It's not like -I- believe that god is anything at all. Frankly, I can't help but think that if there were a god, it would be just a -skosh- better than the object of your fixations.
Calling him a monster is like shooting punches at the skies. He's a fact of this world; the eternal refugee, God of the worlds. You can't be angry at facts ! that makes you quite..unstable.
Imagine a guy fist fighting gravitational pole
Sure, I've commented on that many times before, in this thread and in others. If god gets his jollies by tossing people in the pit...well, he;s a god, there's nothing we can do about it...plenty of people will end up in the pit.
That, however, doesn't make him good, nor does it solve the problem of evil. It explicitly affirms it.
If I was living under an earthly despot I probably couldn't do much about that either. Strange how often this notion of "god" is so similar to the worst representatives of the human species, don't you think? Was god the model that tyrants aspire to, or was he modeled after an aspiring tyrant?

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
