A conversation with Robvalue about religion.

The incredibly terrible mode of communication, coupled with the utter failure to clear up misunderstandings, is not consistent with a being that is incredibly powerful and actually wants to communicate with us in a clear way.

At best, it is them playing games with us, hiding one "special" book within hundreds of other books, which all read like fairy tales, and we're somehow expected to pick out the "real" one.

Not interested. God can communicate properly, which I'd expect him to be fully capable of, or he can get lost. Either way, even if he communicated with me directly, which again he should be perfectly able to do, I'm not going to fall to my knees and worship him. The idea that he'd even want me to is rather insulting to him, and paints him as an egotistical, immature humanoid with severe problems rather than a being which is above all human emotion.
