The fact that Christians would rather resort to the unreasonable "father figure" label is testament to their ignorance. They then claim that god is above human understanding, yet they seem to understand god perfectly so long as they are telling non-believers that they must follow THIS god. Contradictions and fallible religious interpretation abound. Leaps and bounds.
God is nothing more than man's willingness to fool himself into thinking there is a higher being that wants the world just as his human mind perceives it should be. The god concept. The willingness of man's mind to delude himself into believing that a god exists.
Dawkins got there first dude:
Richard Dawkins Wrote:The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
