Your promblem is with religion not God.

Defining god as simply "the goodness within" isn't very useful. Why not just call it goodness and keep the fairy-tales out of it?

No, I don't believe in any god(s), and therefore have no problem with any of 'em. Those followers who insist on introducing their beliefs into the laws of the land, or my doorstep on a Saturday morning, or try to inject their beliefs into my son's education -- those are the assholes who give me heartburn.

As an aside -- the next time you talk about someone else's feelings, perhaps you'd ought to let them tell you what they feel, rather than vice-versa. It's simple courtesy, you know.

Perhaps then Satan is simply the tendency to senescence, disease and death? Odd that Satan always defeats God in the end by these definitions.

Whether it's a god itself or the religion devoted to worshiping it, I still don't believe in it.  I don't believe in the god and I don't believe the religious beliefs.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

No, the problem is with people who think there is a God.
