Quote:Any deity that dictates morality on a basis of 'do as I say, not as I do' is unworthy of worship, admiration or love. Period. To consider this god to be lawful, loving and above reproach is to be the abused spouse in a relationship, deluding oneself with rose-colored glasses to see only the good through your black eye you were lucky enough to still keep after that last beating. And to deny to those who care for your well-being that anything at all is wrong, and also demand that we give that abusive partner the same adoration you have. To fail to understand this is the real problem. The refusal to see things as the non-theists do, that part is the most confusing to me. Defending the idea of a loving god when it clearly isn't that, I can only assume the fear of being guilty of the unforgivable sin of apostasy is what's keeping people from questioning it in that way, and isn't it sad that a kind and loving god has to resort to such blackmail to keep his little prison bitches in line.I understand, nevertheless...a terrible god is still a god. Make peace with the god they believe in, not the god you imagine. That's the one they'd like to see you sent to, after all.
