First your God forbid it, not my God. Fact is just because you really, really want to believe in the Christian God and believe that you know his word (since no one really does) doesn't make it true.
Tell you what why don't you hold your breathe waiting for me to covert!?! Problem is just as you believe in your heart that your faith is right, I believe in my heart my faith is right. I've never been happier with myself and my faith since I've stopped living the Christian lie that I lived at one time. Only different is I don't care what anyone's religion is as long they don't try to shove it down my throat, legislate laws according to their own personal belief and don't try to blow me up, burn me at the stake or some other ridiculous notion.

The God.

That's correct; it's true independent of my desires.
I've never been happier with myself and my faith since I've stopped living the Christian lie that I lived
That's very telling. The human heart is wicked above all things. That you're happy with your self isn't a good sign, but disturbing. We should all be grieved at the state of our souls, left to themselves. You should recognize that you're on the wrong path.

I'm not unhappy with myself or the state of my soul so I'm on the wrong path? Have you been spiking the kool aid?

I'm going to take a page out of your book and judge you. What a horrible way to go through life.

20 Basic Truths You Can’t Talk About in America Anymore

John Hawkins | Jun 08, 2013

1) People who want to change sexes should be treated by a psychologist, not deformed through surgery, given hormone treatments, and falsely told that they can change sexes.

2) Most people who remain poor over the long haul in America stay that way because of their own poor life choices.

3) Most black Americans are good and decent people, but percentage wise there are more black Americans in jail because percentage wise, black Americans commit a lot more crimes than white Americans.

4) As often as not in America, the people claiming to be "victims" are the real bullies and they don't deserve anyone's sympathy.

5) The reason most politicians in D.C. are shameless liars with no character is because most Americans will knowingly choose a shameless liar with no character who says what they want to hear over an honest man with morals who tells them the hard truths they'd rather ignore.

6) Illegal aliens are foreigners who knowingly broke the law to come here and Americans owe them even less than we owe other foreigners living in China, Sweden, or El Salvador because at least those people didn't break our laws.

7) Life begins at conception and having an abortion is no morally different than strangling your baby in the crib.

8) Most liberals aren't patriotic and they don't love their country.

9) Our soldiers should make every effort to avoid civilian casualties, but when it comes right down to it, the life of an American soldier should be treated as more important than the life of a foreign civilian. [Don't agree with this one.]

10) We'd be better off as a society if the people who are ignorant, ill informed, or who really don't care one way or another, didn't vote. [They're called Democrats.]

11) The only practical way to make peace between the Israelis and Palestinians is for the Israelis to transfer the Palestinians and take their land.

12) This is a Christian nation that has been successful because it adopted Christian principles and the more we move away from that, the worse off we will be as a nation.

13) Men are just generally better at some things than women, just as women are just generally better at some things than men are.

14) "Racism" used to be a big deal in America, but these days the people who cry racism are usually phonies trying to gain a political advantage or deflect from ethical shortcomings or poor performance.

15) Long term, the only way our country can pay its bills is by asking everyone who's not dirt poor to pay as much in taxes to the government as they're given in services if they want to continue to receive those services.

16) Nine times out of ten, a mother and father will do a considerably better job of raising a child than a single mother, a single father, two gay parents or their grandparents.

17) The Boy Scouts could never survive gay scoutmasters because no parents with a brain in their head are sending their male, teenage boy out in the woods alone with a gay man who may very well be attracted to him, just as the parents of Girl Scouts wouldn't want to send their teenage daughter out alone in the woods with a straight adult who might secretly be savoring the opportunity to have her alone. [Only a fool believes otherwise.]

18) People who are homeless over the long term are overwhelmingly mentally ill or have substance abuse problems and the only thing we can really do to help them is round them up, put them into halfway houses and force them to get treatment in spite of themselves.

19) If you have good character, you should feel ashamed of taking food stamps, taking welfare, or being on a school lunch program. [Better stated, if being on welfare doesn't make you feel ashamed, you're trash.]

20) We would be much better off as a nation if most of the immigrants to this country were well educated people from nations in Europe that shared our Western values as opposed to our current policy which brings in mostly less educated people from Third World nations.

Number 21 should be: Only dopes use dope...

If that were true, why is The God so jealous of all the other ones?
Because any idol you make steals devotion from God. As the Bible says, you can chop down a tree, use half of it to build a fire to warm yourself and cook over, then carve an idol out of the other half and bow down to it.

The idols we make for ourselves in modern times are no less silly.

Apart from Christ, the state of your soul is hideous. That you don't realize it says something about your condition.

God didn't say "idols," he said "other gods." Idolatry is worshiping a person or an object, which is not the same as worshiping another god. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," and "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image," are two distinctly different things.

It's bad enough that an omnipotent being would be jealous of sculpture and carvings, be he's so insecure that he can't handle any competition?

Keep in mind that He started as one of many tribal gods in the early Old Testament, then got "promoted" to Head Cheese in the Sinai when he said in the Commandments to "have no OTHER gods before me", and was that when he lived in the Temple in Jerusalem. It was only during the Babylonian Captivity that YHWH became a universal "god," instead of a tribal one just for the Jews. Since that time, for the Jews (and, by extension, the "Christians", sort of, if you can handle the "3 in 1" thing) YHWH has been the one and only "god".

It would certainly seem that God is not jealous, per se, but that the Abrahamics and Christians feel threatened if you question the uniqueness of their god. They will certainly make ever effort to put the fear of God into anyone who suggests there might be other gods out there.

I can't believe that even you are so arrogant so as to know what God tells other people. 1 Samuel 2:3

It goes against everything taught in scripture, therefore it's wrong. If you believe God told you to worship Satan instead of Christ, you could know that you're absolutely mistaken. If someone else told you God told them that, you could know they are wrong. This is precisely the same. In the same way that you can know you're not to worship Satan instead of Christ, you can know that you're a wretched sinner, like me. Apart from Christ, you are the farthest condition possible, no better than Jeffrey Dahmer or Adolf Hitler, from being in good shape.

So no, God did not tell him that or anything like it.
