You obviously imply God's wrath or whatever danger related to God one wants to consider. If that was not the danger you referred to, tell me specifically how your comment about the danger I am supposedly in - in relation to God - can be any other type of danger. Use logic.

You also assume to know that I am in danger because of God's concerns, thereby assuming to know that I am in danger because of your interpretation of God's reading of my joke. That's hubris. You don't know what God thinks. Your interpretatation is not necessarily God's interpretation. To assume that it is God's interpretation is overestimating your abilities, as somehow capable of knowing God's thoughts on the subject.

You also insult an omniscient God by assuming that God would be so dumb as to misunderstand my joke. Omniscient God isn't a dumb narcissist asshole micromanager. You have to think of a being who knows everything and is the most intelligent, and that God understands jokes, especially against demons like Trump.

If I tell you to stop playing in the street because you could get hit by a car, is that implying God's wrath? If you get out there anyway, you put yourself in danger. You do not understand me or God if you think his wrath is implied. I am saying you are responsible for yourself.

Next time you are in danger, will you call on the Lord Jesus Christ? If your answer is no, then you can see how your flippant attitude towards him has destroyed your faith. Instead of arguing with me, you could be reconciled to God by humbling yourself and asking for his forgiveness. Then get right with him. Trust him.... You will need faith in Jesus to survive the events that are now taking place.

Now you've changed what you wrote into this note about God not being present in your comment. YOU wrote:

You have put yourself in danger for joking about the Lord doing something perverted, which he would not. Repent while you can so you may be forgiven.

You are referring directly to the Lord, stating that I said the Lord was doing something perverted. Ergo I am in danger. AGAIN: in danger of what? Of the Lord noticing what I did and the Lord's response to it?

You can't argue over and over that you are not referring to God's response. You are. Thus you CANNOT compare what I wrote about Trump to "playing in the street." Indeed, as you indicate, playing in the street does not necessarily incur God's wrath. There's no comparison.

Moreover, monks have made bawdy jokes - including Jesus in those jokes - since the time of the first monks.

They have known and you should know that omnicient God is NOT concerned with bawdy jokes, because if he/she were, he'd/she'd be an idiot. (Don't insult God.)

You didn't answer my question, as if you can't hear me. Perhaps you thought it was rhetorical. My question was, "Next time you are in danger, will you call on the Lord Jesus Christ?" You would do well to examine your heart. You are in danger of having no faith to get you through the events that are coming in like a flood. The scriptures say, Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Will you call on the name of the Lord? If you do not, you also will not be saved.... from dangers of all kinds.

Additional questions avoid the topic.

If you want to argue that I am in danger because my joke indicates that I don't have faith, or I cannot "call on the name of the Lord" or the other things you mention, that changes the topic to several other claims, all of which refer back to God's potential disapproval of me and potential response or non-response, however you want to see it. My response is (still) that an omnicient God would NOT behave like a selfish jerk. For example, were I to pray to God, it's not likely that an omnicient God would listen to the prayer and think - oh, you're the one who made that tasteless joke about Jesus and Trump - so I will ignore your prayers. That's a selfish jerk, not an omnicient God who would understand dumb jokes are just dumb jokes, not something to be taken seriously. Moreover, it was Jesus who tried to change the tradition of the jealous, spiteful God into a tradition of a forgiving, welcoming God. Are you a good Christian if you overlook Jesus's teachings? Respect God, rather than assume that you can represent God's wishes on earth. Your relationship with God is direct to God, as is mine. We cannot tell anyone else what God might do to them, or that God might ignore them. We can only reference scripture, discuss our experiences, and even encourage others to appreciate God's blessings in our lives. The moment we claim to know what God would do is the moment that we compare God's actions to human actions, which is an insult to omnicient God, and to Jesus, who, by his actions, provided human responses that help others through his examples. Jesus could say what God might do to sinners, but we sound foolish if we are to presume to have that knowledge, to have Jesus's knowledge.

By the way - here's a wonderful video for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/197o8em/a_very_pertinent_hitchslap

I don't agree with him, but his point about extremists are spot on. I'd argue that 90%+ religious people aren't so extreme.
