Disappointment in God's idea

It's indeed depressing to face a God's idea where he is either your Master for whom you are something of a slave(Got very ill - praise the lord, reason for the sickness is your sinfulness). Or his "filtering system" will have to respond in extremely disproportionate way.

Try this on for size: a quote* from Dan Barker,
http://www.thinkatheist.com/photo/dan-ba...-will-i-be
. . .

Quote:“Asking, "If there is no God, then what is the purpose of life? " . . .

is like asking: "If there is no master, then whose slave will I be? "

"If your purpose in life is to submit as a slave, then your
meaning comes from flattering the ego of a ' person '
whom
you should detest".

There are no atheists in terrorist training camps.
