Lucy #322: Thereafter, you note that, ―We make our own decisions in our lives, and we<br />

all know right from wrong. It is not God‘s fault we choose to break God's Law.‖<br />

True enough, my Friend – it definitely is not God‘s fault when we violate His laws, and<br />

yet it most certainly is God‘s fault for making unjust laws in the first place – and it most certainly<br />

is God‘s fault for demanding that we follow the same; even when doing so causes innocent<br />

beings to suffer greatly – and it most certainly is God‘s fault for seeing that the vast majority of<br />

humanity has no equal access to those unjust laws – and it most certainly is God‘s fault for<br />

seeing that the majority of those who do have access to them must either abandon their culture of<br />

birth &/or abandon their God-given ability to use reason & logic in order to obey them – and it<br />

most certainly is God‘s fault for not changing those laws once it became clear that they are<br />

innately insidious, patently unfair, abjectly cruel & per se unjust (The Bible itself mandates that we<br />

reap only what we sow; not an eternity of additional torment thereafter!) – and it most certainly is<br />

God‘s fault for sitting back and passively doing nothing while the vast majority of humans<br />

futilely strive to discover those laws &/or follow them – and it most certainly is God‘s fault for<br />

then sitting back and doing nothing while those who have chosen incorrectly (mostly<br />

through no real fault of their own) writhe & burn in Hell; doing nothing at all while they<br />

loudly scream out in pain and beg Him for Mercy!<br />

So my dear, assuming those things are true, then God most certainly is to blame – for all of<br />

them! Indeed, when we begin to earnestly examine the laws of the Old Testament, the question<br />

that comes to the fore is not how we can best obey them, but rather what kind of evil, unloving<br />

Father could ever demand such things of us in the first place?!?! … Indeed, if this truly<br />

is your God, Lucy, then He is a most foul & wicked God indeed – far worthier of being<br />

openly opposed than meekly worshiped!<br />

As such, my dear Friend, seeing as how I believe that you too are an innately Good<br />

Person who understands the difference between Justice & injustice, between Good &<br />

evil, and between Right & wrong, why not upgrade to the Father of Jesus Christ?<br />

―The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant … not like the<br />

covenant that I made with their ancestors … This is the covenant that I will make: I will put my laws in<br />

their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they<br />

shall not teach one another or say to each other, ―Know the Lord‖, for they shall all know me, from the<br />

least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful towards their iniquities, and I will remember their<br />

sins no more.‘‖ ~ Hebrews 8:8-12<br />

―Love your enemies and pray for those who<br />

persecute you, so that you may be children of<br />

your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise<br />

on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the<br />

righteous and on the unrighteous … Be perfect<br />

[in Love], therefore, as your heavenly Father is<br />

perfect.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:44-48)<br />

―I do not judge anyone who hears my words<br />

and does not keep them; for I came not to judge<br />

the world, but to offer it Salvation.‖<br />

~ Jesus Christ (John 12:47)<br />
