That you've scrubbed so much from your own "god" leads me to suspect that you're halfway to where I'm at anyway. Get back to me when it';s sound and noise, signifying nothing...and then I'll ask you what could possibly go wrong when people believe in sound and noise that signifies nothing.*Sigh* Let me give you some background "noise". Hundreds of years before Jesus, a man from Greece named Alexander the Great, conquered the world. He demanded that all nations surrender to him in HIS language which was Attic Greek. That language became the language of the world. Attic Greek is itself a dialect of the Classical Greek.
Alexander did this because he knew there was no wiggle room for loop hole and interpretation in his language. After the demise of Alexander, his Attic Greek degraded into local area dialects around the world, including Jerusalem, called Koine Greek. That is the language of the NT.
Koine Greek is highly inflective. It is a root word with alphabet soup telling us the precise inflection of noun declension and verb conjugation. Greek is a precision Swiss watch while English is a sun dial at night with the largest dictionary in the world so that we can explain a thought. "My translations" are the honor of those inflections! The language itself is the interpretation. So PLEASE don't make me a part of that.
"Shitty?" To whom to you give that authority to call anything God, "shitty"? Everything Christian and religion has degraded into shit! Friend, you are self deceived because you do not challenge words. Your whole life is your anecdotal evidence that their is no God. Congratulations!
It seems that you want to defend God but not the institutions which revolve around its worship. Why is that? I mean, what do you think God is (please be as explicit as possible as I truly have no idea) and what do you think people should do differently in their lives based on what you believe?
Also, what did you mean by "anti-theist" when you made this thread?
