Thats a strawman argument.
Let me cut and paste the post so that you could try and read again and be relevant.
"Using that logic all the governments in the world are all terrorists. They threaten people too of life in prison, death penalty, jail for small crimes, and a whole lot of other things."

I love how this analogy likens God to a destructive, mindless wind.

What I meant is that if they don't cross the line, I think they are entitled to have those theological convinctions.
Who sets up the line? I believe some people are more sensitive than others.

I believe it would not be anymore comfortable knowing that God was throwing a destructive wind your way.
If they are doing things legally in free countries they are not terrorists in my book.
Exactly.
I meant...if they don't impose their convictions on anybody they are absolutely free to express their views.
We live in free demicratic countries.

The point being that destructive, mindless things that hurt people are not to blame. Where are mindful destructive things are morally culpable for the harm that they do. You liken God to a mindless thing (tornadoes) so as to sidestep his immorality. It also sidesteps your own moral deficits in telling everyone that his evil actions are actually "good".

Exactly so. Operation Legend case in point.
On the face of it, it seems like a mantra, but IMHO it is just as ineffective. They are people on a mission.
It takes time for meaningful change to happen, it is never overnight.

Christianity started off as a Doomsday Cult by definition, that is why fundamentalists become Doomsday cults. JW's are by definition a Doomsday Cult as well. People just don't view them as such because they are Christians themselves and do not want to admit it.

Yes.
For billions of years of chaos, I was dead. For billions of years of chaos, I will be dead yet again. It's ok.
But I can acknowledge your faith.

Well, yes.
But it was human wickedness, most of it. If those criminals had held to their religions properly..... ??
But I do get the point.

Can I add to my last post please?
The point is, that religions can try to frighten outsiders with words and pretences, but that's just talk. But if a religion like Baha'i should ever grow to a country's majority of population, then 'Woe' to the people and it wouldn't just be talk then.
All such "terrorists" want only one thing, at the end of the day.
Control over the hearts and minds of others.
They will not gain control over mine.
