Miss Communication: “God is all-loving.”
Christian: “No, He’s not.”
Miss Communication: “Yes, He is. The Bible says so.”
Christian: “No, it doesn’t. It says that God is love.”
Miss Communication: “See.”
Christian: “But that doesn’t say He’s all-loving. He’s not a slave to love. The Bible reveals that He’s also just, holy, and righteous.”
Miss ...[text shortened]... ked men, even though
He is ‘love.’ Does that make sense?”
Miss Communication: “Now it does.”

You have the ability to do what you will, you do what you will and you will give an account for your choices. Simple enough, I don't see how that doesn't answer the question, the question I was answering was,
"Why does God punish?"
You do good, good things happen, you do bad, bad things do.

Thanks a lot Mr Christian God. If you existed I would not be best pleased with you.
BTW, how did you get all those people to love and follow you? Some kind of evil voodoo magic? Oh yes sorry i forgot, you made them that stupid didn't you. And the people like me? Oh yes i forgot, I'm going to hell. Thanks a lot.
