How humans are "slaves", and how that leads to the existence of God.

So... escaping hell. Hell that God sends us to. So you're basically threatening me on god's behalf; my big brother will beat you up if you don't do what he says (which just happens to be what I'm telling you to do). That's it? That's your argument for why I should join a religion?

We should do what God says or he will punish us. His authority is beyond question. There is no discussion or reasoning with him. He will do what he wants to do through force.

That is a fascist dictator. I'm surprised you can't see that. Are you OK with this?

I'm not interested in bowing to dictators. I'll live my life using my own brain to decide what is right and wrong, and I won't demean myself by worshipping anyone. A being that demands worship is certainly not worthy of it, anyway. If he punishes me for living a good life, and putting the happiness and wellbeing of people and animals that I can be sure are actually real above his petty demands for attention, then he is an evil egotistical being.

I don't trust any being like that, anyway. Anyone who rules through force and just does whatever the fuck they want can change their mind on a whim and chuck me in the bin even after I spent my whole life sucking up to them. If he has a shred of goodness, he will see that I'm using my brain to live my life in a way I consider good.

Maybe he'll respect me for having the balls to stand up to him, huh?
