Tornadoes come, End of Days and Kingdom has not come in 2000 years. When do you think it is likely to come?I guess that makes weathermen terrorists also because they report tornadoes coming.

Yeah, there are terrorist governments and there are democratic governments comprising of representatives of the people elected in a honest way. You have the example of Idi Amin and Kim Jong-un. People authorize democratic governments to make rule and apply them. The two things are not the same.
I love how this analogy likens God to a destructive, mindless wind.I guess that makes weathermen terrorists also because they report tornadoes coming.
What I meant is that if they don't cross the line, I think they are entitled to have those theological convinctions.

If they are doing things legally in free countries they are not terrorists in my book.Only if you ignore the fact that they affect policy, laws, and culture. They prey on our children and other people in a vulnerable state.
Who sets up the line? I believe some people are more sensitive than others.
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".I believe it would not be anymore comfortable knowing that God was throwing a destructive wind your way.
But your book is corrupt. ;-)If they are doing things legally in free countries they are not terrorists in my book.
These are NOT mutually exclusiveYeah, there are terrorist governments and there are democratic governments ...
Exactly so. Operation Legend case in point.These are NOT mutually exclusive
On the face of it, it seems like a mantra, but IMHO it is just as ineffective. They are people on a mission.
The weathermen are a terrorist organization: Weather Underground - WikipediaI guess that makes weathermen terrorists also because they report tornadoes coming.
But there's plenty who aren't viewed as doomsday cults who still go around scaring people with terrifying end of the world and hell crap, like JWs and other fundie Christians. Generations of people have been traumatized by this garbage. Whenever I see Christian propaganda scaring people about that stuff, I ball it up and chuck it in the trash, where it belongs.
Yes.no spiritual hereafter?
and no Hierarchy?
looks like Chaos awaits
Well, yes.Terrorism is not far from Religious terrorists. We have seen examples of that all through the history.

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.
