Don't project your life onto others. Some people are quite happy and productive without a god looking over their shoulders.

That's not our fault. We have a book that's supposed to be our window into what he's like, and most of it involves killing. And apparently when he comes back, he's going to do it again.

Sure, plenty of people. Even some of the relative strangers on this board, but...ah...it seems like we're drifting? Was there something you wanted to know, or?

Indeed, I've had enough of that; and I don't hang around folks even a fraction as nasty as the character in magic book...so why anyone would imagine that their god would be worth knowing, to me, is beyond me.

So killing is no good?

Are we about to be treated to another round of apologism for the horrid acts of your alleged "god" that you simultaneously insist don't exist and/or were righteous? I mean this in the friendliest way, but I don't think you've got the pulse of the conversation or your audience.

I am not capable of knowing you, I could identify with a few things, but to fully get you? No, there would not be enough time to comprehend you, your thoughts and experiences... and you can't even recall half of your life. Millions of details are missing.
I still believe that you exist, and I believe in your whole human nature.
