My honest reason for disliking the idea of God

RE: My honest reason for disliking the idea of God
Why do you call yourself greedy? If you're saying you're selfish and care mainly about yourself, then that's something for you to decide and isn't relevant to God or religion. I suspect you're trying to imply that anyone who isn't part of a religion is selfish. This is blatantly absurd. Religion is often about following rules to win a prize and avoid being punished. Whether or not those rules are actually about being a good person is of secondary concern. I can figure out how to be a good person without the advice of a bunch of goat herders from 2000 years ago who were having hallucinations or making stuff up.

I don't even know what "God" is, so I can't hate the idea. I get something different from each theist. I find them mostly incoherent, just a load of waffle.

The Gods portrayed in the storybooks are vile and evil fictional characters. I hate the fact that people treat them as "good" and worship them. That's disgusting to me. But I don't hate the characters, because they're not real. I only hate them within the context of the story, like I'd hate any villain.
