Nope, that means I'm making fun of the concept of god. A simple google search would have told you that.

Hmmm.................
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Consider "heaven".

You are going to be stuck - forever - with a narcisistic murdering rapist who thinks that anyone who opposes him about ANYTHING deserves and will recieve eternal torture.......

....

You gotta be one seriously damaged individual to think that's a sweet deal.....

I think Trump more qualifies as purgatory.
You know that at some point - it WILL end...

Your description of god seems to fit Trump, though.

God's justification? He loves you. That's why it is frequently said that Christians are in an abusive relationship with God and should dump him.

[Image: creepy.jpg]
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"

To qualify as a god - you would need more muscle, better hair and the tan would have to be real.....
