Now I understand what the Book of Revelation was taking about when it mentions that this plague and that plague, and this famine and that famine took 1/3 and 1/2 etc etc of the population.
What do you think the book was talking about when it stated that the kings of the earth hid themselves in the ground and in the rocks.
Reading the book scarily is literally a blueprint of what is about to happen to us all.

Saying things like "God will smite you because you're a non-believer" only defeats the purpose of a loving and forgiving God that sent to us his one and only son so that with his sacrifice we might yet one day be near to God.
A vengeful god is not the true God.
Also, I'm trying to major in biology so keep in mind that science has lead to a lot of breakthroughs in the field of medicine which in turn keeps us healthy. So if you *and this is not me wishing any harm upon you* get ill with a cancer, it'll be that morphine those pesky scientist made that keeps you pain free, it'll be that chemo those ne'r do well scientist created that'll save your life. So in other words, don't be so quick to seek evil in something that will one day give you life.

To me, that's a blasphemy. You're trying to make God out to look like some sort of idiot, who only cares about what people believe. That's not the way that God works.
God is not a being of flesh and blood, with human passions. If "believing" were so important to him, he could easily prove his existence to everybody and be done with it.
What people *do* is more important than what they *think*.
