Christian Apologists Act Like Abused Women

[Rhondazvous]

Have you ever noticed that when theists defend their deity they sound very much like abused women?

Abusive parent might be the more correct term. Which culminated in Drich's abysmal thread on beating children. That's what many of evangelicals believe. I beat you within an inch of your life because it's for your own good. Tough love.

Evangelicals, because to my knowledge they're the only ones not yet accepting the age of enlightenment and the general rules of human decency. Also because they're the only ones putting much stock in the OT. All the other denominations or derivates thereoff, rather subscribe to humanism, and I have no problems with their kind of belief.

Yes, that is another way of looking at it. Christians look at their god as both a parent and a husband. I've always wondered if there might be an etymological connection between husband and husbandry.

I agree, not all Christians act like the ones we see here at AF. I am fortunate to live in a town where the Christians believe god wants them to be kind to others. It would serve no purpose for me to disabuse them.

I hadn't read the Drich thread. Speaking of Drich, I was just over there with Steelcurtain and them talking about ass gaskets. Those papers they provide to cover public toilet seats. So Drich is an ass gasket for god.
