So God is going to trash all those who chose to not believe even though he supposedly created them? Seems more than a bit spiteful and petty don't you think?

If you got that from my post then you have a belief in religion.
I merly stated many will find out they are wrong.
According to the 'believers' that is precisely what their All Loving god will do....
not at all
That is the choice they make
Nice Post
Those who have religion would read it one way, those who do not have religion would read it another. Maybe the truly "enlightened" people are those who see it both ways.
Very good Papa
No I was merely acknowledging that others believe in religion. But if as you think God created all and is all knowing, why would he create some people who "didn't get it" and then simply discard them?
In your case you discard Him because you choose to. Am I correct?
If you have free will then why would you deny that of others?
I have not read the "word of god" but I have read the interpetations of gods words as written by man. The true meaning of god is not in the words written on the page but in the spaces between the words.
That is actually a matter of some debate for most Christian Denominations.
It is similar to cursing in the name of God, is it a vulgarity or is it actually a wish for malevolent things to occur. Most consider G.D. to be a vulgarity.
Is someone merely ignorant, or are they consciously rejecting? When you use the word choose that does seem the later rather than the former, but likely it is merely a figure of speech.
Do you know if you do an in depth study of many of the old religions of the world who can see how Christianity and Islam evolved. I know I was almost remove from a catholic high school one day because of a well written history thesis . I actually had to forfeit the credit.
I don't. Show me where I said I did. I'm not really interested in true believers as such, I'm just trying to figure out what this God they're describing must be thinking. The only conclusion I can come to is that God messes up a hell of a whole lot, and seems to value worship from humans over all else.
I often say to my Father that God may exist in the church we attend but that there is no presence of him in the parking lot after the mass is over.
Most regretfully that is often a true statement.
Athough I would say "little" rather than "no".
Or in the marketplace for that matter.....
You have told me often that you have no beleif in God. Why would you look for it in others. After all you can never find what you have no belief in.
So your argument is that if you believe strong enough then you will see it. This is what hucksters the world over have depended upon for centuries.
