Agreed. I meant all of God's crimes, in terms of the commands issued in the Old Testament and parts of the New.
They're all based on the same concept, the most base level of human motivation - xenophobia and control - and are thus equally vile. Genocide is just "murder of the Other Tribe" committed hundreds or thousands or millions of times in a row.
I suppose if God stole an apple, I'd call that a lesser crime.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
