[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never understood the common modern concept of God as compassionate, merciful, saving, etc. But wondering if anyone actively believes in God as a vengeful and willfully violent/aggressive being? I'm not talking about the devil/satan, or some off-shoot. But the idea of a supreme being/deity.[/quote]

Can you describe when you have seen God act in a vengeful way?

Billions of people and I have never seen proof.  Please share.[/quote]

There can be no proof of God acting vengefully or mercifully because God is beyond nature and nothing that is supernatural can be testing empirically.  It's all a matter of faith.[/quote]

Some religious believers who are extremely intelligent and highly educated, know that normal investigative methods and logic ultimately can't be applied to religious belief.

Yes, there is evidence of some things from biblical times and yes there is not evidence of many other things.  This doesn't matter to a person of faith.  FAITH is what matters. A strong faith overcomes whatever doubts and concerns one might have about certain aspects of religion.  A strong faith does not mean never having doubts - not at all.  Doubts are considered to be a normal part of faith.   Doubts are ultimately overcome or subdued by the presence of a strong faith.[/quote]
