It'd be a damn sight more convincing than some elaborate plan of impregnating a virgin in the middle east and mind controlling the offspring to spread some hippy message of love before being sacrificed for all of humanity and then supposedly being resurrected but no one really saw it but we have to 'believe' blah blah blah bollocks bollocks bollocks.

There's better ways to communicate the message across than what god's apparently tried, and if I can think of a few then he's either deliberately being vague, he's shit at communicating, or, maybe, just maybe, HE DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST AND IT'S ALL A LOAD OF SHIT.

The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. And they actually exist(ed).

You must have forgotten where the burden of proof lies. Sorry but your attempts to connect the dots between reality and this imagination of yours is a hopeless endeavor. Even you Christians proudly admit, thoughts and words fail to convey God...precisely as we would expect from a primitive fantasy founded on pretzel logic.

I know better than "God". I know that owning another human being as property is wrong. I know that the stars are not merely lamps attached to the sky. I know that sterilising the planet with a flood and then reseeding all the lifeforms you just wiped out is not an effective method of eradicating 'evil'; especially for an entity usually defined as infinitely powerful.

Every example you take is out of context. Furthermore, as much as you may think so you don't know God's motives or can compare to His knowledge or wisdom. Lastly, you judge God but He is the one who is sovereign and judges. He doesn't have to give account to man.

Pity, because going by the mythology the character would seriously have benefitted from some competent advice.

- To those who place God in the same category as Zeus and Peter Pan, that will all change once stand before Him at the end of our lives.

Yet the grassroots faithful are so thin-skinned that they're programmed to see offence everywhere and apply what they pass off as condign action to silence critics. It's almost as if this "God" has all the power of the nonexistent and can't even take offence by itself, isn't it?

How can you give a blanket statement about the "grassroots faithful." Would it be fair for me to say that the "grassroots atheists" are all this way or that way?

Fine. Now demonstrate that and support the testimony. I'll start you off: which god?
