I'm sorry. I answered a question posed to me and defended an accusation against me. Please address the people that are taking it off-topic rahter than those of us that are defending ourselves against them.

I've asked you to elaborate on WHY you believe what you've stated. You have yet to do that. WHY are your statements correct? WHY should we believe your opinion as you stated it in the OP?

Then you don't understand holiness. Think of it as pure. If something pure comes into contact with something impure, both are tainted-it is no longer pure. That's why we can only come to God through Christ, who is pure and gave His life for us.

Your god's "holiness" is expressed by mass-murder and condoning rape.

As to the OP, I disagree.

My wrath can be roused by witnessing bullying, or racist/bigoted comments. Or by the self-righteous pontificating of bible drones.

The bible godling's wrath seems a natural byproduct of his psychosis.

Still waiting. Why is your opinion the standard? At one point the best minds thought the earth was flat. They were wrong. So why should we believe you're correct?

I reread my post and saw that you would be right about this, so I deleted that sentence. Thanks.

Yes, Dude, but that arrousal is based on your desire and hope that people will act reasonably and humanely.

Clearly the concept of "holy" that results in wrath is totally off-base. Self-contradictory at best, barbaric at worst.
