God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Hey you can get some good "visions and dreams" when you're hittin some good reefer. Combine that with a steadfast adherence to an ancient book and ... voila! Instant revelations from god!

The same fuckin' way you judge all of us for being heathens. Get off your damn high horse.
If I got on my high horse you would know it. I wish you were not a heathen and I wish you were a christian, that however is your decision to make and it's not for me to judge you for not making what I believe to be the correct decision.

Key word being "belief" they're are an unfathomable amount of religious people who want us to convert. Each with their own ethos, God and "proofs" MTost Ateists are freethinking people and go with evidence and reason. When given that We will convert. It really is that simple.
That however is not very likely to happen, But the emphasis is on YOU( person making the claim) To prove it. Until then please keep the condescension to a minimum.

I've said before that I've never met a single Christian who didn't see Jesus as a glorified reflection of themselves. They claim that their god provides an objective standard of morals and yet this standard always seem to be whatever they want it to be.

From a deist point of view what is the standard for benevolence?

GC isn't condescending..his god, another story.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I don't understand your question. Can you rephrase?
