I'd probably be a maltheist if the abrahamic god was proven to be real, and the bible was an accurate representation of his character. I don't really care if he's real or not. My main problem is the deity of the bible is evil. If you put a character like that in any other book, it would be incredibly hard to sell the guy as a good natured deity to a modern audience. Maybe it worked for more primitive cultures, but obviously humanity is trying its best to grow out of that kind of stuff, leaving such things behind.
Wasn't Lex Luther framed as a bad guy in the original Superman movie for wanting to drown coastal California? According to the myths, gawd drowned almost everybody once, and plans on burning billions more. Lex was a pretty good guy on comparison.
I think be in a christer is more than just believing christ was real and the buy-bull is (at least in part) true.
