Potter to the clay

That's like me creating a group of people on an island and because I'm very powerful, I can do what I want to them. Torture them, drown them, burn them and it will be ok because I'm powerful. Christians and other theists would hate my guts for that and yet they worship a being that behaves no differently. Where's the sense in that?
God always gets a free pass.

Quote:I believe that God views our lives in two ways; without his guidance we go to destruction, with his guidance we go to life.
And yet secular societies tend to be very peaceful and productive while more religious societies are violent and over run with crime.

Quote: When I was a kid I thought my mother was evil because no matter how much I called for her, she wouldn't help me get away from the doctor, while they gave me my shots. I fought, literally fought them, but later I learned that I needed those shots, they were going to help me survive diseases that could kill me. That's how I view what God does in my life.
Except god will let you and your family members die of cancer, heart disease, slow painful deaths through various means and will also be happy to burn you and your family for all eternity for simply lacking belief.
I'm confident in saying that I'm a far more moralistic being than god.



Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
