If there is a God like that then he is unjust and we're all screwed - including the people who believe in him and kiss his ass. How can you trust an unjust God to not turn on you on a whim? How could you be in his presence without being horrified, knowing that here is an all-powerful monster with a bad temper, one who tortures souls for eternity for the 'sin' of being wrong about religion?
Yes, think about that one a minute. There are more than 5 BILLION people on this planet right now, who are members of other religions - - and their "sin" was to be born in India, where their parents were Hindu . . . in Japan, where their parents were Buddhist . . . in Saudi Arabia, where the family was Muslim . . . or even in Iceland, where nearly 100% of the population is atheist. How about the Dalai Lama? Doesn't he seem like a great guy? But nope - 5 BILLION people, who, if you believe like the xtian fundies do, are going to fry forever.
We were xtians because our parents were xtians. The majority of the people on the planet think xtians got it wrong.
