To claim an all poweful god can beat the shit out of you and squash you like a bug ok. But when you step in front of it you look stupid. I always get the image of a midget standing spread eagle in in front of the Terminator shouting "Don't hit my God, you might hurt him!" How the fuck can a mere mortal hurt a god? And especially with even mere words?
And then they claim he is all loving on top of that? Really? So this god is more concerned that you don't call him names and that is more important than famine and disease and crime and war? What kind of petty god do you have with such a glass jaw that it is concerned with getting called names?
And this goes with all religions, the real reason humans get bent out of shape, isn't that a real god exists, they get bent out of shape because the thought of being wrong frightens them. They are protecting their egos, not a real super natural being.
