I don't know which is worse. That your gawd allegedly created an eternal torture chamber or that your morality sees no problem with it.
No allegedly, He did. Who am I to question the wisdom of the eternal God.

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.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The only reason he gets away with this shit is that there's a specific forum rule allowing threats from religious scripture. I'm not in favour of that, to be honest. Just quoting it is one thing, but otherwise openly threatening people (even when it's on behalf of your imaginary friend) is messed up.
I suppose it's because we find these threats about as scary as a three year old waving a Darth Vader toy at us. But it's extremely hypocritical how they'd cry blue murder if we started threatening them back.
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just telling you that it's a fact that a sniper will shoot you in the head if you don't wire me 50 grand."

No, GC. It's obvious you're a blind follower, not a questioner.

It's manly to be a devout theist until as long as you don't turn in to obsessed mind-fucker.

I think the morality is a far bigger problem. The god and the eternal torture chamber may be fictional, but GC's attitude towards people who reject his belief system is utterly inexcusable.
