Comparing Religion to Fairy Tales and Myths Equal Atheism

RE: Comparing Religion to Fairy Tales and Myths Equal Atheism
(July 22, 2015 at 7:56 am)The Inquisition Wrote: It's odd though, the biblical god was an anti-hero as he had genocidal rages and questionable ethics, yet people still maintain his goodness.

It would be the same as Superman destroying Metropolis, then saying he was a good guy, why would anyone believe it?

I couldn't agree with you more. Which is actually why I have a problem with a number of other (but non-religious) characters in fantasy literature.

I very much admire Superman, and other comic book originated superheros, by the way. Especially as we are never inclined to believe they exist or ever did.
