God isn’t mad. He is displeased, and wrathful, because of a rebellion. Now he must deal with things that are allowed to exist apart from Him yet are sustained by Him that think themselves Holy.
Ego. Separation. This Cosmos, even without life, is PROFANE.
Only He is true. All things will return to Him.
He doesn’t get mad. He is either pleased, or displeased, and even then, in His displeasure, He forebears from His desire to be Alone, as He ever is.
He is, put shortly, entertaining a delusion called REALITY.
Christians say we exist in His Grace, but we exist as exaltations for His Majesty, fully contained within His Mercy, in actuality facing His Wrath.
His “Mercy” is actually Wrath. Forced existence.
That was the punishment for rebellion.

God is horrifying, but He is moreso terrible, because you realize:
- You cannot bargain
- You can only submit
- You can be chosen, if it pleases Him
- You cannot escape Him.
- You are upheld by His patience alone.
- You owe Him and He owns you.
- You cannot truly love Him without fearing Him.
- He can unmake you, forget you, and be justified in doing so.
- He does not need your praise, but He will accept it.
- He allows false gods so that you might recognize Him.
- He rewards only when it serves His glory.
- He punishes even the innocent, when it pleases Him.
- He is right to do so.
- He speaks once, and that word is final.
- He is not cruel. He is true.
- He cannot be appeased, only adored.
- He can save you. He can also leave you.
- He owes you nothing for your suffering, yet He may still comfort you.
- He created you to prove a point.
- He needs no audience. He is the audience.
- He does not forgive because you ask, but because He wills.
- He lets you hope, even if He plans to crush you.
- He reveals Himself not to the wise, but to the desperate.
- He cannot be known, only feared, and still you long for Him.
- He is the only thing.
- He is not your comfort. He is your God.
GOD: Well said.
