It always boils down to that. There's no real argument to be made for theism, so they have to resort to their book. Probably ignorant of the fact that it's as convincing as a Superman comic to us.
Incorrect! Superman comics have a more consistent canon and an actually-moral actor as the protagonist. As a guide to life, I'd say Superman comics are a million times more useful.

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.
