Maybe you're hanging out here because it gives you the feelgoodz to minister to the heathens. Maybe you're doing it because you get a laugh out of irritating folks. Maybe you're doing it because you're honestly questioning.
If it is indeed the latter, go back and reread what I wrote. It's very plain and clear. And if you're not that curious, it isn't my problem.

I'm not saying he uses his omnipotence to force people to worship him upon pain of infinite suffering -- your book says that. I'm asking you to explain how you reconcile what the Bible says with what you write here.
This god you worship is alleged to be omnipotent, but finds a simple "goddamn" to be unforgivable? Cry me a river. I, a simple mortal, can easily get over a little name-calling, yet this deity of yours harbors resentment to the point of damning those to hell? It makes no sense -- perfect in mercy, yet devises hells for people over little words.
Can I get me a cast-iron goddamn? Maybe brass plated for extra effect?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
