You understand that your poll options are not identified in the actual poll and your descriptions are so borked as to be intentionally polarising and that you have intentional left out a swathe of other positions, right?
Absolutely right. I intentionally left out the average atheist or the average theist. For the sake of the question, I only included examples at the outer edges of the bell curve in order to stress the difference between a person's behavior and their religious affiliation (or lack thereof). I could not have done that if I'd been inclusive.
My descriptions were too long for the poll options. That's why I said "see op."
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
