Everybody is trying to prove that his own god is the greatest. The gods themselves don't intervene when you abuse the hell out of them, but humans are the ones getting emotionally hurt and bitter against those who mock their gods.

In a bid to make people stop mocking their gods, humans began to tell fearful stories of how their gods destroyed the people speaking against them with earthquakes, Thunder, flood, disasters, smelling mouths, death, famine, drought, etc. Well, these kinds of well-thought craftiness paid off in some cases, because the world is filled with 99% gullible people and 1% ingullible ones.

DOCTUFOS: Bishuak 2:15
15. And all gods projected themselves as God the Universe to the beings which they had made. And the scribes of the gods gave their gods much attributes of terror to make their gods and goddesses appear as the greatest of all gods and goddesses.

Here are some of the stories they made up to put the gullible in fear and submission:

1. Sango destroyed his antagonists with thunder when they said that he hanged himself.
2. Yahweh swallowed Koran, Dathan and Abiram up with an earthquake.
3. The Holy Spirit killed Ananias and Sapphira when they told a lie.
4. Eshu did this and that.
5. Yahweh smote the antagonists of David Oyedepo with smelly mouths.
6. Zeus did this and that.
7. Allah did this and that.
8. Baal did such and such

All those stories actually worked on the fearful and gullible of old and is still working on the present gullible people of our days. But some people like Luwabi, Socrates, Plato, Bongo, Otem Erectus, Cuenca, Albert Einstein and many others stood out in their own times, fearing no god and I count them worthy of deification. They saw God Almighty as one with them and not as an external evil being in the skies.

My advice to all religious folks, IF PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF YOUR god, don't be emotional about it. At least almost everybody mocks one god or the other, so far it is not their own. Elijah mocked Baalim. Some people mock Eshu laalu ogiri oko and they get angry when other people mock Yahweh their own god. Some people mock Allah lavishly, but when you mock their own, they go all emotional.

DOCTUFOS: Eta-n-tagba 14:1-3
1. If the scribes have said that the fear of a god is the beginning of knowledge, I have come to say otherwise;
2. Therefore I say, the fear of a god is the beginning of stupidity.
3. For that same god whom you fear to death is the mock song of other people.

this is a nice one

Christians aren't supposed to attack when it seems people mock God.

The only time I felt a little bad was when HardMirror compared God with a dog. That was the only time I spew out something that seemed awkward.

But I prefer how I used to be, that is not to be moved when people call God names because it's between them and God. Besides I'm to love them still inspite of mocking my God.

And truly like you said, we've all mocked each other's deity or so but I've decided not to be perturbed by all that anymore.

But one thing we should know is we should respect what people hold in high esteem. That's just a simple courtesy that brings out the best in us.

We can say whatever we want to say without bruising one's ego especially when you know their weak point.

---

Some needs their ego to be bruised though, I mean there's time for bruising egos like Otem's ego needs to be crushed

Otem give your life to Jesus Christ and stop creating your own religion in your room. Stop mimicking the Bible also and stop making up your own stories

I have also compared Yahweh with a dog before and it is because it is a norm in the world. It is easy for a christian to compare Allah with poo. And it is easy for atheists to compare Yahweh with anything. It's all for the fun of it. Right from the ancient times, even the so-called great prophets male fun if other people's god. This reminds me of Elijah of the Neanderthal who was making fun of Baalim and his prophets. There is no god immuned from being ridiculed.

IMO, I think the matter of gods should be taken the same way we take football clubs. For example, as a Chelsea fan, it is allowed for me to make fun of Arsenal and Man utd if they don't make the top 4(sebi they also make fun of Chelsea last year when we didn't make top 9) . However, it should not affect my normal day to day relationship with the arsenal fans in real life. I think the spirit of sportsmanship should be introduced to religion. It makes a lot of sense.

DOCTUFOS: Ikilo 2:15-16


15. Do not take your opponents in football and other sport games as your real life enemy. For if you all support the same football or sport team, how then shall life be made sweet?
16. Be emotional when a player at the game dies upon the pitch. For the only thing which unites the world is sport and not religion. Therefore put your emotions in it, but do not die of it through heart attacks.

First, for me it is God, not god.
Second, I feel pity for whoever insults my God because if they actually knew Him, they would not do so.

Heiiiiiiiiii. Otem, you won't change.

All I have to do, is look for what you value most in life and then play around with it. Will that make you still act like a sportsman you just described?

But you know what, you're free to do whatever you like. God did not command us to get angry for Him or to fight for Him. Our duty is to love

What I value most in life is my spiritual name OTEM and the fact that God the Universe, the greatest consciousness has given me the privilege to be part of those who rule and not part of those who are ruled. However, I have not come to cause fear and trembling in the world, but to make a paradise on earth.

Yes, in fact, the beginning of the Universe is with that only God. The 'heaven' and 'earth' are not even yet created in the beginning, though a particular book said that it was in the beginning that their own god created heaven and earth. Do you know that the sun came thousands of years before the earth came to being? Yet all those makings are not even here at the very beginning of creation.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth", says the Bible. It didn't give a timeline. Timeline was only given during the activities that involved the creation of Planet Earth and man. So the sun being thousands of years ahead of the earth may be true and does not really negate the Biblical account.
Also do not forget, the sun, earth & all other celestial bodies may also have been formed at the same time, just that the earth remained in that "formlessness" (without form and void) until God spoke life unto it.

The Bible said that the earth came into being before the sun. Check your Bible very well. But scientifically, the age of the sun is thousands(if not a million) of years older than the earth. The Beginning the Bible is talking about is just few thousands of years ago, whereas the real beginning is only with God, the creator of all the gods in the Bible.

Well, I see your point. The Bible does indeed say the earth was created before the sun. Which may seem a bit illogical since the sun appears to be the focal point around which all the planets revolve. However if the Bible says so, then it must be true, since there's still a whole lot that science hasn't been able to unravel, and then there's the eternal truth: the infallibility of God's word.

LOL.. there is no true knowledge you know today which are not from science. The Bible is given to the writers by some ignorant gods before thorough findings were made. What actually happened was that when God Almighty sent Atum, Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Olorun, Eshu, Moloch, Mazda, etc into all parts of the Universe to make findings, some of them hadn't made enough findings before telling human beings to write this and that. But many of them later took the pain of making findings of God's work and then the scientists were able to connect with their memories. If you check the DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH, you will see that it doesn't have all those kinds of errors the Bible carry because the god Atum who revealed the content of it is a researcher unlike Yahweh who didn't do any research before revealing falsehoods to people in those days.

Once again, the earth is younger than the sun, unlike what Yahweh thought before revealing errors to Moussa.

People have invested their entire life in a particular faith. How do you feel when someone mocks what you genuinely love? Just because you feel God doesn't exist does not mean others don't have personal relationship with Him. You can call it delusion but for them it is real. So I advise people not to mock anyone's God or belief but engage in intelligent debates (ya! It is possible to debate without being sly or trying to be funny).

PS: even when you mock God, you know the funny thing? He still loves you. Pay no mind to those who say He will punish you. Nah! He actually still loves you.

I think it is wrong to compare people's love for their God with love for a football club. I am a Liverpool fan. I love Liverpool so much I can feel sad for a week if they lose. You mock Liverpool, I don't feel a thing (OK, I feel something but it's not that serious). You mock my God, I feel deeply hurt inside even though I never react in anyway. They are different sir. Love for God supercedes all.

Its "Him" not "him"

The Bible instructs us in Leviticus 24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death.

Have you ever spoken evil of other gods before? Sure you must have done that before e.g Eshu is the god of some people, but all the yoruba christians now mock Eshu without knowing the impact it has on the worshippers of Eshu. Each time you sing goodbye phaRaoh, goodbye phaRaoh... the horses and its riders have been thrown into the sea, you are actually insulting Ra, one of the gods of Egypt etc. And if you insult Allah, it's actually painful to the worshippers too. However, the gods you insult are not even aware that you are insulting them because they are not omnipresent, though they have a wider range of view than a 3D being. For them to view a portion of the world, they had to also do some kinds of meditations as we do or use some devices. However, most of them laugh when you insult them, because it doesn't do then any harm. Why then should we humans take panadol on what is supposed to be the headaches of the gods?

Aaronsrod:
The Bible instructs us in Leviticus 24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death.

Deuteronomy 13

If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy a son , or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, bentice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
8 Thou shalt not a consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be a first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die

no god and religion should have immunity from ridicul...all gods and religions are subject to ridicule.

It's hypocrisy and double standard for a Christian to insult Sango or Ifa as powerless gods and demons and cry blasphemy or persecution when their Jewish demon is mocked..yahweh must be mocked as well, Yahweh is a powerless demonic slowpoke

Psalms 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 42:4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 42:6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. 42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 42:8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. 42:9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 42:10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

It is not as if there is no higher consciousness which people call God, but the problem here is that that higher consciousness isn't the one you are worshipping. If I may ask, what makes you fall in love with Yahweh? What good things can Yahweh do?
