- Yeah, right. "God has never imposed his will on people..."? I love reading
- the Old Testament where God wants to get rid of a certain tribe of people,
- so he gets the Jews to do it for him. I guess it's much more fun to watch
- two insects battle it out than just to step on them. What happened when the
- people of that time stopped believing in God? He flooded the whole world.
- Wouldn't you call that "imposing his will"? The way salvation is offered is
- very similar - accept Jesus as your personal savior and live your life the way
- God commands, or else you will burn in hell's fires ETERNALLY! Would God be
- really that upset if I didn't worship him? Does he somehow require my devo-
- tion? This is like a gangster's offer that can't be refused. Why do people
- even believe that God is a 'merciful' God?

- In an earlier post there was mention of 7-year-old children singing that Rush
- is "a conservative like ___", where the blank's where taken to be 'God', but
- were removed from the audio portion of the tape. Given the characteristic of
- intolerance that all conservatives seem to share, I would definitely agree
- that both God and Rush are conservatives.
