Let's face it, if God doesn't have the time or inclination to listen to the freaking Pope's prayers, why would anyone else expect a look in?
You know... Whether or not such a crazy character such as Yahweh exists is a matter of fact, it exists or it does not. If someone thinks it exists, however misguided, to them that is how it is; fair enough. It's choosing to then worship the piece of shit that I can't understand. They are the ones trying to convince us that he really did all the horrific stuff in the books.
If I believed it was real, I'd be totally enraged at it, and wanting answers as to why it was such an evil prick. My "prayers" would sound very different to the norm.
Reading the above again, I realize I'd go from a calm atheist to an angry theist! It's non-belief in God that keeps me calm, because I can laugh at the stupid character knowing it's not real. Obviously it's not emotion that drives my conclusion, it would just be a side effect of finding out there really is a massive nob-end screwing with us.
If the Character Yoda demanded Luke to murder Lea like God did with asking Abraham to kill his own son, I doubt people would find such a plot moral. If Superman demanded Jimmy kill Olsen nuke the entire city of Metropolis or Superman actually nuked it himself like God did with the flood, nobody would find such a plot moral.
So cherry picking is the only way humans can defend the god of Abraham. Believers simply cant stand someone rightfully pointing out there is no difference between the fantastic claims of holy books and the fantastic claims of a comic book story. Both require suspension of disbelief.
