Let's skip to Proverbs 1:
26 I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes,
27 When your dread comes like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 "Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek Me diligently but they will not find Me,
29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD.
30 "They would not accept My counsel, they spurned all my reproof.
31 "So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way and be satiated with their own devices.
32 "For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
33 "But he who listens to Me shall live securely and will be at ease from the dread of evil."

Re: Let's skip to Proverbs 1:
I must have cracked up Modulous as well. It seems he has paused mocking the God of the Bible for a while.

Re: Leviticus
My how fast you skip over the Lev 17:11 which declares this:
​
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.
​
This shows that you neither understand the central truth of all of Scripture - the blood covenant as given by God for man to receive atonement for his sins, nor care one whit as you continue to mock the God of the Bible.
​
Prov 14:8-9 The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way, but the foolishness of fools is deceit. Fools mock at sin, but among the upright there is good will.

Re: Leviticus
If the character is real, he's a big boy and has faced a lot worse than anything I can dish out. Not only that, but I'll get my just reward for my 'mocking'.
​
So it all balances out, so don't stress too much about it.
​
Don't worry about my stressing out. The stress will be all yours as described in Proverbs 14:12:
​
There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
​
At least you are truthfull when you recognize that you will get your "just reward" for mocking God, if as "you" say He's real. Yes, God has faced a lot worse than you and other unbelievers can dish out. The final enemy to be overcome is the one (satan) who steals, kills, and destroys, but Christ has come that you might have eternal life, and have it more abundantly.
​
Blessings

Re: Leviticus
I appreciate that Christians interpret the whole OT through a NT lens, as Muslims interpret them both through a Qu'ranic lens.
​
Yes, Christians interpret the OT thru the NT lens. We can do no other because of what Jesus said in John 16,
​
13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
14 "He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.
15 "All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
​
What boggles the mind of Christians is how unbelievers think they can understand the OT or the NT without entering into relationship with the God of the Bible wherein He discloses Himself to you.
