Also, when did we suddenly decide that omnipotent can be equated with goodness? Power is known to corrupt, and absolute power...
Oh, but I suppose God is perfect and incorruptible, therefore the rules don't apply to him, never have and never will. And who was it who apparently told you of his perfection? Oh that's right! The big man himself! My, what an extraordinarily high opinion he has of himself! And he demands your complete and unyielding worship and adoration as well, otherwise he will send you to a place that is specifically designed to instill as much agony and fear in a human being is possible. And he could quite easily not BURN YOU FOR ETERNITY, but he does anyway, because...?
Oh that's it, because you refused the gift he offered you! You refused to have a relationship with him. Yes, yes of course. In your heretical employment of that pesky free will he programmed you with, you simply couldn't muster up the belief in his existence due to a laughable lack of actual empirical evidence. Therefore, you will BURN FOR ETERNITY.
Oh, but you should have known he existed! Look around you, can't you see the wonder of nature and the miracle of life? Yes, I do, and I am amazed by it. I do not require belief in a cloud-riding sky fairy to give substance to that amazement though. I see nothing that exists that could only have been designed.
I see global horrors playing out daily. I see suffering on a truly immense scale, and evil vested interests manipulating the world and its people. I see these horrors, and they reinforce themselves in my mind and fuse with the utter lack of evidence for a deity, and what emerges is a two-step atheistic chimaera.
1) There is no evidence for God.
2) If he does exist, he is wicked.
I may as well put that in my sig, I have a feeling I'm gonna be saying it a lot to an array of chucklefucks over the next few years...
