I think Voldemort is pretty immoral too, it doesn't follow that I think Voldemort is real and that I want him to be immoral, I'm just making a judgment based on his actions as depicted in the fiction.So let's make a judgment of God as he is depicted in the Bible. God sends his son Jesus to suffer and die for our sins, so that we may live forever. How do you (or other atheists here) make sense of this behavior?
Die and then come back to life after the weekend to reign eternally in heaven.*
Would you like me to send my son out to suffer, and die, so that I'm able to forgive my neighbour for keeping me awake at night?
Let's make more judgements based on his actions... Ordering deaths of infants, genocide, sacrificing sons - oh, wait, he was only joking - the eternal hell sentence for the people that don't believe he's real... I could probably go on.
My judgement of him is that he's a bit of an ass.
