Thank-you Widget. Very nicely put.

Now, we have all heard references to an angry God in the Old Testament. And He admits to being a jealous God too (although the meaning of "jealous" might be up for debate). Man has experienced the wrath of God many times. My question now is, does God have the right to punish Man for any transgressions of holy writ that he commits? If God is not perfect Himself, can He expect us to overcome our failings?

Someone trawled through the Bible and counted how many deaths God is responsible for: well over 2 million* (and I think that excludes "uncountable" events like the Flood). Were these the acts of a fair and just God, I wonder (I notice some wag commented, "They all deserved it." Maybe they did. What do you think?).

And someone also asked how many deaths Lucifer was responsible for. Wouldn't that be interesting to know?

TYWD
