Gee, what a lovable lug God is after all! Knowing the Almighty is such a Mr. Softie deep inside makes me forget all about cancer, Alzheimer's disease, birth defects, Guinea worm disease, etc., etc.
If this isn't a bucketload of mumbojumbo then I don't know my mumbojumbo. The problem with Christianity is that it is premised on the notion that humanity should give a crap about God's forgiveness. God is in no position to judge humanity. The only question that matters is, why should humanity forgive God for the evil God has done?
