God, if he actually does exist, is a terrorist.

Prove or refute.

I don't think that we can answer definitively whether God is a
terrorist.  (If we could prove that he is a terrorist, then no good
person would follow God.  We are Google Answers Researchers; but we're
not *that* clever.  Nor are we clever enough to prove that he isn't a
terrorist, given all of the calamities in the world.)

However, we can find good discussions of the issue.  With that in
mind, would this be a sufficient answer?

This is a good start.  Do you have any similar links?

Something which refers to the great flood (of Noah's time) and the
destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah would be great resources.

There is no answer at this time.

Assuming all monotheistic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and
any others) believe in the same God, that one.

I think you take a shot at religions when you say that Christianity
and Islam have the same God. If that would be the case, Christians
would consider Muslims Christians and Christians would also be
Muslisms. Just saying... It is disrespectful for the religious system
to say that a group of religions are the same.

do you believe in God? If you don't your question should not be if God
is a terrorist or not. If you do believe a certain God is a terrorist
then specify which one, and then specify if you even think such God
exists. If you don't you are asking if an imaginary character is a
terrorist. That would be like asking if Fred Flinstone is a terrorist
by what happened in the episodes of "The Flinstones".

absolutetruth-ga, funny name you got there.  Muslims are not
Christians because they do not believe that Jesus is the Son of
God/one of the "three persons" of God.  Christians are not Muslims
becuase they do not accept Mohammed as a prophet.  There are lother
differences, but those are the main ones.  Most Christians and Muslims
and Jews accept that they worship the same God, each group just thinks
the others do it wrong.

Nelson,
A couple of days ago I drafted the following comment, but let me say
that I go along with your comments.

Since you question whether God actually exists, it is impossible to
come to a "brilliant realization" about Him.  Indeed, even just a
personal conclusion about His being a terrorist must assume that He
actually exists.
"Prove or refute" this before we bring in the big "canons".  ;)

As to the Great Flood and Sodom and Gomorrah, I don't count these as
terrorism since in each instance the folks knew that they were not
living in accordance to His laws and in S and G He gave them a chance
to escape His vengeance.  That is not terrorism, just a vengant God  -
out of style these days by most interpretations, but there could be
some who combine the events with reference to New Orleans  - maybe
throwing in a little disregard for the Kyoto Agreement as a further
sin against nature by the elected representatives of the people.

Good morning,

Why is my name funny :(  ? I know why Christians are not Muslims and
why Muslims are not Christian. I think you have a point in saying that
in a way they worship the same God since they all seem to worship the
God of Abraham, but I think it should be explored how we define how
they are the same since after the writings of Moses there are some
differences between Christianity and Islam and who they say God is and
what He does.

You have ignored to answer the question asked earlier so I will ask it
again. Do you believe in God? Or do you believe that there is a God,
misinterpreted by 3 religions and that you don't want to have anything
to do with God. I don't know how it can be answered if God is a
terrorist if we don't know you are refering to YHWH, The Trinity, or
Allah.

I think this comment is coming on a little negative, so let me
apologize, I really just want to know where you are coming from is all
.

I was raised Catholic, but I guess I'm agnostic now.  If he does
exist, the fact that he may be misinterpreted does not change him.  He
is who he is regardless of what religions decide about him.

If you are an agnostic then you must believe that there is
insufficient evidence to know wether or not God exists. To discuss
wether God is a terrorist or not is to assume His existance. If it is
impossible to know that God exists, asking if he is a terrorist or not
does not make sense.

From: nelson-ga on 08 Sep 2005 03:47 PDT
 
It would not make sense if I were an atheist, which I guess I may be
bordering on.  As an agnostic, it makes perfect sense.  What are you,
by the way?

Anyway, if he does exist, I'm not very interested in worshipping him. 
He either causes death throughout the world, is powerless to stop it,
or just sits back and does nothng about it.  In any case, he's not the
sort of deity that I want.

If God does exist then he created you, and if you value life then that
must mean something to you. If God does exist and he's not the sort of
diety you want that's a choice you make with all the information
provided, but as an agnostic you can never have enough information to
make any decision on God or his behaviour so if there can never be
enough evidence right now to say He exists, then there can never be
enough evidence right now to call Him a terrorist.

Have you ever heard the term "for sake of discussion"?

You have to know the correct menaing of the word terrorist.  In our
Wester society, everyone is labeled a terrorist.  The word is used in
every political speech.

I live int he west world and here most people have been brainwashed to
think terrorist with the words (islam ,jihad, virgins)  It is all a
corrupt way of thinking.

ALLAH is my GOD.  He is AL-rehman and ar- Raheem.  The Most
Magnificent and the Most Merfciful.  I obery Muhammad (PBUH) and I do
fear ALLAH.

You mean the same Allah who's earthquake recently killed thousands of
Muslims and other God-fearing folk?  The God who ravaged New Orleans? 
The God who will smite you on a whim?

Yes, let us praise him and offer thanks indeed, for he is kind and merciful.
