It is much safer when you fail to do the Do’s than choose to do the Don’ts. People, out of ignorance mock God, a Sovereign Supreme Being. They do it with an excuse that they do not believe in His existence.
Well, if you do not believe in Him then keep off.
God exists and is immortal. The evidence of His existence is in the Holy Scriptures: Romans 1: 20. God has left no human being without evidence of His existence.
What does such supremacy require of us inferior beings? In His eyes, the whole world is like a drop in a bucket, less than nothing: Isaiah 40:15-17.
From us God requires honor, respect adoration, and all praise; if this is unfit for you, then DO NOT MOCK GOD. Galatians 6:7 warns.
Are there people who mocked God? What happened to them?
Here is a list of some famous people who deemed themselves smarter than the Creator, and attempted to mock Him, but met premature deaths.
