Fair critical analysis, apparently. The "God made dogs" statement really is like the "Look how the banana fits our hand!" stuff. But don't point that out. Cuz then you're a meanie. Quote HistoryQuoted:

If some breeds of dogs live longer than others, and all breeds of dogs were created by man, then it follows that God doesn't take dogs away. |

I'm amazed that some atheists here completely missed the point of this thread
Apparent they are ignorant to the reference of God bringing someone home. (If they were they would have understood the meaning and maybe not look so foolish). So to make it very simple for them and so hopefully they understand I will explain it. The term "God brings them home early" is a polite way to say "they die" Now since we have members who have had their dogs die (as have I) I was being understanding and polite in wording the title such as I did. So I will paraphrase the title so the Atheist here can understand it "Some days I wonder if dogs die early because they are so awesome." PS: It's pretty bad that I had to actually explain this for them

It's that so many here actually take me so much more serious than I take myself. and even more so they truly give me so much more credit that I honestly deserve. 99.9% of the time I just say what pops in my head. No Plotting, no planning, but Pop, and there it is. I mean honestly, Either I'm a whole lot smarter than I realize (doubtful) or the ones here getting bent out of shape truly lack any real intelligence. Do you really take me that serious? I sure don't take myself serious. BTW, if you think this thread is trolling they you truly are reaching. Everyone here knows I love dogs, always have, always will. |

[1] And if you remember that, you'll also remember He also took the time to see animals were preserved. [2] When God created animals, He saw that it was "good". [3] Isaiah implies that animals will be with us after judgement. He tells us that "The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,” . [4] Psalm 145:9 tells us, "The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made." [5] We sinned, not the animals. We brought death into the world and animas suffer because of it. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Quoted:
God loves us why would he harm us? Because he is a bloodthirsty sadist who likes to watch living beings suffer and die. Remember, according to the Bible he once killed virtually every living thing on Earth. [1] And if you remember that, you'll also remember He also took the time to see animals were preserved. [2] When God created animals, He saw that it was "good". [3] Isaiah implies that animals will be with us after judgement. He tells us that "The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,” . [4] Psalm 145:9 tells us, "The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made." [5] We sinned, not the animals. We brought death into the world and animas suffer because of it. [1] A handful of animals and humans were preserved. That's quite irrelevant to the point, though. [2] If it was "good," why did he then kill nearly all of them? [3] Apparently God plans to kill all of the carnivores. Aside from the "small" matter that the wolf and the lion have teeth designed for eating flesh, there is the question of if their gastro-intestinal systems would properly digest grass and straw. I'm pretty sure that dust won't provide much nourishment, so the serpent is toast. (But then, God has always had it in for serpents...  )
[4] Please. God was not the least bit merciful to the men, women, and children of Sodom and Gomorrah, nor to the countless people and animals he drowned. [5] Nonsense. Death is God's doing. Humans and animals were created as mortal beings, subject to death by accident, old age, disease, and predators. And Man's supposed "sin" has nothing to do with the fact that, if God created everything, he designed predators to kill prey. |

"Some days I wonder if dogs die early because they are so awesome." <chuckle> If you had gone with that version, I'd wager the typical response (from anyone, believer or atheist) would've been, "Huh?" Either way, dogs do not generally die "early."* And when they do die, it is not because they are awesome. Like countless other awesome critters, dogs just have a shorter average life span than humans. ================== * I once had a beautiful Australian Shepherd that did die at a much younger age than she should have. Her passing saddened me deeply. |

Stay out of the thread if you object to the topic, unless trolling them is irresistible to you. 1. I don't object to any topics. 2. It isn't "trolling" to discuss remarks made by posters in a discussion forum. 3. If religious folks don't want to see views which are contrary to their beliefs, the most effective way to avoid that is to refrain from posting religious statements. |

My dog is taking a nap on me right now. Not much makes me feel better than that. So true. I really prefer the company of dogs to most people, not all but most. |

Do pit bulls and dogs that maul people or tear up furniture go to hell? Now you've done it. The concept of Dog Heaven was hard enough to grasp for some, and now you have to bring in Dog Hell. The crux of the issue would be if the dog knew it was doing something against the wishes of God and decided to do it anyway. If that is the case, it's off to Doggy Hades. Sniff Cerberus's ass on the way by. My Pomeranian is fucked.
Most Pomeranians would be...

These are the kinds of things you tell small children to comfort them.
I find the fact that fully grown adults are parroting the same things more than a little disturbing quite frankly.

The Bible states that for the ones who have been called in and through Christ, that in this case, then God would indeed give to us the desires of our heats.
Therefore, if a person prays for a spiritual reuniting in the kingdom of God according to anything that he or she may ask for, then it should be given to them. In love, and by the word of God, unless stricken at one point from our eternal memories as with God all things are possible, yet we should receive anything that we ask for. Jesus said, '' You receive not because you ask not, " and again, "If you ask anything of the Father in My name it will be given to you." So that the Father might be glorified in the Son (Or as One through the Spirit of God). Jesus also said so about these things so that your joy might be full as well. And a joy it would be!

stanc, anyone is free to come and go out of any of these threads as they choose as you well know.
As long as CoC compliant, anyone may post anything that they choose. The OP however, does not object to Christian views and claims to be Christian himself. The kingdom of God has been brought forward as a real and tangible situation according to the OP. The title also makes reference to the universal Creator as, "God," or the God of Abraham which is Christ. So what's the deal stanc my friend?
