How and why can people ignore their God’s immoral ways?

Alright guys we have an infinite word salad.

Thanks for your comment.

True. I was an atheist and did not even have a name for God when I had my apotheosis.

Seeking seemed to be enough without naming what I was seeking.

The ancients just used father which I guess is why Freud and Jung chose Father Complex for our internal and instinctual inner voice.

See, if what you're calling God is analogous to what Freud and Jung thought was behind a father complex, then you're not communicating very clearly.  I think something like that is the best way to understand why god belief is widespread and why religion adds something people value to their lives.  That would make it more than a 'mistake' or an 'illusion', but it doesn't make it an external agent or creator of anything apart from our own minds.

Do you think 'god' is something intrapersonal as a product of the psyche or do you think it is something external with an existence apart from human beings?

Please allow me to be lazy. I answered that elsewhere just now and I will put it below.

I gave this poster the reply after giving him this link.

God, regardless of how one describes that word, is whatever ideal one hold in ones mind.

Most people are too dense to recognize that fact.

You're right. I'm so dense that I go by dictionary definitions.


According to Google:
God:
1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.
2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.

1. Where do you store your subjective morals if not in your mind?

2. Where does worship start if not in your mind?

The representation of the only ideal or God you can know is in your mind.

Everyone's ideal or God is a mental construct and can be called an ideology.

What is your ideal or ideology or God? Atheism.

Gnostic Christian do not hold any supernatural beliefs. I think those who do are going into intellectual dissonance.

Stupid id as stupid does.

Correct.

So were you just purposely wasting time with the question?

No.

Do you not recognize how much damage religions have done and continue to do to society?

Should we not fight the supernatural beliefs that are the bedrock of that harm? 

 Both Christianity and Islam have basically developed into intolerant, homophobic and misogynous religions. Both religions have grown themselves by the sword instead of good deeds and continue with their immoral ways in spite of secular law showing them the moral ways.
 
Jesus said we would know his people by their works and deeds. That means Jesus would not recognize Christians and Muslims as his people, and neither do I. Jesus would call Christianity and Islam abominations.
 
Gnostic Christians did in the past, and I am proudly continuing that tradition and honest irrefutable evaluation based on morality.
