How you doing, flatfoot? Long time, no see.
Silly, it's on account of the tales in the bible. Is there any truth in it at all? If so then "monster" seems pretty fitting.
What if whether you answer yes, no or maybe you are still doing god's will? One moment you say we're damned because of our 'decision' not to believe of our own free will. The next: it's all god's will. You do see this, right?
The only reasonable answer is who the heck cares? Remember, the first thing Rob said -and I agree- is that he does't believe in any model of god, not even yours. But you want to assure us we're in your secret friend's good graces? Pfft, why should anyone care?

Anyhow, I could never love something that is ordering me to love it "or else". That is a monster.
Well..... an observation, questions and a hypothetical @ you.
You say there isn't a god.
If you don't believe in God, why do you call Him a monster? Because of what others tell you about God? Or because you know that for a fact?

What "IF" answering [yes] to all of these questions meant you were doing God's will, ..
