Because God can forgive a homosexual.
And homosexuals can forgive a homophobic god. Or is it god's homophobic fan club? Even god wears stylish shoes now and then.

Why can't he forgive an atheist, though? If he can do all things, why not just forgive everybody and forget the whole 'worship me' stuff? And if he made everybody, and is omniscient, shouldn't he have known that there would be people who would denounce him and already have forgiven them?

How can God forgive someone who doesn't even believe He exists? The greatest commandment is to love God.

I'm responding to the comment, "considering how much of America believes in God." Wow. On one hand I can understand your assumption. On the other yikes! I don't even know what else to say. The question was great to hear how others think. Well, interesting and some quite scary!

I think I'm more interested in figuring out how I access the cool little faces. I'm new to this sight I have not figured out the details.

Thanks for putting out the questions. I hope you were entertained.

By the way how can any of the things you identify be "wrong" or "right" for that matter. That would imply that what the person that voted "wrong's" belief is "right? Or vice versa. Well there I go being a sticker. Enjoy all... .

If there is god, it must be the Giant Invisible Baby King, since they'll throw a colossal tempertantrum just because someone didn't believe in their existence.
