It would be you! Just because you give someone commands with consequences doesn't mean that you are doing something moral.

Christians are inherently authoritarians, and their so-called morality, in the end, comes down to "might makes right" and "obey without question".  Of course, they won't acknowledge that they are authoritarians or that they subscribe to "might makes right" because they wipe their asses with the Hebrew Bible whenever it suits them and because of the kinder, gentler moral commandments they like to focus on (golden rule, etc.) -- in addition to the fact that the dictator they bow down to is not mortal (or even something they can demonstrate exists).

I agree, very dishonest indeed.

Many still do defend this evil god, so why don't they mimic him? Maybe because they think it is immoral (and dishonestly defend god, while knowing that god knows they are dishonestly defending him).. Probably. They can choose to be a cunt like the father, the son.. who is better but still a cunt, or the mystery holy ghost. Not great options for a role model, let alone, someone to worship.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
