to happen to us. He has reasons for letting bad things happen. If bad things didn't happen, we wouldn't grow as people. Good things can come out of bad things even if they're so terrible we don't think good could possibly come out them. I'll be praying for you! _

Man, you are just asking for it.

Tell me, if you don't like God, or Christianity, why do you write about it? You know nothing about theology, and yet you write only about it. What a complete fool.

You seem to be very religion orientated. When i try and think about what God would be like, i can't really comprehend it. It's probably because i'm stupid, and i don't really mind, but i figure that if there is a God, he's incredibly misunderstood. Kind of like Avril Lavagne, except, it isn't a poser. Ha ha ha. I'm so funny. Interesting poem, the negativity was tangible. Kudos.

Precisely.

Good job on taking God from behind.
I love John Stein he is so tolerant and not at all guilty of several of the deadly sins of his "religion".
Well done, keep it up.

"Is God overrated?"

according to u maybe. According to 2 billion other people, not so much.

you'll find out in hell
