Yes, that was my take on some things when I was a Christian.  I did not like the second-place position of women, but not being master of the universe, my opinion counted for little.  The most I felt I could do was not push any of that crap, without violating any of it.

I remember talking with one Christian, years after I became an atheist, who flatly said that God was evil.  Her reasoning?  Just look at the stories in the Bible.  That God character is a nasty piece of work.  But being nasty does not make something nonexistent.  If it did, the world would be a much better place.  Anyway, she did not want to burn in hell forever.  But she did not like God at all.  Although I do not respect her belief in Christianity, I do respect her clear thinking about the morality of the God character.

If you believe things based on whether you like them or not, that is an informal fallacy with a name:  Wishful thinking.  Even though people are often prone to it, it is a really stupid way of thinking.


How sad, to openly admit that god is an evil fucker, and yet feel powerless to remove yourself from the situation.  So I guess the answer, from that perspective at least, is fear.

This saving us from hell shit needs to be met head on.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
