if you could see the insult in thanking Him. I see the otherside of it.

Thanking God for finally delivering you.. means the same as tell a lady "your new hair style makes you look younger".
It implies she looked older yesterday. same with God you telling Him.. He could have provided better for you yesterday. Insulting His 'lowly' provisions, or saying He doesn't always give you the best.
And I am not buying your God punishes until you get it (see the light).
Again a accusation in disguise. saying He picks on people just because they don't get it.
Remember the spoon fed "He knows what you are going to ask for before you pray for it" taught in most belief systems.
So why waste you time asking? Doy, He already knows.
Now realize also the stories of Satan being tormented forever. Means he will be kept alive forever, because it is extremely difficult to torment a dead guy. And as I pointed out Romans 8:21 " even the creature ... will join the children of God in glourious freedom".
Am I the devils advocate? No. I am hoping you will see deeper into these parables in scripture.
Like the vanity of vanitys, which bottom line means.. Some guy who says He is going to come back from the dead and kill all the children of evil people, and take vengence with anger and fury.
Where would he get the permission from? God would not allow one of his children to kill another. and again if satan gets to live forever, shouldn't everyone else get to live forever.
When do you think God lost control? Why do you assume God had no foresight of scriptures in the future that would claim to be from Him? Do you think God wouldn't know in 2007 our calander would be off by 11 days? Who created anything in existance other than God?... and are you double-minded?.. or can you see since all things came from Him, "and in Him is no darkness at all" 1 John 1:5?? how can any dark thing come out of or be created by Him? So there is no dark thing in existance. Only vain labels and proclaimations from vain men saying such things exist. And I apologize to Him on your behalf, for your believing such a horrid..
