Belief in Angry God Associated with Poor Mental Health
This is interesting.
Belief in Angry God Associated with Poor Mental Health - Blog The researchers found that belief in a punitive God was significantly associated with an increase in social anxiety, paranoia, obsession, and compulsion. Conversely, belief in a benevolent God was associated with reductions in those four symptoms. Belief in an indifferent God was not linked to any symptoms. |

Another anti-religion post from JC. Who'da thunk it? Do you have any thing else to post about for a change?

That makes all the sense in the world whether or not religion is the topic. If you think your boss hates you, are you more or less likely to be stressed than if you think your boss respects you (or doesn't remember your name)? If you feel stuck in your job (or can't switch gods), does that amplify those feelings compared to people who see a lot of opportunities to change their situation? Et cetera. |

Given his posting history, him making it well known he is anti religious (especially anti christian), the article title, and well...his posting history, I would still have to say this is another JC anti-religion post, and yes, I did read the article.

Never really thought of God as "angry", pretty loving from what I can tell.

You've got to be some kind of pissed off to hold an innocent person accountable for someone else's mistakes. That goes double for holding a second innocent person accountable as well. That's pretty angry in my book. |

Isn't it better He provided a way that we don't have to be held accountable? He suffered personal loss in providing that way. That's love, not anger.

Islam is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing around the world. A good Muslim will lie or die to further the cause of Islam. Both are fine ways in the eyes of their moon god. Unless you're a Muslim you're not innocent you're an infidel. And don't worry if you're a Muslim and inadvertently blow up another Muslim while trying to further the cause of Islam, you just made a martyr out of him.

So we need to control the thoughts of people? Is that the point?
It doesn't matter what thoughts people have when their belief in God keeps them from acting on them. You should be appreciative of that fact, it's called self-control... And it damn sure isn't religous people who are clogging up our prisons |

Just because someone wears a cross around their neck doesn't mean you can trust them. In fact I trust them less. It's put there for others to see, not to save their soul. This doesn't mean most religious people don't live a life of honesty. It just means you need to be able to figure out the difference. |

my favorite part of the Bible is where Jesus tells the poor to suck it up & gives more money to the rich & then demands to see Caesar's birth certificate. I swear...I tear up every time I read that.
