I’m sorry but that’s how “God”

The quote above is mockery.
I find it strange that you can find the quotation marks to engage in mockery, yet you can not find the period key to end your sentences.
 
There is nothing to prevent any person from using any user name they fancy, whether they themselves belong to a profession named or not (i.e., “Rocket Scientist”, “Ph.D”, etc. I admit myself to having a tote with “Ph.D” on it but it’s a joke as it carefully spells out “P(rojects) H(alf) D(one) witha picture of needles and yarn!) But most of us would become suspicious of the bona fides of a 'profession name user name” if a rocket scientist did not know a basic math term and used it incorrectly, or if a teacher made basic grammar errors having nothing to do with dyslexia. Well, “Teacher” can respond or not as he or she chooses, but I think I already have enough clues, and that a wish for Teacher’s good health and success in finding grace and peace is sufficient.
 
Teacher, I am not one to mock. I am sharing with you a way to improve and it is the program Grammarly. It has helped me tremendously. I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, therefore, I search for ways to improve. Sorry, if you took it the wrong way and I hurt you. It was not my intent.
 
Or maybe a sea that parts, or a rock that gushes forth water, or bread that appears every morning to sustain them, or a bronze serpent that heals fatal snakebites.
No one has ever seen God. The knowledge we have of God is something I call intuitive knowledge. We know something exists not because we see IT, but because we see its effects.
For a Christian, you sure ask some pretty arcane and mocking questions re; the history of God’s interaction with his people.
 
How odd
Of God
To Choose
The Jews.

–William Norman Ewer
 
Well then that means God is very selective like I said in an earlier statement why did God help Moses cross the red sea to escape Egypt. But he seemed to refuse or didn’t feel like splitting the barbed wire for the Jews in the camps. Now that to me is says God doesn’t care enough to interact with us anymore or has lost interested, or there is no God to begin with
 
Quite right!

And here’s the answer:

Not odd of God. / Goyim annoy 'im
(attributed Leo Rosten)
 
LOL because Goyem annoy Him!

But seriously, why does God have to show Himself at our pleasure?
 
Well the really questions is why not show himself and who said is was for our pleasure

God did show himself, and not only to the Jewish people either.
Would you like to know how? The answer is pretty simple.
 
God became man, and that man is known as Jesus Christ.
I said the answer is a simple one.
 
No, but other people have and they wrote about Him.

Have you seen George Washington, or Julius Caesar, or Sun Tzu?
 
People see and write about dragons doesn’t mean that they are real I wish they were both real but there is little proff of both

Christ once said to Peter, “Peter, you are thinking as man thinks, not as God thinks.” A very dangerous statement to toss at a question like yours. On an emotional level, I don’t think I would even try to answer it.
I just have to wonder though, if God sees the situation of man’s misery, and says to himself, “but there is so much better to come… patience my children” or something like that. Again, I fear an answer such as that could only be interpreted as the height of hubris. But might it be true? Because as it is my contention that all life is an either or proposition. I cannot see the absolute beauty and perfection of all existence, absent man’s atrocity, and think that the final end is chaos, hatred, murder, death, rot, and decay. There has to be something better.

A decade ago, there was a man of my acquaintance in the town in which I lived. I owned a business on main street and every day in good weather, a man, I’ll call him Bob, came down to sit on the benches to have lunch,and enjoy the people, especially the pretty girls. Bob was afflicted with terrible cerebral palsy, he couldn’t speak, just grunt and groan, he staggered badly when he walked, was spastic to the n th degree. Honestly, to my simple human mind, I have to wonder why God allows such a condition to exist. Or is it that in Bob’s case, his condition, in the mind of God, would prevent him from ever committing an action that would eternally part him from God. That his condition is, (and I use this term with trepidation) a gift that we who will be held far more accountable, don’t have. (And yes, a gift that, no, I really wouldn’t want it either) Is the 50 years of misery here, to be washed away, by an eternity in the presence of all Bob lacked here on earth?
It is the only way I can make sense of such things.
